Dear Barack

I don't think I am being presumptuous in addressing you so informally - after all, this is the first time a US president has been born after me, so I assumed the privilege of age.

Hey, superstars don't sport honorifics. Madonna? Maradona? They'd sound funny with a Ms or Mr as a prefix. And they've never bothered with a suffix.

And you've even been endorsed by none other than Daniel Craig, who says you would make a better 007. So here's a chance to smash another racial barrier: A Black Bond.
