When i read obama's letter to his children....

Dear Malia and Sasha,
I know that you've both had a lot of fun (and the children at Palestine are having lots of fun since last 61 years) these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food (While palestinian children eat phosphorous or being eaten by bombs) your mother and I probably shouldn't have let you have. But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy(shame on you Mr. Obama, hundreds of children being killed by your master- “Israel is America’s Bulldog” is a cliché and now its explicit that Olmert and his army are the masters of America, after his TV appearance about the call with Bush on UN resolution voting - at Gaza and you musing about puppy), it doesn't make up for all the time we've been apart. I know how much I've missed these past two years( Thousands of Children in Palestine lost their parents not missed), and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.
When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me--about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day (Mr. Obama, what about the screaming and cries of the palestinian children, lighting up your day? ). And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn't seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours (and the misery I saw in west Asia). And I realized that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, that's why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation(what about the children allover the world suffering by the inhuman foreign policy of United States of America).
