Some people think we need to make America great again. But one eight-year-old girl thinks we just need a little more spunk. And her suggestion caught the attention of none other than President Obama himself.

Obama, who is known to read and respond to personal letters regularly, wrote back to Lily. Sadly, it doesn’t sound like a tye dye t-shirt is in the works:
Obama also makes a point to thank Lily’s Air Force pilot Dad for his service and promises to make working for the betterment of the nation’s youth part of his mission even after he leaves the White House next January.
