Dear President Obama, I congratulate you on you presidency. I am very happy that you won because you are such an inspiration to many people. I know that you will do well in office. In my opinion I think the War in Iraq is the most important issue right now, and that is what we need to focus on first. First off, we are spending a lot of money on keeping the American troops in Iraq. Our country is going through a financial crisis at the moment and that money can be better spent here in the United States. Also, there is a need for more troops in Afghanistan, but we cannot send them there until the war in Iraq winds down. It costs billions of dollars a month to keep the troops in Iraq. How great would it be if we could use all that money we are spending in Iraq on education or tax relief for families that are suffering in our financial crisis? The government does not have the money to pay for services here because of money spent on the war. Therefore, people in the United States are now suffering because their government services are no longer available due to the costs of the war. As a result of all this money being spent Americans will have to pay higher taxes which will make it harder for families to survive in tough economic times. Meanwhile, the war in Afghanistan seems to be worsening. There are more people being killed right now than in any other point in the war. We need more troops to stop the Taliban from getting back in power. The Afghan people are also getting tired of war. As a result of having not enough troops in Afghanistan the Taliban have been getting stronger. Thank you for reading this, and I am glad that you have become our president because I know that you will do what is right for our country. Again, thank you. Sincerely, Taylor Neelon
