  1. E mail to President Obama,

    I’m sure you can loudly
    Sung in your land—
    Where you thrived and played
    But never somewhere else—
    Where every bribed

    By so real enemies

    Thanks for your comments
    You can’t do better
    We will solve our problems
    Sooner or later!

    And please take care!
