You might recall that John Hinckley was a seriously deranged young man who
shot President Reagan in the early 1980's. Hinckley was absolutely obsessed
with movie star Jodie Foster, and in his twisted mind, loved Jodie to the
point that to make himself well known to her, he attempted to assassinate
President Reagan. There is speculation Hinckley may soon be released as
having been rehabilitated. Consequently, you will appreciate the following
letter from Nancy Reagan to John Hinckley:
To: John Hinckley
From: Mrs. Nancy Reagan
My family and I wanted to drop you a short note to tell you how pleased we
are with the great strides you are making in your recovery. In our country's
spirit of understanding and forgiveness, we want you to know that we bear no
grudge against you for shooting President Reagan. We are fully aware that
mental stress and pain could have driven you to such an act of desperation.
We're confident that you will soon make a complete recovery and return to
your family to join the world again as a healthy and productive man.
Best wishes,
Nancy Reagan & Family
P.S. While you have been incarcerated, Barack Obama has been banging Jodie
Foster like a screen door in a tornado. You might want to look into it.
John Hinckley
