Mr. President,
I’ve supported you since that fateful Super Tuesday in the primary election season of 2008. I took time to read you platform, listen to your own words, and observe the way that you communicate with the American people. I knew, even back in February of 08, that if this nation was to have a positive future, that you would be the next president of the United States.
After you were elected, I was ecstatic, but also cautious of the public reception. I knew that declarations of "the end of racism", the "fruition of MLK’s dream", and the end to the ills of America’s social and economic problems were all premature and simplistic. I expected to see that elusive change, the healing of some of American’s deepest wounds, and the gradual improvement of the lives of Americans who had suffered through the policies of the past several decades. But nearly two years in, things have not quite gone the way I imagined, and frankly, I’m exhausted.
