Dear Mr. President,
I have not always agreed with you, nor have I always disagreed. That’s how things go, especially in politics, but I appreciate your efforts and your willingness to undertake the challenge of the most difficult and scrutinized job on the planet.
My hope, as you leave office, is that those who have chosen to make you a scapegoat get some closure and move on. Pointing fingers does not solve problems, and a continuing partisan crusade of blame (rather than finding a way to fix things and move forward) does not serve the interests of we, the people.
I fear that many have unreasonable expectations of the incoming administration, which were completely and strongly encouraged during the campaign. Again, that’s how things go, especially in politics.
Best of luck in all your endeavors, Mr. President.
Sincerely,
Me

Amen. Couldn’t agree more.
Let me say for the record that I am damn proud to have President Bush as a new neighbor.
