Maybe a singing contest with a background of bombs falling on Syria and Iraq and Afghanistan, and Yemen, just to add further elements of contradiction could be organised.
Where, before the melodic curtain is let fall, a duet of same two songs in both languages is heard where the two presidents try to outdo each other in graceful delivery with a backing of their supporters in national dress behind them, the undecided in the middle.
Toward the end of the video the camera swings over and into the vast audience all singing in their own languages and the cacophony is broadcast world-wide to every place.
There, across the entire world the various medias can rebroadcast the so-initiated local singing event back into the medley of newscasts where everyone can also engage in this happy event.
Eventually, the musical empathy fades leaving a ground swell of sound bites and clips from all of the places in the world where bombs are falling and people are shooting each other can loom large before the world’s peoples glued to their television sets.
Last scene, Obama and Putin swaying together singing their different songs in harmonic disarray.
