Ima,
With Thanksgiving only a few days away, I am reminded of all the things I have to be
Bill Clinton
thankful for this year: family and friends, good health, the chance to help improve lives through my Foundation, and our supporters who make that work possible.

But at the same time. I’m reminded of all the people around the world who still lack access to the opportunities to live their dreams and improve their lives.

In this month’s newsletter, you can read how we work to improve lives around the world, from building sustainable schools in Malawi to responding to the Cholera outbreak in Haiti.

Thank you, as always, for your support.
Best wishes for a healthy and happy Thanksgiving.
Sincerely,
Bill Clinton

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.
(Me)
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.
(Me)
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.
(Me)
So I want to thank you — for everything.
Have a wonderful day, and God bless.

How revealing
Wow, good catch! “The one” really is a party of one.
Wow, Obama doesn’t even acknowledge that there exist others in the world! One of the traditions I love about Thanksgiving is the spirit people feel to forget themselves and to focus on others — especially those who are much less fortunate to have so much — through donations, prayers, or even helping out at food shelters. Bill embodies that tradition of giving whereas Obama embodies the opposite — give me more.
