Dear President Obama,

Praise for your humanitarianism and extreme intellect regarding your press conference this morning. That was exactly what this country should espouse. Much about this country does not make me proud to be an American but that press conference raised my faith in the USA. You are handling this situation properly by not sending in the war machine and by respecting the dignity of all peoples and yet doing everything you need to, to protect this country from terrorists. To the best President in my 69 year old life, I commend you.

Shutting down the pipeline yea! I could go on...

One thing left to be addressed before your tenure ends:

The justice system / sentencing structure / lower court and appeals courts / corruption and moral lassitude--needs to be turned upside down, and help Elizabeth Warren and her war on the big banks.

Thank you again for your great work.
