Dear Abby, I mean, Dear Barack: Letters to an Incoming President

Between advice from the current U.S. President, to higher-ups in the now-ruling Democratic party, U.S. President-Elect Barack Obama has everyone's two cents to sift through. Even yours.

Pop!Tech recently teamed up with Reuters as part of its effort to compile thoughts from people worldwide. Readers from all over the world, from Sydney to Baghdad, have chimed in with their video “postcards,” delivered via Youtube. The broadcasts thus far have been intriguing, to say the least; pictured above is the thought-provoking postcard from Nairobi. A reader from Beijing recommends that Obama should work to increase understanding about Chinese culture and issues among the American public. A denizen of Moscow hopes for more friendly relations between the U.S. and Russia. A British citizen offers his support, with the words, “Good luck, Mr. Obama. It’s a tough job ahead but the British people are behind you.”

The messages reflect hopes for a more peaceful future. So, what are you waiting for?
