Dear Barack,

Hi,
I'm writing this letter,in an attempt to bring you up to speed on what I expect from you.
You see,I'm convinced that you will be the next President of my United States of America.
..Yeah,I said 'my'.
It belongs to me,by virtue of having been born within it's boundaries,nurtured in it's bounty,rejoiced in it's glory,and mourned along side my brethren in times of national grief for more than half a century.
So pay attention young man,because I'm just too tired to repeat myself.

I expect you to wake up each and every morning,as if today was your last chance to inspire the nation to listen,really listen,to the better Angels of our nature.

I expect you to accept,with humble determination,the legacy of freedom,and equality that was at the forefront of our founding father's intent,when Thomas Jefferson first penned the phrase,'We The People'.

I know,you know what I'm sayin',so don't even try to pass responsibility on to some nebulous 'Those guys'..
The buck stops with you son,so don't piss down my neck,and tell me it's raining.

I'm confident that you recognize your place in history as this country's first Afro-American President,..and that's the last time I'll ever make that distinction,because from this day forward,labels count for naught.

I expect you to perform the duties of the office of President,as if you only have one term in which to impact the next several generations of Americans for the better.

Can you do that?..I hope so.
Because if you disappoint me,I will fire your ass on the spot!
I can do that,..I'm an American,..look it up.

Your Friend,
Sling
