Dear Senator Obama,<br />

Letter to United States Senator<br />

Barack Obama<br />

(<strong>Democrat</strong>, <strong>Illinois</strong>)<br />

From Soulard’s Notebooks<br />

June 22, 2008<br />

12:03 a.m.<br />

Coffeetime Coffeehouse—<br />

my armchair<br />

Portland, Oregon<br />

I am writing to you tonight in the full & hopeful expectation that come about seven<br />

months from now, you will be sworn in as the next President of the United States. You’ll<br />

take the vow to defend the Constitution, be nodded toward by a group of important faces,<br />

& a cheer will ring the globe. You will be a kind of new bride not just to this nation, but<br />

also to the six billion souls around the world your words & actions will affect from that<br />

winter’s day on.<br />

<strong>The</strong> nightmare of George W. Bush in elected office will be over. He & his criminal<br />

brothers will be pushed off the world stage. Perhaps to continue their treacherous pursuits<br />

further in the shadows. But you, sir, will be the man chosen by a nation to bring its highest<br />

office back into common light.
