Dear President Obama :: I am not disappointed

Dear President Obama,

I was one of the voters who cast my vote for you in the fall of 2008. I voted for you because I felt that you would be the catalyst for the hope and change we so badly sought in this country, at a time when conditions both at home and abroad were worsening. I saw voting for you as an opportunity to bring the change all Americans wanted, so that unified, we could all make a difference together.

And three years later, I am not disappointed.
