Simple questions, with incalculable depths: how should we change the way we teach our kids? How can we break from the schooling religion that is punishing our nation? Or: how can we better equip our youth to empathize and identify with the social and moral order of the universe, so that they can then go forward and help others do the same?

Will you consider involving the NRA and its members in an effort to curb gun violence, before pushing a ban on certain guns? Will you do this for any controversial legislation - get those who are most vocal against it to come up with an alternate solution?

You blamed Bush and McCain for the economy, unemployment, and falling incomes and said McCain would be "more of the same" and that your election would mean a quick fix to these problems AND you would fix health care, give tax breaks, and give tax credits for job creation. In your victory speech you said we had a "steep climb" ahead of us and we might not see results in a year or even four years. How do you reconcile these things to those who think this is proof that you said anything to win?

Mr President,

I was wondering if The First Lady will be hiring a wardrobe advisor, and if so, iwill there be a website set up for potential cnadidates to submit photos of themselves and ideas? I am thinking of my good friend as the wardrobe advisor and myself as the wardrobe advisors assistant ps my 15yo daughter would be available to help with schoolwork babysit etc.

With highest gratitue, respect, and blessings,

Your humble servant,(to be)
