Dear Former President Obama

Imagine what America would look like today if General Washington had handed over his sword to the British at Valley Forge.

Imagine what America would look like if President Lincoln had listened to naysayers in June of 1863 and given up before Gettysburg.

Imagine what America would look like if you, when a Senator, had decided you could not win the nomination or the Presidency because experts said you did not have a chance.
