Subject: How this happened

Friend -- I'm about to go speak to the crowd here in Chicago, but I wanted to thank you first. I want you to know that this wasn't fate, and it wasn't an accident. You made this happen. You organized yourselves block by block. You took ownership of this campaign five and ten dollars at a time. And when it wasn't easy, you pressed forward. I will spend the rest of my presidency honoring your support, and doing what I can to finish what we started. But I want you to take real pride, as I do, in how we got the chance in the first place. Today is the clearest proof yet that, against the odds, ordinary Americans can overcome powerful interests. There's a lot more work to do. But for right now: Thank you. Barack ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Barack, Thanks for your note. I want you to know that it has been an honor to help you win re-election over these past few months. Now you can continue your work to  produce jobs, reduce unemployment, reduce the deficit, fix the trade imbalance with China, bring Americans of all races together, reduce the number of people on food stamps, bring peace and democracy to the Middle East, and restore America's place of honor around the world-especially in the Middle East. I would like to take advantage of this opportunity to ask for something for myself. I would like to formally request your consideration for the posting as ambassador to Great Britain. I am fluent in English and have lots of important connections over there. I think I would make a great ambassador. As references, I am listing George Galloway, Ben White, Yvonne Ridley and Anjem Choudary. I thank you for your consideration and congratulations on your great victory. I was proud to do my part. Sincerely  Your friend, Fousesquawk. PS: You might also want to consider Chris Matthews for ambassador to Libya. I hear there is a vacancy.
