[Grovenet] Being thankful

[Steele, Mike]

I'd like to express my thanks to Presidents 43 and 44:

Dear 43...thank you for leaving the office.  Same for your VP.

Dear 44:  thank you for coming to this office.

Thank you for having a good mind, a keen intellect.

Thank you for showing signs of humility and self-reflection.

Thank you for being a constitutional scholar.

Thank you for being able to express yourself clearly and eloquently.

Thank you for undertaking to reverse the unbelievable damage 43 and his supporters did to the world and our beloved country.

Thank you for being strong enough to withstand the acid of racism, the attitudes of people who would throw your campaign signs in the garbage.

Thank you for seeing the big picture.

Thank you for working so hard to drag this country and the world fully into the 21st century.

Thank you for looking forward, not backwards.

Thank you for not excluding those who disagree with you.

Thank you for leading a true people's campaign.

Thank you for bringing to Washington D.C. the happy faces of a true cross section of this country.

Thank you for not feeling comfortable just in the company of "the haves, and the have mores" (43's preference).

Thank you for not closing yourself off from the world.

Thank you for attracting 200,000 Berliners to a speech you gave last year.

Thank you for bringing hope to us.

Thank you.
