we should get coffee in DC someday, but for the time being let me give some lil’ advice for the next time. Make sure you don’t talk about issues to much. Put some of them on you website, the pundits and bloggers comment on them and communicate it nicely to your electorate. That way you don’t have to worry about them – we run on roughly the same program anyway. What really matters is you TV performance. Pretend you have something to say, although you’re even boring yourself out. The absolute most important thing to respect is to understand what your electorate wants: They want a free ride/a free lunch, however you want to call it. That means promise them something that does not ask anything of them and that is: I’ll change something (what ever that is) if you basically just contribute a few dollars, come to some of my simple speeches and believe (hope) that things are just going to turn out fine. That way, there is nothing at stake for my electorate, no painful reforms or expected restrictions on anything. In short: make them believe that change is going to come by hope and by my word and will improve the boring lives! It is as simple as that, you had no chance on that front.

See you soon
Best regards and good luck with Bill now,

Barack
PS.: I’ll sure find some vacant spot in my administration. If you wanna get out of the Senate – let me know!
