Dear Mr. President,

Your hundredth day as President of these United States is coming up. The media has indicated that you might be getting a bit nervous. Well, they used much meaner verbiage, but I'm not trying to discourage you, Sir. One hundred days is a big thing. For decades, it's been the measure of a president. We're not monsters, though. We know to allow for learning the job. It's awfully complicated. It's a good thing you're handling it. I'm not sure a woman could have properly dealt with the complexities involved in running the White House and the country.

It's hard when things haven't gone the way you imagined, but it'll be alright, Mr. President. You had a LOT of big ideas and ambitions for the presidency. It takes a while to translate those ideas into policy and procedure. You shouldn't be ashamed that you haven't completed everything you set out to do in just 100 days. I mean, the term is 4 years. You've got plenty of time to do all of the things you said you'd do. So don't rush, just do everything by the rules and you'll get there. And listen, this 100 days nonsense? Forget about it. Look at all you've done so far. I don't think any US President has ever had this much media hype surrounding him. It must mean you're doing something, right?

Dear Mr. President, On this Earth Day, it's nice to celebrate the Earth and remind ourselves that it's the only one we've got. It's a chance to think about how we can all make a small difference that will add up to big results later. That's why I was so glad that you responded in such a way to the March for Science. Thank you for indicating the turn around your administration will be making to protect endangered species and further the efforts of those organizations dedicated to preserving the Earth. After all, we're not the only ones using the planet. We've got to think of everyone. I'm so proud of you, Sir. It takes a big man to make such a public change. I eagerly await the new policies.

Dear Mr. President, In an interview, you had some questions about the Civil War. Namely, why it happened and couldn't be worked out. Well Sir, let me tell you. Half of our country believed that owning a person as property was wrong. The other half were those that owned the slaves. At the heart of the matter was the way people viewed blacks. To the Southern American, a black person was not a person at all. I'm not even sure if they were considered to be as high as livestock, but they were definitely treated like manure. All because of an uncontrollable factor that allowed them to survive in such sunny climates. By that, I mean the color of their skin. One side thought people were nothing more than objects to beat and work to death, and the other side respected the sanctity of life. Those were some very deeply held beliefs Sir, and it is always difficult to change a fundamental opinion. As for Andrew Jackson being upset about the Civil War, he was dead by then. For 1...

Dear Mr. President, A disturbing report was brought to my attention today. You have allowed logging in National Parks. Is that true? That can't be true, Sir. Logging would destroy our National Parks. The effect would be terrible, both for the environment and for our reputation. People don't say America the Beautiful because of man-made structures. They say it because our country—YOUR country—is inherently beautiful. It's natural structures are breathtaking. Perhaps if you considered them the Trump Tower of parks. It would be like allowing gold minders into your homes. I've seen pictures. They would strip your home of it's very essence. The same is true of logging in the National Parks. Please don't let us become America the Deforested.
