Dear Mr. President,
I desperately hope that it is President Obama reading this letter. If so, I would like you to know how inspiring your rhetoric, intelligence, patience and tolerance of complexity has been during your campaign. I wish you every possibility of bringing these qualities to bear in what I know will be a tremendously difficult moment in American history. I sincerely believe this country can recover much of its greatness but that to do so will require discernment, courage, competence at levels from high to low. And I would like you to know that I am confident you are up to the task. Thank you for your willingness to see this burden as an opportunity.
Sincerely,
James Peck
Muhlenberg Collge, Allentown PA
