Dear President Obama,

I just wanted to thank the classiest, smartest, funniest, most influential President that I have been alive to witness. Thank you for being such a positive influence. I pray that my kids grow up to be half the person that you, your wife, or your daughters are. You have persevered through some of the hardest times that this country has faced. And because you persevered, because you believed in our nation, you have created millions of jobs and brought us out of one of the worst recessions our nation has been in.

Thank you for keeping our unemployment rate, poverty rate, uninsured rate, and insurance costs under control. Under your presidency, foreign relations have improved, we took out thousands of terrorists and the mastermind behind the September 11th attacks and gave everyone the opportunity to marry who they love. You have worked your hardest to highlight equality and grant us the respect that we all deserve. Whether you are a woman, a man, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, native born, an immigrant, gay, straight, trans, Latino, black, white, purple, or green you are seen as equal in the President’s eyes. President Obama granted everyone the rights they deserve and encouraged others to do so as well. You have fought for women's rights, minority rights, and LGBT rights.

Thank you for making us feel wanted and welcome here in the United States of America. We could not have found a more moral, charismatic and thoughtful leader at such a crucial time.

Also, Michelle Obama, thank you for being an amazing leader and an amazing role model to the 157 million women in this country. I know it’s hard to give up your presidency, but, as we witnessed in your final speech to the nation, you did it with class and encourage us all to do the same. Thank you for all you have done to strengthen our nation. We will forever be indebted to the eight extraordinary years you granted us. We will miss having such a glorious leader.

Thank You,

Citizens of the United States
