London
(ANI):
U2
singer
Bono
has
offered
his
piece
of
advice
on
making
the
world
a
better
place
in
an
open
letter
to
President
Barack
Obama.
Along
with
placing
his
trust
in
the
judgement
of
the
first
African-American
President
of
the
United
States,
the
anti-poverty
campaigner
mentioned
some
of
the
troubling
issues
facing
the
American
people,
reports
the
Sun.
The
letter
read:
MR.
PRESIDENT,
Barack.
Every
room
I
have
ever
been
in
with
you
was
a
much
easier
room
for
your
presence.
It's
rare
to
meet
a
person
like
you,
where
intellect
and
intuition
make
such
a
perfect
rhyme.
Your
intuition
tells
you
that
the
well-being
of
the
American
people,
spiritually
as
well
as
physically,
is
connected
with
America's
role
in
the
world.
I
know
you
know
that
the
prosperity
of
your
fellow
Americans,
though
hard
fought,
is
less
fulfilling
knowing
there
is
so
much
more
that
can
be
done
to
alleviate
poverty
and
suffering
in
the
developing
world.
You
know
that
less
than
one
per
cent
of
government
income
as
a
contribution
from
the
world's
richest
economy
to
the
world's
poorest
is
not
a
fair
tithe
even
in
times
like
these,
which
is
why
you
have
promised
to
double
foreign
assistance.
As
with
our
own
personal
sojourn,
so
it
is
with
country
and
community
we
discover
who
we
are
in
service
to
others.
I
know
your
intellect
has
weighed
up
the
evidence
on
how
effective
American
tax
dollars
are,
when
converted
into
smart,
targeted,
focused
aid.
Putting
children
into
school
where
they
can
think
freely
of
freedom.
Giving
farmers
on
the
parched
land
seed
varieties
that
double
the
size
of
their
crop
yields.
Giving
mothers
20
cent
immunisations
to
protect
their
newborns
from
the
deadly
viruses
they
pass
on
through
childbirth.
I
know
your
intellect
has
taken
in
the
data
and
seen
the
analysis
on
the
transforming
power
of
effective
aid
in
places
where
the
US
flag
is
currently
not
one
smiled
at.
I
know
you
know
how
much
cheaper
it
is
to
make
friends
of
potential
enemies
than
to
defend
yourself
at
a
later
date.
I
know
you
know
all
this
stuff.
My
prayer
for
you
is
that
your
instinct
and
intellect
stay
in
harmony
in
the
difficult
months
and
triumphant
years
ahead.
