What advice would you give a new President?

New York, April 26 (IANS) As President Barack Obama completes 100 days in office next week, the White House has received a book full of letters and drawings from children who have offered praise ('You should be on all dimes in the world'), advice ('Talk carefully') and suggestions ('Help us be nice').


'Will the clarity of kidspeak cut through the perpetual din of presidential advice? We hope so. As five-year-old Rukiya Holland-Thomas from Montclair, N.J., demonstrates in her letter, great leadership could be so beautifully simple.'


'Dear President Obama,' Rukiya writes. 'Help us be nice. Get everyone in the circle, and then you can tell them to listen to you.'


'I want my children's children to see polar bears!' writes 10-year-old New Yorker Paola Wernick about the environment.


'Please do not forget Darfur,' pleads Tasha Slavin, 11, from Missouri.


'Talk carefully on the radio,' warns San Franciscan Ashley Wu, 7, 'and don't talk too fast because you're going to mess up if you do'.What advice would you give a new President?

It seems that nobody has managed to fix that problem since Plato spoke about the solution some thousand years ago. Is it realistic to think that Obama is THAT different from the others...?? I have a doubt..
Don't try to be ';all things to all men';- it might be possible for an omnipresent deity, but you are human.

I am made All things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
