Subject: Re: Not Perfect, But Presidential
I worked in the last year of the Bush administration and the first two of Obama in the WH, in a technical capability. This office was super cool. Their job was tough - many of the letters are folks in a rough spot, very personal stories, very in need. Culling the letters down to 10 a day was taken very seriously, as was his personal connection back to the people.

Today, we have someone who is proud of not reading. Be that a letter, or a critical intelligence report (I wrote bits of some of those in 14 years of strategic intelligence work).
