Fascinating exhibition here, Ahmad! Such sage advice would benefit anyone, I would say, especially someone like the new president of the U.S. I won't delve into politics, but I appreciate what you have done here, sir! We stand at the threshold of our new design every day as long as we utilize and engage our own thoughts on what we wish to achieve. I hope the change ahead shall be for the better; I will endeavor to shape my world for the better regardless. Warm regards, John.

These 'Dos' and 'Don'ts' will take one to the goal of a successul life. A very nice poem.

Ahmad, this is utterly a poem of inspiration - not only for the president, but also to all of us. A striking poem coming from an inspiring someone...

This is a very nice poem and I'm sure President Obama will be pleased. The United States and other countries are going through a tremendous 'process' that involves a more 'collective' understanding. Those who speak of political affiliations of the past are to be traumaticized with tomorrow's changes. A nice poem.

Ahmad, thank you from the bottom of my heart for this thoughtful and right-on tribute to our new President. To think that in my lifetime I would have the golden opportunity to share in a lessening of the predominant-so it seemed-White Supremist majority was something I did not expect. Socialism, capitalism, right-wing/left-wing is not the issue. It's time for the old separatism: labeling of parties/philosophies to disappear. To combine and infuse what is good for all people, our country, other countries should be the focus and the work plan. I believe Obama can do that. Most importantly, as you so beautifully wrote, it won't be easy and every single human must help, be patient and be open to new possibities through civil discourse. Let's finally let our highly evolved brains function without fear, killing, need for superiorty and reach out and see that we are all the same with the same needs. Stop killing animals, too. If we are the 'top of the order', why are we cruelly slaughtering, justifying the eating of flesh? Ahmad, yes, get this to Obama. You are a man of many talents, as we all know. Now, I think we can say that you should be a member of Obama's governing committee. True insight! ! ! My best, Carol

I did not vote for Mr. Obama mostly because of his politcal philosophy and party affiliation, which is the liberal democratic party. My personal political philosophy is the opposite of any party which espouses socialism in any form. That does not mean he will not make a good president, for he is an intelligent man and I respect him for that. Your poem, though a bit too long and repetitive, is a good tribute to him just the same. It is always interesting to see what people in other countries of the world think about our presidents or leaders. Carl.

Ahmad - this is a wonderful piece of both tribute and encouragement to the newcomer in American politics - and surely this would be well received if sent to the White House.... you mention the inspiration too - and Whitman being a favourite with many Americans will be am added incentive. Think about it - it has appealed most movingly to me and no doubt will to others on P.H.....Well done, and best wishes from Fay.
