Thanks for this note from my Prez:

Ellen --

When Michelle and I sit down with our family to give thanks today, I want you to know that we'll be especially grateful for folks like you.

Everything we have been able to accomplish in the last two years was possible because you have been willing to work for it and organize for it.

And every time we face a setback, or when progress doesn't happen as quickly as we would like, we know that you'll be right there with us, ready to fight another day.

So I want to thank you -- for everything.

I also hope you'll join me in taking a moment to remember that the freedoms and security we enjoy as Americans are protected by the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces. These patriots are willing to lay down their lives in our defense, and each of us owes them and their families a debt of gratitude.

Have a wonderful day, and God bless.

Barack

Happy Thanksgiving to all, and blessings.

4. Adding a bit about the 'economy,' for those interested.

Surely don't want to offend anyone, but facts are facts:

'U.S. economy grows faster than expected in third quarter.'

Gross domestic product, like it or not, is one of the important items to measure.
