President-Elect Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW  Washington, D.C.  20500 Dear President-Elect Barack Obama, First off, I just wanted to congratulate you on the fine path that led you to where you are now. I know that it must have been hard for you to get to where you are, which is one of the best and most powerful positions in the world. I liked the way that you ran your campaign, and when I am old enough to run for President I would like to have some of the same policies that you do because I really agreed with them. You did a great job on your campaign trail and I, well the people of this great country hope that you continue to do so. Thank you for making the history that I thought that this country needed. But the reason for me writing this letter is not to just congratulate you on the fine job you did, it was to inform you on what I feel the first issue that you should address is. I think and what everyone else thinks you should address is the economy because of the bad shape that it is in. Also, because the economy is something that affects everyone everyday of their lives. The economy tells the prices of everything that we buy in the store and we all need to buy the things that they sell in the store to survive. If those prices are high then we will have less money in our pockets to buy on other things which will drive the other companies down. Sadly, this has already started to happen and if we don’t stop it soon it will get even worse and that would be a catastrophe. You should address this first because we get affected by the economy, and if a couple of people are hurting it will impact the entire economy and when more people get affected it will hurt everyone and damage the economy even more. Also, the seven-hundred billion dollar bail out plan, I believe, is working, but very slowly. I think that it would work faster if CEO’s of huge companies were not giving themselves fifty-thousand dollar raises and sending their employees on spa trips. A solution to this problem would be to have all of the companies receiving money from the bail out program report what the use the money on to stop them from using the money on whatever they want while the rest of us are all suffering. We all are suffering except for the extremely wealthy and I feel that this should stop. The CEO’s aren’t doing any thing with the money that could help us. Those people are taking the money that we give them and not putting it to good use, only to make us suffer even more. I feel that it is not fair to everyone else and I’m sure that you will agree. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and I really hope that you will listen to my words and put them to use in you time as the President of the United States. Sincerely, Christine
