Obama's Letter to His Daughters

Not surprisingly, Obama's letter to his daughters is a touching and well written piece.

I only flinched a bit when I imagined Obama's speechwriter pounding out the words of this seemingly personal "to my daughters" letter in a cafe or empty apartment.

I guess as president, no correspondence of his will truly be personal because it will be archived. But upon reflection this seems more a letter of Obama explaining to the world why on earth he decided to put his family through the roller coaster ride of a presidential campaign, with a bit of his-vision-for-this-country (so that he can justifiably talk a lot of fluff with no real substance) on the side.

Then again, I'd just be laughing out loud if this were McCain being the President-elect and publishing a letter to his children. It would just look too forced. Obama, on the other hand, seems to always have an interesting story to tell. Props to him for being able to pull that off, but really, if this goes on too much more I might start to think I'm watching a prime time soap op.
