Kudos to Amazon for introducing Frustration-Free Packaging! My only question is what took so long? Make sure to check out their gallery of "wrap rage" too. I hate blister packaging with the heat of a thousand white-hot stars, and It is encouraging to know that I am not alone, and that at least one high-profile retailer has heard our complaints and responded. Now if we can just get Walmart on board...

Congratulations on making history! The endless string of old white guys was growing a bit tedious, and it was about time that America showed the world that we have the courage to elect a black man to lead us. You have your work cut out for you, as expectations will undoubtedly be higher for you than they would be for a white president.

I wanted to address something you said in your speech last night. You are my president, but I did not vote for you. Indeed, I did not vote for any of the candidates for president because, frankly, none of you deserved my vote. You see, I am part of a growing segment of the American population who has become disillusioned with the political theater we call elections. No matter how eloquent the oratory, no matter how grand the promises made, and no matter how much apple pie a candidate eats, a campaign and a candidate devoid of principles that match my own is of no value to me. I see through the rhetoric and the flashy graphics. You are not what you seem, and nor are any of the other aspiring politicians.

I am part of a group that continues to grow in size and popularity. A group that will not be placated, patronized, or pandered to. A group that understands that America was founded upon principles of freedom and that we have strayed much too far from that path. A group that knows that no good can come from perpetuating the traditional two-party system. A group that occasionally makes its voice heard with candidates like Ross Perot and Ron Paul, and sees that the frequency of those occasions is increasing.

Mr. President, I sincerely doubt that you will ever represent this group, but I certainly hope that you will try, and I pray that you will succeed.
