Dear Senator Obama:

I think the idea of your candidacy is really cool. You bring a refreshing excitement and persona into the race for President of the United States, and you have the strength to bring an entire new generation into the political process. For that I salute you.

That said, one little tiny piece of advice: it might be even cooler if you could avoid flipping off your opponent.

PS: If you persist in your aspiration to be a bird-flipping President, just go ahead and do it right, like George Bush does.
