President Obama’s touching last letter to Harry Reid

December 28, 2021 By fredrichlariccia

President Obama says when Harry Reid was nearing the end, his wife Linda asked some to share letters she could read to him.  In lieu of a statement, Obama shares his letter to Reid :

Harry,

I got the news that the health situation has taken a rough turn, and that it’s hard to talk on the phone.  Which, let’s face it, is not that big of a change cause you never liked to talk on the phone anyway!

Here’s what I want you to know.  You were a great leader in the Senate, and early on you were more generous to me than I had any right to expect.  I wouldn’t have been president had it not been for your encouragement and support, and I wouldn’t have got most of what I got done without your skill and determination.

Most of all, you’ve been a good friend.  As different as we are, I think we both saw something of ourselves in each other — a couple of outsiders who had defied the odds and knew how to take a punch and cared about the little guy.  And you know what, we made for a pretty good team.

Enjoy your family, and know you are loved by a lot of people, including me.  The world is better cause of what you’ve done.  Not bad for a skinny, poor kid from Searchlight.

Barack

 

Author’s note: You done good, Mr. Leader. You will be missed. Rest in Peace.
