I hope you will receive this letter in the spirit in which it is written.
I am not writing as one of your critics.
You have more than enough of those.
I am writing as someone who has defended your presidency for years—not out of blind loyalty, but because I believed then, and continue to believe today, that your accomplishments altered the course of American history.
