Dear Mr. Kristof,
Hello, I'm a big fan of your open letter that published on November 14,2008. The title of the letter is "Obama and the War on Brains". It was a joyful piece of writing, which is kind of bias but I can totally make connection to it. For me, Obama is so far a great pigmentary leader that is not as fake as the previous president that likes to camouflage himself. But for one point, I don't agree with you, it is when you said: "Thoughtfulness is portrayed as wimpishness, and careful deliberation is for sisses." Actually, it is up side down to me. I think that thoughtfulness and careful deliberation are essential for a successful leader.
Also, as you claim that Obama and Emperor Nero is comparable, which you claim that smart people don't have a great record in power, that is your own opinion, because Obama needs time to show his own talent. We shouldn't judge people in their first apperence.
It is very nice to connect with you, hope to interview you face to face.
Great day!
Best Rg.
Stephanie

Interesting that you enjoyed his editorial. Be careful with "pigmentary"--he used it ironically, and it can be offensive. As for his comment about thoughtfullness, do you think he may have been using sarcasm there? His essay has quite a bit of irony in it which may be difficult to pick out.
