Do your thing, Mr. Obama

In meetings with world leaders in times of conflict, remind them of the futility of hate and lead them to hope that their divisions can be overcome.

In your conversations with Americans in times of fear, reassure them that Government of the People will protect them and advance their common good.

In your national leadership on the U.S. Food Policy issues covered in this blog, well..., er..., try not to flunk. Our expectations for you in this area are low and reasonable.

If you do your thing well, Mr. Obama, we'll still be grateful.
