I'm glad to see you posting again. I've tried not to take anything personally my whole life, but I think I've screwed up subconsciously along the way. It's something you have to work at. I'm really surprised that people are bringing up that Obama reads and responds to 10 letters a day, because he's been doing this all along. There were articles about it 10 months ago. It's still something to applaud, but why write new articles about it? Hello Samara! I’m glad to see you posting again.

It is strange that the article is coming out now when I, too, knew about it a while ago. (I probably mentioned it here). But if the WaPo finds Obama's letter writing news worthy once a year, then I won't take it personally ;) Hello Stephanie!

Jennifer Cline’s story is so moving. I like her letter, because her feelings were authentic. As much as I empathize for her hardships she went through after losing her job and being diagnosed with cancer, I find her remarkable for her ability to remain optimistic in response to the President’s actions. The author of the article described her letter as “…more of a stream-of-consciousness journal entry than a formal note.” I think a letter like this sounds more authentic and personal – the kind of emotions a reader experiences while reading a hand-written letter. Listening to the news helps me stay abreast of the current affairs. Reading the other letters addressed to the President and his responses gave me a better insight on how people are affected as a result. I’m glad that the President takes his time to be in touch to address our overall concerns. Thank you for referencing this article.
