Goodbye, Mr. President, and thank you.

Eight years. I can’t say that the time has exactly flown by. I can’t say that it has been the best eight years that our country has ever seen (although, for me personally, these have been the my best years). I can’t say that I agree with every decision you made over the years. But I can say this - Thank you.

Specifically, thanks for:

• Putting America’s best interest in front of your personal legacy
• Being a man of prayer and humbling yourself before God
• My tax cut
• General Patreus
• Your persistence
• Vice President Cheney
• Banning partial-birth abortions
• Getting us out of the recession which you inherited
• Restoring dignity to the White House and being a President in which I could trust
• Killing the Kyoto treaty
• Rebuilding our military and increasing their pay
• Justices Roberts and Alito (my kids thank you too)
• Rebuilding Presidential authority (PEOTUS will thank you too)
• Promoting and creating democracy around the world
• Changing Lybia
• The surge

This is no exhaustive list,by any means. But I am proud to have voted for you twice and would do so again. I thought your farewell address was excellent.  I was so taken by your statement about most of the US having the ability to return something close to normal life after 9/11 – but that wasn’t a luxury you could afford.

 I hope that you will continue to pray for us, speak out when required, and write a memoir to constantly remind us that those in elected office must never return to the pre-9/11 mindset.

May God Bless you and Laura, Mr. President.

Thank you!
