Dear Mr. President - 
Congratulations on a remarkable run. Millions have placed their hopes in you, and all of us, regardless of party, should hope for expanded prosperity and security during your tenure.
This is a unique office, without a clear blueprint for success, so I don't know that any advice from me will be particularly helpful. Still, let me offer a few reflections from the past 8 years.
First, we've both been blessed, in different ways, with great good fortune. Not everyone is so lucky. It's up to us to do everything we can (to) build more ladders of success for every child and family that's willing to work hard.
Second, American leadership in this world really is indispensable. It's up to us, through action and example, to sustain the international order that's expanded steadily since the end of the Cold War, and upon which our own wealth and safety depend.
Third, we are just temporary occupants of this office. That makes us guardians of those democratic institutions and traditions -- like rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection and civil liberties -- that our forebears fought and bled for. Regardless of the push and pull of daily politics, it's up to us to leave those instruments of our democracy at least as strong as we found them.
And finally, take time, in the rush of events and responsibilities, for friends and family. They'll get you through the inevitable rough patches.
Michelle and I wish you and Melania the very best as you embark on this great adventure, and know that we stand ready to help in any ways which we can.
Good luck and Godspeed,
BO

What is so wrong here PennyLynn? Anyone can post a topic if the want too. You are not going to be allowed to be the OPP POLICE OK? Seriously, this is not some kind of game that its who is first or second or wh**ever when it comes to posted first or not. Please rethink your position. Im sorry PennyLynn but seem to be of the mindset that you have to be THE ONLY ONE WO CAN BE FIRST HERE ON OPP on any given subjectand no one else is allowed to post what they deem fit to share. It doesnt work that way. Seriously PennyLynn, your posts have always been good as far as I can tell. Does it really matter that much to you that someone else may HAVE NOT SEEN YOUR TOPIC PRIOR TO POSTING THEIRS? I myself have not searched to see if someone else has already posted a topic and vice a versa. NO big deal at least to me. Go easy Maam. PLease. We are mostly all on the same side here if you happen to be conservative leaning.
Semper Fi

Thank you, these people are really silly

The left wing h**ers are destroying this site. No discussion, only slurs and lies and phony reports, etc. OPP is infected by a disease called liberalism. They spew hatred from beginning to the end, mostly for our President as they push their l*****t, socialist, unProgressive, c*******t agenda of control and h**e. Post something of fact and real intelligence and you are swarmed by mainly 5 to 10 wackadoodles bent on turning OPP into people shouting at each other as a bunch of low I.Q. lefties respond to everything with slurs. No relief from this i***tic assault. You are free to verify what I say by checking these alt right responders. Free speech is dead here as within and around their favorite alt left attack group, a****a. It is an organized assault by the alt-left. Sad!

Share? I suppose you do not understand the etiquettes of a forum. To help you along, here are the top 25 tips: http://www.toptenreviews.com/services/articles/25-forum-posting-etiquette-tips/

Read the forums rules and guidelines before posting for the first time.
Search the other posts to see if your topic is already covered.
Use a meaningful title for your thread.
Do not use a forum to promote your product, service or business.
Be civil. Personal differences should be handled through email or IM and not through posts displayed to everyone.
Stay on topic.
Ignore spammers, respond to them personally and not through the board, or report them.
Do not submit a post that requires readers to download a large attachment. Either explain the attachment or, better yet, provide a link to the information.
Use plain text over HTML if you want your post to be readable by everyone.
In order to be understood by most people, use correct spelling, grammar and avoid slang unless you know the word or phrase will be understood by other members.
Do not double post (post the same message twice in one thread) or cross post (place the same message across several forums).
Act in a give and take manner; help others as often as or more than you ask for help.
Do not use all caps or SHOUT in your posts. In addition, one exclamation point is enough.
When replying to a post, do not quote more from the previous post than you have to.
Do not post new problems on someone else's thread and interrupt a topic of discussion.
Do not use someone else s thread for a private conversation.
Most forums prohibit warez, cracks or illegal downloading of software and similar topics.
Watch your sense of humor, posts may be read by people from a variety of backgrounds and ages.
Do not use a huge and annoying signature, a modest signature is fine, moderators may remove large ones anyway.
Do not post any information that you want private. Posts should not contain personal, identifiable information or content embarrassing to others.
Do not post content that violates a copyright.
Do not post empty or useless responses, such as just lol or cool. Only post responses when you have something to contribute.
Write concisely and do not ramble.
Do not use words like urgent or important in your subject line, be patient.
Do not chastise newbies.

I hope this will help.
