Barack Obama autograph letter signed as President. Upon White House stationery, letter reads in full, ''Dear Mr. Ritter - I received your letter and appreciate your concerns about the toxic political environment right now. I do have to challenge you, though, on the notion that any citizen that disagrees with me has been 'targeted and ridiculed', or that I have 'made fun' of tea-baggers. I think a fair reading is that I have gone out of my way to listen to legitimate criticism, and defend strongly the right of everyone to speak their mind - including those who routinely call me 'socialist' or worse. I sincerely believe that the health care reform bill was the right thing to do for the country. It certainly wasn't the smart 'political thing!' And I hope that in the months to come, you will keep an open mind and evaluate it based not on the political attacks but on what it does or doesn't do to improve people's lives. Sincerely, Barack Obama''. Accompanied by matching White House envelope. Undated letter runs 2pp. in black ink on a single piece of light sage green cardstock, measuring 6.5'' x 4.25''. Fine.
