To the Editor:

As one of those 60 million Americans who voted for President-elect Donald J. Trump, I/we cannot wait for January 20, 2017 when the 44th President of these United States will not be able to use his phone, his pen or his executive power to reap more pain and havoc on hardworking and law abiding citizens of this once great (prior to Obama) country.

To read all the liberal newspapers as well as those liberal television networks, one would be led to believe that all the chaos throughout the world today is the fault of America’s 45th President-elect? Just listen to number 44 and he will tell you the world is a safer place today than when he took office some eight years ago. Will someone please wake him from his deep slumber? ISIS, Benghazi, Libya, terrorism and anything else concocted by Obama in the next week will be left behind for number 45 to clear up. Please stay solid #45.

Many people of color have contributed to the success of this great country known as America. However, one who stands out at least to me is that noble man who uttered the following words to the masses, “Lord God Almighty, free at last, free at last.” May I, as an older American who not only served my country but voted for #45, restate those words prior to that 20th day of January 20 2017, “Lord God Almighty, free at last, free at last.” May the good ship America right itself. God bless America.
