Man sells Obama letter

I heard this story on NPR - it's one of those esoteric bits that they throw in at the end of segments. 

A guy in Florida wrote an angry letter to Obama about the bailout and was totally shocked when he got a handwritten letter in response.  He so valued this correspondence that he promptly turned around and sold it at an auction. 

For some reason, this bugged the crap out of me, and I thought about it for days afterward and repeated the story to several people.
