Dear Ms WAlker,

I was critical of Obama from the first because of his Mideast stance. Many people have been. But, it is one dividing point of many possible others.  
 
Being able to hope for justice in this, our nation, far outweighs his foreign affairs policies for the moment. I have been crying out for realization of the travisty, the divisions and the lack of concern we have had toward our own people here and alive, still, in the USA.  
 
A year ago, I hated what I saw as rhetoric from the Obama camp. How could anyone really understand what these past eight years have meant unless he or she has suffered unreasonably and personally during them?  
 
However, Obama has reached out his hand in sharing what he did not have to share, that of his personal history. He has done this with even me, one who has very much suffered these last eight years.  
 
He has modeled from the territory most easily hidden: from his heart. And, his ideals are now being put to the fire, the kiln of all the pain I and others have not easily been held into.  
 
The severity you, Ms Walker, can see statisically but have not personally felt in your life as a university professor. Money would prevent such a thing, same as with Obama.  
 
So horrific is mine and others situation, one truly believes there is a war going on right here. So poor are the new poor, there should be a new name for us. 
 
I, for one, cannot at this time forgive my nation\'s cruelty. Thoughtlessness is one thing. But the abusers helping hand, that of too many, so, so many helpers pushing us toward the deepest end of this country should be criminal. But, currently there is no legislation available, even as it sets in the books, as we search and search for what has simply died here in the US.  
 
My accusers are the same as others\' accusers. Blame circles our heads. Discrimination piles on top of abuse. Ms Walker, you knew of this at one time. I fail to see your understanding now. I\'m sorry, but you were not there to hand out words about my dying soul, not when I needed justice. And, you are not there with my children as they try to live without a mother, they afraid of what might happen next at the abuser\'s hand and the hands of the helpers, the judicial system of America. 
 
When hope is as water running of my hands, Obama acted. He spoke. He broke through the wall, the apartheid of the American woman, bruised by the American man and assisted by the American judicial system. 
 
At least, now I can hope along with a few others. We feel Obama has the centeredness to know what the kiln feels like well enough to understand the pain on our faces. He has shown himself to be unshakeable as his own dear mother passed from him one day before national elections at such an early age. We mothers can see. We pray a mother\'s prayer for him and his family. We are the open eyes, the souless hearts. We are the beginning of the healing of our nation of people, we the abused women of America now. Do not preach. No. Join up with our hands. Why must we continue to cry to other people\'s in other nations, while our own add dung to the heap in our good names?
