Very much appreciate the thoughts and sentiments of this letter — and this is coming from a relatively-liberal individual. Thank you for taking the time to pen[?] this piece, and articulating this perspective on voting.

A question I have after reading this: what are your thoughts on President Obama? I recognize that his viewpoints are ideologically opposed to yours, and I have no doubt that you have myriad frustrations with his policies and leadership (I do as well at times, though I’m sure not as often as you do).

That said, it seems to me that he represents a type of leadership in terms of character that you aspire towards, and is a moral leader that generations to follow will be proud of — even if they disagree with his policies.

I think it is entirely possible to respect a man’s character and integrity while opposing his political values (and a woman’s, for that matter). Do you agree?
