Dear Obama

I have been wanting to write Obama for some time.  Before I thought it was just to let out frustrations because in reality all the words and all the time spent writing would never result in any action.  The best thing I could ever attempt to receive is the learning and knowledge from the words I could pen. 

Now that is all a little too wordy but all I'm really attempting to say is that it would be a waste of time.  Well, in fact, my wife's aunt decided to write Obama and there was a response.  And, surprisingly, an action.  Whether that action was just a result of already revolving circumstances or due to the letter to Obama, they attempted, and actually, did submit a letter to Obama, which I was under the impression, must be answered, at least by his administration. 

I, actually, was just going through old collected junk, getting ready for a child(as a child, a 30 year old one), and ran across a response I received from Bill Clinton.

I wrote him, in what I can remember is most likely 4-6th grade, which would be around 1996, I'd approximately say(I'm not good with exacts, which is most likely why a blog, and more so a book by myself would not be beneficial for anyone but me.  Then its just a journal of feelings.  I hope not, but I digress).

I wrote Bill Clinton regarding abortion, and as a child was a one thought Christian, and while my ignorance was admirable as I was more of a believer than my current self, in the church beliefs.  But my beliefs or religion are not what I'm currently try to elaborate on.  He responded to my, what I assume to be heartfelt letter, with an impassioned, as well, and, what felt like, personal response.  It was, in fact, someone else, one of his secretaries/advisories/interns(;p), but it was a response and it felt personal.

Now, if Obama, and I assume he will, would provide that, would I feel any better?

Maybe? Doubtfully.

I need to, however, write him to show him a personal story of student loan debt oppression.  We all have financial difficulties, but is one, that was chosen without full knowledge and educated devising, that should cause a lifetime of financial responsibility for nothing more than a piece of paper and limited knowledge.

I assume there will be more facts in a letter to Obama, but I just have to get over the wonder, and time availability to sit and do it, and commit to it.  When it may, in fact, mean nothing.
