Damn, guys. I don't know how you do what you all do. You work in a building that runs the United States of America. I sure do know I could not do what you all do.
I've always wondered what it's like to live in the White House, to work in the capitol or Pentagon, or to just walk pass the White House every day on my way to work. Washington D.C. is a crazy city -- our country's leaders live there! Do you ever think about that? Our freedom that we have now is because of the workers inside those monumental and historical buildings.
No, this isn't going to be about politics. CNN has that all covered and I'm sure they are talking about the election right now as you are reading this. Personally, our society has never really said thank you to the leaders of the United States. Whether you like the president or not, he/she is dedicating their life to help your everyday freedoms and that's a pretty cool job. So many people are wanting to live in our country now, and I think it's important to just take time to say thank you the people in Washington D.C. working to make our country something better each and every day.
The President of the United States has to have body guards and security following him/her around. Could you imagine wanting to go to the grocery store and having a few people follow you every where? I know we all like our personal space, and it's hard for the president to find that time. They do it for YOU. Sacrificing personal space for you... have you ever thought about that? College students always need some time away from roommates, siblings sure as hell need their space, married couples, dogs, bees, everything. President, not so much.
They get reprimanded more than praised. I know I would quit from lack of confidence and criticism if I had the job of the president. He/She can't just get up and walk away (maybe because their security would get in the way, HA) but seriously, they get so much criticism when all the president is doing is trying to HELP and IMPROVE our society. Crazy concept...
Whether you are a republican, democrat, independent, whatever... Washington D.C. is trying to help you and our society improve. Yes, they do things and act on situations that I don't approve of, but I realize that they are doing what they are for the greater good of society. Maybe it doesn't benefit you, but it will benefit someone somewhere who really needs that.
It's a hard job to be president of the United States of America - so thank you to Barack Obama for running the country for 8 years, and thank you to Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton for wanting to take on the biggest job in America.
...and if someone in the White House sees this, let Obama know I said thank you!
