Don’t let anyone bring you down

Dear President Obama,

I have no idea what kind of overwhelming stress is filling your mind, but I do know that I will support you through every decision you make. I do not have the same opinions as you have on certain issues, but you are the President now, so the weight of the country is on your shoulders. Just remember, people may put you on a pedestal, which makes you feel the pressure to be perfect, but you are only human and everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Do what is best for the country and don’t let anyone bring you down or break your motivation.
