PRESIDENT OBAMA LETTER TO OREGON’S BOOMER BLOGGER

  Fan letter delivers President Obama letter.   What happens after you write a fan letter to the President of the United States? You like their act so you write them to say so. Then forget about it. They’re not looking for a new best friend. Besides he’s got Joe Biden. The memorable part was […]
