Dear President Obama,
I'm Auvelle. I am in the third grade. My school is George Mason Elementary. I am glad you are the new president of the United States. When you became the president I felt really happy for you. I'm glad you are the 44th president. My class and I voted for you and watched the Inauguration. We had buttons with your face on them. Can you make the war end and make Churchill better? I ponder the idea that you are going to be the best president ever. Do you like being president of the United States of America? Congratulations Barack Obama on becoming the president!
Sincerely,
Auvelle
