Memo to the President

This blog was inspired by the NPR article "Memos to the President" (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=131073245&sc=fb&cc=fp) which her dear friend, Jayanni Webster, posted on her facbook page and wondered what Jessica would write.
This is what she would write.
Jessica has no real credentials to speak of other than an ardent love of America and the Democratic Party. She also has fantastic delusions about being friends with Barak Obama and has a mad crush on Bobby Kennedy. She frequently turns to Bobby, Dr. Martin Luther King, and Anne Frank for advise. She is training Callie the Wondercat for the Feline World Cup.
Dear Pen Pal,
So ... How are things?
A little rough?
That's okay. Nobody said being President of the United States of America was an easy job. (And if they did they were probably high). It's going to be interesting to see what the second half of your term will bring but I think that we can pull through and come out on top.
Yes. We.
You inspired our nation once and you can do it again - just don't be so scared or cautious. Go back to your roots, the grassroots, and connect with the people outside of Washington D.C. 'Cause those folks in the legislature are kinda crazy and out of touch with the rest of America. You did it before and I know that you can do it again - we are here for you. We are still waiting, just kinda disillusioned and totally freaked out by those Tea-Partiers.
Like I said,
- Get back to your roots and your people.
- Find the young up and coming women in the party and encourage them to take active leadership.
- Come up with a snappy nickname.

:) ... This is awesome! President Obama would love your advice and humor! (p.s. those tea people freak me out too)
