Letter to Mr. Kristof

Dear Mr. Nicholas D. Kristof,

Although I completely disagree with Obama being president, I was reading your article and I do agree that we need more intellectual people to run the American government. Your article has made me think hard about what President Bush has done and what Obama might do with America. To me, having an intelligent man in power can help America, and I agree with Obama being president for that reason. I like what you have said about many presidents that have had an intellectual background and have tried to hide it. My opinion is, if you are smart or if you have a special talent then you need to use it to the best of your ability. People, especially presidents, shouldn’t be afraid of hiding their intelligence so they can fit in with others. Like I have said plenty of times, and I apologize for it, I agree that we need more intelligent people to help run our government and America. Finally, I would like to say that I do like this article and it has made me think long and hard about how Obama will do as the president of America and I hope that he will do well and help the country.
