Dear President Obama

Congratulations. I just wanted you to know that while your campaign promises were large, and your message far reaching beyond what many deemed possible; my expectations for your first term are low. Not because I do not think you are capable of doing great things, nor is it because of any cynicisms or sour grapes on my part. I proudly voted for you, sir. No, my low expectations are due to the incredibly low bar set by your predecessor. If you manage to go the first four years without choking on a pretzel, or mispronouncing the word 'Nuclear' I will consider your first term a huge success. I am sure I'm not alone in feeling that we as Americans have reached a new low. In 8 short (though painful) years President Bush has squandered over 200 years of American pride and reputation building. It is by this level of incompetence that your -and all future Administrations- will be measured. If you can manage to undo the damage done to our economy, foreign relations, constitution and environment than by all means please do so. But as far as I am concerned there is nowhere to go from here but up, you would have to accidentally nuke an American city to out stupid President Bush. So don't let the pressure get to you too much. I wish you the best of luck. Congratulations once again. -Josh
