Dear President, I think the focus of the next administration should be on the middle class people of America, and the economy. The trillions and trillions of dollars we're spending oversears is draining our resources here at home and mathematically there is no way that it can continue. The president needs to immediately slash interest rates for mortgage borrowers to 4% or less if they want to get serious about the housing prices. Of course, some political arrangement needs to happen to put an end to the Iraq war and bring our troops home. And let's not forget about those who are fighting in Afghanistan. Sincerely, Richard Hansen Marina del Rey
