I ABSOLUTELY LUV MY PRESIDENT

 
 
Hi Ladies  & Gents,

 
Today, I want to first give my condolences to the families who lost their babies and love ones in the tragic massacre which took place in Newtown, Conn. There is really no words to express what I and others are feeling around the world. However, I want to say how much I luv my President. I feel he is a True Man of God, a humble man. Some will argue the point saying, he is Muslim or whatever. But Muslim (true Muslims) I know respect the communities, their wife, and the like. I have never seen a President cry over a tragedy or cared for the people as much as he does.  Extended his hand to other countries to be a friend and not a foe...Yes, I am sure he is limited to what he can do for all mankind. For reasons I will not get into. Anywho, this is what put the icing on the cake. I just felt so moved that he took the opportunity to respond to the coach.  See letter below:

Dear President Obama,

The Newtown community is so thankful that you are coming to help us heal. In times of adversity it is reassuring to know that we have a strong leader to help us recover.
- Steve George, Teacher/Football Coach
- Bobby Pattison, Teacher

You're in our thoughts and prayers.
- Barack Obama
Granted, Obama's salvo was brief, but it was still powerful in its brevity. Most importantly, it said what all Americans have said, all they can say in the wake of such an unspeakable tragedy. Newtown is in everyone's prayers.

In this case the president didn't appear to be responding in his official role. Rather, he seemed to be writing as a father of two young girls. There is no mention of the word "President" in his response. Perhaps that is because he felt it wasn't needed. Perhaps he felt it wasn't important.
