"I didn't know we had so many people who felt qualified to criticize the content of a poem. I think Ms Alexander made an admirable job trying to capture the mood of the country and to include everyone she could. "

It seems strange that you expect us to suspend our critical functions, and then feel that you are in a superior position and thus able to apply criticism yourself (all in one sentence).
Or are you unaware that criticism is not always negative?
