Dear Mr.  Obama:  President of the Almighty USA,

In the auspice of your visit to my country (Thailand) in November B.E. ๒๕๕๕, I would like to beg for an opportunity to inform you as follows:


1)  It’s true through the decades, even centuries, that we two countries have been long good friends; but isn’t it even more true that the US has gotten more, much more, benefit from TH than we’ve gotten from the US.  I hope that your historic visit will correct those collective injustices that your forefathers had done to our country.  By so doing you can help  put our mutual  relationships on an equal basis without any hidden agendas as before and this will be a voluntarily meritorious deeds of yours and all the American people.  In short, please don’t take any advantage  of the stupidity, or the lack of information, or the acceptance of bribes from our notoriously corrupted  government.


2)  The USA has been and still is the superpower of the world; I do believe. But by the artificial economy of “money can by all” that your country has wrongly  been misguided and have been trying to spread this ideology to the rest of  the world (helped in parts by the pride of winning the Cold War over the Communists) the heading is in the wrong direction which needs a severe correction before the USA will lead the World (under your direction) toward the Economic Armageddon.  I would strongly recommend that you  heed King Bhumiphol’s  advices  on Sufficiency Economy which is a way out of this economic mess that your predecessors have invented.


3)  I understand that your visit to Thailand is one of a standard international political protocols to maximize your country’s  benefit which  is legitimate and I won’t blame you for this. But please be informed that your cherished political values are vastly different from your  TH  counterpart that you are visiting. You have come this far mostly by your own individual ability, despite the myriad handicaps that have had imposed on your race. While your TH counterpart came to power with a snap of fingers  from the one that I hope you knew equally  well as the rest of the Thai intelligentsias. You might think that, by dealing with a low-intelligent leader of a country like this,  it is a great opportunity to negotiate a deal that will greatly benefit the USA. But I would like to forewarn you that according to the principle of Buddhism (the main religion of Thai people) everything is interconnected in an intertwined ways.  Your gains today may turn out to be your lost in a near future. Just simply look at Nixon’s travel to China to help modernize China in order to oppose the Russian. That was so clever in helping the USA to win the Cold War. But now China’s economy, thanks to Nixon, is threatening the very economic infrastructure of the USA. So much so that you have to visit Thailand in order to “play your card” to help alleviate the trend.


4)  You are a rare historic leader of the USA and the world  and this is your last term and last chance. Please don’t waste your incredible potential and your unique position in Humandkind’s history to help save the world. Missing this opportunity, you might be sorry for the rest of your life--like Jimmy Carter. Humanity is far more lofty in idealism  than economy, money, pride to be number one, be first to go remote stars, etc.


5)   PS.  When I  had the power to do everything, I didn’t have the time to think nor listen. When I had the time to think and listen, I didn’t have the power to do anything.  ..................(please don’t let this to become the epitaph on your tomb’s stone. )


Truthfully Yours,

...KonThangThang  (Nov ๑๘, ๒๕๕๕)
