An Open Letter to

Dear Megan,
I'd like to offer my
congratulations to the American women's soccer team for your success. I'm well aware of the hard work and training
that goes into winning in sports and I know it takes a lot of personal discipline
to succeed, especially at this level.

Speaking as someone who voted for you on Super Tuesday, despite my serious reservations, I'd like to offer you some advice. I normally don't attempt to speak for other people, but much of what I'm going to say has been voiced to me by others who agree with me.

President Hollande's response to the horrific terrorist attacks in Paris was completely justified and appropriate. President Obama, on the other hand, seemed cold and detached when speaking of the murders. Where is his anger? Why isn't he outraged like most of us?

When I was growing up, I don't recall ever hearing about mass shootings such as we've had in the past few years. If people have always had guns, yet the mass shootings have increased, what has changed?

It's becoming increasingly apparent that while he loves the benefits of his job, he doesn't like the job itself. He seems to have checked out early. Could he be having some sort of mini breakdown?
