Dear President Obama:

You have run an almost impeccable campaign. The only thing I would have done different (as IF I would ever have the intestinal fortitude to run for public office!) would be that when you heard of some dirt on McCain that wasn't true, especially if you found out that one of your supporters was spreading it, you would publicly denounce it AND put it on your website.

That's about it. I have loved how your campaign kept the news going out in text messages, emails, blogging, pictures, etc. I especially LOVE the flickr account that has been set up in your name that has the personal photos of election night (you can see here at the Obama account on Flickr). The picture of you and Michelle on the couch and your feet are up so that your shoes being worn down can be seen. Between the shot and the pensiveness of your face, it makes it my favorite; but all of them are wonderful. I sincerely hope that you can continue to use all these channels to keep talking to the American people as you lead our country back to dignity. Somewhere I read someone suggesting that you survey and poll the american people when major policy decisions have to be made. What a thought -- somewhere the American people can go to let you know what we think of your policies. It is almost mind boggling. Of course, you have been elected our president, and we trust you to rule fairly and abide by the constitution, but it's just the thought that ordinary people could go somewhere and tell you what they think... it's just mind boggling.

I think the thing I love the most about the pictures on Flickr is the comments from around the world, talking to you as if you actually read the comments. Part of me hopes that someone tells you or Michelle about it, so you can see the comments from ordinary people from literally around the world.

Every time I see a shot of you, Michelle, and your children, it just warms my heart and I automatically pray for you all. That's something, coming from me, who rarely prays. But I do pray for you, and our country. God bless the USA and God bless the Obama family!

If you haven't seen the videos of the will.i.am songs, you MUST go watch and listen:
