Barack Obama recently wrote a beautiful letter to his ten and seven year old daughters for Parade Magazine.
In the letter, he outlined his love for them, and said that his dreams for a better country are inspired by them and by all children.
While I don't agree with some of Obama's politics, I will admit that his letter reinforces that he is likeable and inspiring.
The man writes like he speaks. The letter is easy to follow, and sums up Obama's optimism for our country.

I especially liked what he said about schools:
"I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potential-schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them.
“I want them to have the chance to go to college-even if their parents aren't rich.
“And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and retire with dignity."
