To President Barack Obama and 1st Lady Michelle Obama,

I just want to say thank you for how you have led the United States of America with integrity and tranquility. I love the way you all carried yourselves. You was always loving and very caring; you are a legend to the Americans. You open your doors to people who were considered to be the least and oppressed. You treated all people with dignity and respect.

I don't know if you all know Tony Dungy. He was the coach for the NFL team the Colts. By the way, he is one of my favorite coaches who was in the NFL. When he was coaching the Colts, I would watch his reaction when things would go wrong on the football field. I would say, "Ooh, he's going to get them." But guess what? That never happened. Tony Dungy stayed calm under pressure. I said maybe he was just doing that because people are watching him. But then they took the camera into the locker room. He was still that same calm gentleman that he was on the field as he talked to the players. I said I want to be like Tony Dungy: stay calm under pressure. Then he wrote a book called Quiet Strength.

So I say that to say this: President Obama and 1st Lady Michelle, you reminded me of Tony Dungy, of his calmness and quiet spirit. When everything seemed like it was going to fall apart and all the enemies were coming from all kinds of directions, you remained calm and you handled the situations in a respectful way. I love that about you all.

You also showed us that your title didn't overshadow who you are. You had fun, liked some of the same things the average citizen in the communities liked. You showed that you was loving people who extended love to others. You gave the American people through example that this is how a marriage should be. This is how a close knit family should be. Thank you for being that example.

In America, when you come to jail, detention center, or prison, you are considered the least and oppressed. Nobody cares. They feel you shouldn't have gotten yourself into that mess, not knowing the whole story. Because it's two sides to every story. But you said, President Obama, I don't see these individuals like that. We need to change this mandatory sentence around. You didn't care what nobody said up in the government. With your own judgment. Even though they still had to go through other people's hands. Thanks to you, so many people got a second chance at life because of your sound judgment. Families and children are happy, especially the children, 'cause it is hard for them when thye have parents or a parent in prison. This traumatizes our children.

I thank you all for dealing with all Americans fairly and loving us. If it could be done to help us Americans' situation to be better, you all made it happen. I want to say thank you President Obama for the outstanding job you have done in the White House. We gonna miss you all. We wish you could go another term. But we understand (regulations, etc.).

I hope Hilary Clinton gets the presidential seat because she is an excellent candidate and experienced.

Take care and love you a/f
President Barack Obama and 1st Lady Michelle Obama
