Questions and Concerns

Dear Mr. President, I am writing to congratulate you on winning the recent election. To be perfectly honest with you, I did not vote for you. I do not like your policies. Nothing against you personally though, I'm sure you are a great guy. However, with your inauguration today there are some questions and concerns I have. First and foremost, I cannot fully accept you, and the dignified office, until you prove, without a shadow of a doubt (much like how our justice system is set up), that you are a natural born citizen. Many bloggers and talk show hosts are talking about the court cases concerning your citizenship. Now you have shown a document of life birth, but those documents were even given out to people of foreign birth. Simply put your refusal to show a Hawaiian birth certificate is substantially hurting your integrity. As soon as all doubts about your citizenship are removed the country can fully be united behind one president, despite ideological beliefs. Second off, what do you plan to do about the economy? My personally opinion is that a hands off approach would be the best way of handling the situation, but I am fiscally conservative, very unlike yourself. With all the bailouts and such, do you think that is the best way to handle such a serious matter? First it was Wall Street, then the automotive industry, who is next and when is enough actually enough? Does pumping money into the economy really stimulate it in a long term sense, or merely the short term? On that matter, do you believe the economic stimulus package you have proposed will actually fix the financial fiasco at hand, or is it merely covering the symptoms of a much larger problem that everyone has neglected to diagnose yet. I must admit, I take my hat off to you Mr. President. I believe you have your work cut out for you. The economy is not doing great, America is trillions of dollars in debt, the American public is disgruntled and unsatisfied with the fundamentalist Right they have had for the past eight years, and the constant warfare abroad is demoralizing the public. If you can fix the problems at hand, or even help jump start a solution to the problems, in the next four to eight years, I will definitely respect you as a great man despite our ideological differences. Best of luck. David Perkins
