A Message for Obama

 

It took a UK newspaper to start a Flickr pool of advice for Obama from normal citizens, US and otherwise.

Now the Guardian's inspiration is  pictorial book of dreams, ideas, fears, etc., via Blurb. Coffeetable-worthy and judging by some Flickr commentary, a rather well-anticipated one at that. 

As Obama moves from hopeful to president-elect to guy working the job, it'll be interesting to see how the messages will change.

For self-sufficiency and self-amusementry, this illustrated book has 11 chapters: Make, Eat, Drink, Style, Love, Nest, Grow, Thrive, Go, Survive, and Wow. Brought to you by The Curiosity Shoppe.

500 how-tos, enough for even the most accomplished know-it-all to get a little something. 

Who knows, you master the art of drinking from a boot and get the gumption to do what all. 

Yes we can!
