Dear Mr Obama, I guess congratulations are in order. By the time you get a chance to read this letter you might have clinched the Democratic nomination and a chance to run against the good Colonel from Arizona in the general Election come fall. This is and exciting moment for all Americans. It is certainly wonderful to have an intelligent caring person with sound American morals, a true patriot with a keen eye for ensuring that we live in a safe and sound world with America at the helm. You have rallied well from the many salvos that were thrown your way. Now the real journey begins .You should not delude yourself in any way into believing that you are going to get some cakewalk forward. If you were to think that way then you are naive and have a limited under standing of what ambition is. You thought Hilary was though, well done be fooled by the Colonel’s age, nor by Hannity, and the Bills – O ‘Riley and Clinton that is. While you are at it pay attention to boards like that rambunctious New Yorker Harriet Christian. Do not for a moment believe that passionate, prejudicial, and racist condescending folks only come from the south. Come to think of it, the south might just be justified – they lost the war and their economic lively hood when all the ungrateful slaves ran away after emancipation. Southern folks are legendary with their anger, and hate loosing especially against intellectual, uppity yuppies with exotic names. Need I say Bill? Did I hear you mumble that you only ran against Hilary? With attitude like that my friend, the only changes you will be initiating come fall will be to your Senatorial quarters in Chicago your home town. Be forewarned, and therefore forearmed.

        Now let us move on to the more serious and pertinent matters at hand. Keep the wife in check for heavens sake. Rumor has it that she might be your weakest link. I’ll give you one of my basic philosophical mantras; it is that “nothing succeeds like success.” Why not emulate the many who have come before and done well with respect to the wives? I know, you have already introduced yourself as an agent of change and cannot look to flip flop on such a fundamental issue. Well, guess what, still keep that ‘Princetonian’ yuppie Michelle in her place. Smart women like her can make their husband look dumb if they don’t learn proper strategic timing by taking care of the cookies.

     Let me throw a few names out to you and may be you’ll get the picture.  First off, I like to separate pending first spouses into two camps.    They are as follows: Those who are smart, are known that is the case, yet need not thy and prove it and in the process upstage their husband especially before the acquisition of the grand prize. Then there are the others who you need to keep on a tight leash, always with a handler nearby. Let’s grade a few modern ones - Laura Bush- smart woman, Nancy Reagan – smart woman, The President’s Mom Mrs. Bush- smart woman. Then there is Marilyn Quale, Teresa Kerry, and Tipper Gore. There was something about those latter day  folks that just rubbed good old blue blooded Americans the wrong way. You should recognize that in the interest of fairness I deliberately left out two very famous ladies Hillary and her beyond the grave mentor Eleanor Roosevelt. Both husbands are quite skillful politicians that knew the way to control their spouses was to keep them busy, while they as men  were free to do whatever their wives did not wish they do. Am I being logical thus far?

       As you move forward in this final phase you must learn a few things such as holding your thoughts and mouth in check at times. You cannot always lay it out. Keep denouncing traditional enemies and pander and cuddle friends as is the norm. Yes, I know, change! America is a democracy, and not England. We do not deal with anachronistic traditions such as manifestos. Our President must not be made to feel   constricted in any way. The outgoing President may say he left a surplus, and when you audit the books, it may really be a deficit. Always be prepared for surprises, no one planned for yuppie disgruntled Muslims terrorist and natural disasters of such proportion as Katrina.

 I am going to now present your most important pre -presidential challenge. Please choose a VP wisely. Remember my philosophical mantra on success? It may mean the difference between political suicide, and an opportunity to crash the Mt Rushmore party with the likes of Jefferson, Lincoln, TD Roosevelt, and Washington someday together with your own holiday. By the way, I like your modesty about your ears.   You might not know but your large ears is not such an impediment but might have worked in your favor on if one can judge by the polls – Mr Mc Cain is trailing. It is only you that can decide why you choose some one. Is it to bolster your image, balance the ticket geographically, but whatever    you decide, YOU WANT TO WIN! None of that Hillary nonsense that woman knows her US history too well.

     While we are on the subject, do not forget to wish the liberal lion that we all adore Mr. Ted Kennedy, a speedy recovery. Talk about a courageous man with love for his country. That’s what leadership is all about, and not polls. Leave the Caucasian woman or Hispanic folks alone, it just won’t work this time around, and the nation can only take so much at one time. Lack of experience they claim might be your nemesis correct? Well it was also for two other successful Harvard Grads like you. Can you remember who the greatest Senator was in American history? Yes, it was L B Johnson. Without him the handsome and charismatic JFK might still be waddling in Massachusetts without Marilyn or Camelot. Of course, we have the most powerful VP in the history of the country, Mr. Dick Cheney your cousin. Talk about a funny straight shooter. He is already campaigning for you it seems in West Virginia, Utah and Texas. Seems he has some negative feelings about incest. He seems to be leading the fight against Mc Cain for now. That’s experience for you however. Go save America, and good luck my friend- you’ll need it. I promise to touch base with you as time progress. Stay Strong.

Yours Truly

Regards
