Why Do We Love Advising Presidents-Elect?

Freakonomics, asked the question on the title to its readers. The question was put as follows:
“Everyone seems to have advice for President-elect Obama these days: physicists, economists, Willie Nelson — even Freakonomics commenters are getting in on the act.
Why are we always so eager to advise new presidents? Rarely do new congressmen, major league sports coaches, and corporate executives generate the same flood of unsolicited advice. So why are we so eager to share our ideas about how the president should govern?”

And so many people suggested a possible answer. One of these answers was so appealing that I decided to use it for Friday Night. Here is his/her answer:

“ I’m so glad you asked, for I know the answer.
Very simply, we all feel we have great ideas that, for one reason or another, never get a hearing outside the barber shop or coffee shop.
……..I have ideas all the time (as does everyone, I imagine). Yet there is often no real place to get them heard–or at least no where that can actually put those ideas in motion…….”

Questions: We all will agree that many Eritreans have great ideas about how to tackle the problems their country is facing. What do they do to share their ideas? And who advices the president?
