Al Jazeera - Mr. President, Come Talk To Us

[otohara]

Dear Mr President:

Making another speech is welcomed, especially during these uncertain times. But frankly, it won't make that much of a difference unless it is followed-up with a frank and open conversation.

We've already heard three cornerstone speeches destined for the Arab and Muslim worlds, and realise all too well that you're the commander-in-speech. And we've also watched you fight on three war fronts in the Muslim world, as the US Commander in Chief.

But shooting hoops is nothing like 'one-on-one' when playing ball, Barack- if you don't mind me calling you by your court name. You need to put your lay-ups to the test.

And in the Arab court, there is one heavy-weight worth taking on, and that's Al Jazeera. Playing with light-weights is not becoming of someone who boasts about his jump-shots.

This is an excellent idea.

2. USA Spring

Yes it's too bad those states voted in GOP monsters as Governors.

Unlike the ME, OH, MI, FL have elections and not dictators for life.
