Obama is an outstanding leader

To the Editor:

I am extremely proud of President Obama and his tireless work for the people of our country.

Thanks to the Banner Graphic, I read in full the wonderful words our president spoke in September to school children throughout the country.

I was so moved that he would take the time to tell our children (including my own) that they can be whatever they are determined to me.

I found his words inspiring and full of compassion.

What a great country we live in -- with such an outstanding leader.
