Kids Say the Darndest Things… about Obama
The Port Huron Times Herald invited children to write letters to the president-elect. Some of them were cute, like Lily who opined on what dog he should get and subtly fished for an invitation to the White House.
Several were serious. A young Mr. Foss specifically asked, “Please keep your promises. Please protect all Americans, including unborn babies.”
But my personal favorite was from a fellow who bravely put his full name and hometown (but I’ll just call him Ian). Ian’s letter was short and sweet:
Some people don’t like you, and I’m one of them. But I’m happy for you, and I pray for you. I hope you will make America a better place.
