Obama Writes Letter to Americans

Millions of people feel frustrated with the current political environment, and to cope, some write former President Barack Obama. He receives so many letters from worried Americans that he has responded. In an open letter, 44 writes: “Our country’s progress has never followed a straight line — for every two steps forward, it often feels like we take one step back. But I hope you’ll remember that the long sweep of America is defined by forward motion, and the course we chart from here depends on no one person alone." Obama currently accepts correspondence on his website and at his office via regular mail. Yahoo News received the letter from Obama after sending him a series of interview questions. “Our destiny will be decided the same way it always has been: by all of us; by we, the people: by selfless and engaged citizens who step forward and speak out to guard the values that make us who we are — not just when there’s an election, but every day,” Obama wrote. More here.
