The black binder arrived at the White House residence just before 8 p.m., and President Obama took it upstairs to begin his nightly reading. The briefing book was dated Jan. 8, 2010, but it looked like the same package delivered every night, with printouts of speeches, policy recommendations and scheduling notes. Near the back was a purple folder, which Obama often flips to first.
"MEMORANDUM TO THE PRESIDENT," read a sheet clipped to the folder. "Per your request, we have attached 10 pieces of unvetted correspondence addressed to you."
Inside, Obama found crinkled notebook pages, smudged ink, cursive handwriting and misspelled words -- a collection of 10 original letters that he considers among his most important daily reading material, aides said. Ever since he requested a sampling of mail on his second day in office, the letters have become a staple of his presidency. Some he immediately reads out loud to his wife; others he distributes to senior staff members aboard Air Force One. Some are from students requesting help with homework; others are from constituents demanding jobs or health care. About half of the letters, Obama said during a recent speech, "call me an idiot."
They are the most intimate connection the president has to the people he governs, aides said, but even this link is hardly direct. Each day, 20,000 letters and e-mails addressed to Obama are screened for threats and then sent to a nondescript office building in downtown Washington. Hundreds of volunteers and staff members sort the mail into categories before a senior aide picks the 10 destined to provide Obama with his daily glimpse beyond what he calls "the presidential bubble."

I thought they said they weren't vetted - because much more than 50% thinks he's an idiot.
On second thought - why would he have to read our letters, can’t he just hear our prayers?
“Unvetted”? I don’t believe that for a minute. Those toadies running around the White House wouldn’t dare give him letters that might make him angry or upset. They are there to please their leader.
At least Bush had humble moments. I don’t believe for a minute that this narcissist gives a damn about Americans or his personal shortcomings.
... he distributes to senior staff members aboard Air Force One. - “call me an idiot.”
Don’t waste your time writing to this monster. In fact, whatever you say can be cherry picked out of context and used against you.
Dear Mr. Gable Obama, I am writing this to you,
and I hope that you will read it so you'll know,
My heart beats like a hammer,
And I stutter and I stammer,
Every time I see you at the picture show.
I guess I'm just another fan of yours,
And I thought I'd write,
and tell you so.
You made me love you,
I didn't wanna do it, I didn't wanna do it,
You made me love you!
And all the time you knew it, I guess you always knew it
You made me happy, sometimes, you made me glad.
But there were times, sir...
Sure he does, .....and I have super powers and can turn invisible!!
Ri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ght.
But maybe only 50% of the people who actually bother to write thing he’s an idiot. The rest don’t waste their time. But I’m not really believing that his staff gives him letters which call him an idiot.
I’m sure he gets a balanced selection of letters. Some start with, “Oh, Mighty One:” and the rest with, “Dear Leader.” See, it’s balanced.
Post of the day:)
Wow. The Wussington Compost calling Bukkaki O'Bunga a new, racially-charged nickname? Who'da thunk it?
:-)
“But maybe only 50% of the people who actually bother to write thing he’s an idiot. The rest don’t waste their time. But I’m not really believing that his staff gives him letters which call him an idiot.”
Maybe the other 50% call him something worse than an idiot. There are other things to call him.
This is the sort of thing W would do without a press release.
All I want to know, is who is the brain-bending guru who gets to pick the ten daily letters?
"Who's Your Daddy?"

Cheers!
Hundreds of volunteers and staff members sort the mail into categories
Which they do, how, exactly, without opening them first?

'Unvetted' my arse.
Who cares? He is the worst president ever. At least in the past 110 years.
