Dear Mr. President,
The previous president was afraid of a four foot tall octagenarian named Helen Thomas, so he stopped calling on her during press conferences.
So when you hold your first prime time press conference tomorrow night, don't forget to call on Helen first.
Also, at the end, make sure she's allowed to say, "Thank you, Mr. President!"
Traditions are important, and this is one that ought to be resurrected.
Cheers,
Bob
