[Mishmash] An Open Letter to President Obama - Lou Pritchett

[Fred Atkinson]

         I lived around the DC area for about twenty-five years.

         So yes, I did hear a lot of that.

         We have two weeks for Americans to take the steps to get 
this nation heading in the right direction.

         My opinion is that if Obama is re-elected, our goose is cooked.

         Regards,




                                                         Fred
