To the editor:

President Obama’s strength courage and dignity are the very fabric of what it means to be an American.

I am so proud of my president, but I am absolutely ashamed of his treatment.

Every day, the president is subjected to a level of disrespect, treachery, betrayal and sabotage from within that no other president has ever experienced. Yet he succeeds and his success makes our American lives better.

Statistics: Six years of President Obama

I am writing this letter to thank President Obama for being the man he is and the leader of our great country.

God bless America, and God bless our President Obama!

Do not allow the Republicans the privilege to take away your Social Security. Vote Democrat! Vote Hillary Clinton!
