Who wrote this letter?

By Tom Quiner

A president leaves office. Here is the letter he wrote to his successor:

***

Congratulations on becoming our President. You have just begun a fantastic chapter in your life.

Very few have had the honor of knowing the responsibility you now feel. Very few know the excitement of the moment and the challenges you will face.

There will be trying moments. The critics will rage. Your “friends” will disappoint you. But, you will have an Almighty God to comfort you, a family who loves you, and a country that is pulling for you, including me. No matter what comes, you will be inspired by the character and compassion of the people you now lead.

God bless you.

Sincerely,

***

Who wrote this letter? Was it …

Dwight Eisenhower?

Ronald Reagan?

George H.W. Bush?

George W. Bush?

or Barack Obama?

Make your guess. I’ll post the answer a little later.

      You are absolutely correct!

    I would guess Putin, to fit with the theme of some of your other posts, if I didn’t know that there has been no peaceful transfer of power in Russia since Putin took office…

      Now, now … Putin wasn’t on the list of choices!

      No, although this also comes from a classy man: George W. Bush.
