President+letterlh

President-elect Barack Obama, The white house, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: I am so glad you became president! My family and I are looking forward to see what you are going to do with our country. I can’t believe you made history in presidency. I think the biggest problem is the economy. I think one of the problems is that are food and clothing are all going up but no one is getting raises in their jobs. It is nice that the gas prices are letting up a little, but I think they just might go back up. Another thing is that tons of stores are closing down which means tons of people are losing their jobs so they won’t be able to pay for every day expenses. All this is the reason I think this is one of the biggest problems today. The worst thing about the economy is all the stores going out of business. As i know of right now Circuit city and Linens and things are going out of business. Everyone who works there will have no jobs when they close. If this keeps occurring soon our world will be changed, but not in a good way. The second thing right after the economy, but still has something to do with it is the gas and oil costs. People cant afford to be going anywhere anymore so that is probably why so many stores are going out of business, and as I said before the gas and oil prices are going down, but still may be expensive if people have big cars, trucks, or SUVs. That brings another thing to mind that people need to get more fuel efficientcars. My family used to have a big car but now we have a prius because of the gas prices and all the driving my mom does. Big vehiclesput lots of chemical and pollution in the air. I found out that 10 priuses put out the same about of admissions as 1 big truck! I hope this letter meant something to you, and have a great time in the white house! My family and I are all looking for a change, and hope you can make them. Thanks again, Lacey
