An open letter to President Obama
Dear President Obama;
First, congratulations are in order. This was a long, difficult, often miserable campaign. Other than a blip where you clearly didn't want to be at a debate on your 20th anniversary (and who can blame you!) you did an amazing job of being President and being Candidate. Your victory was well deserved.
I am a constituent in the 16th district of California, represented by Zoe Lofgren. I proudly voted for both of you in the election. In fact, I feel incredibly lucky to be in Lofgren's district, because as a politician, I think Lofgren does a fantastic job of representing my views and she cares about a lot of issues that I also care about. It will be a sad day when she finally retires, but I am hopeful that won't be for at least another decade.
