Transcript:

January 20, 2009

Dear Barack,

Congratulations on becoming our President. You have just begun a fantastic chapter in your life.

Very few have had the honor of knowing the responsibility you now feel.  Very few know the excitement of the moment and the challenges you will face.

There will be trying moments.  The critics will rage. Your "friends" will disappoint you. But, you will have an Almighty God to comfort you, a family who loves you, and a country that is pulling for you, including me.  No matter what comes, you will be inspired by the character and compassion of the people you now lead.

God bless you.

Sincerely,

GW
