Loose Change

Your article on Obama's first year shows there will always be a lunatic fringe that thinks with their heart and not their head. [

“Oba-Meh,” WW, Jan. 20, 2010

Even though he is now more unpopular than Richard Nixon in his first year, I have no doubt that there will always be a teeny bopperlike group that carries a crush for Obama. Let's face it, liberals are too emotionally immature to lead, and electing Obama proves it.

You had a chance to elect the first woman president, and getting eight more years of Clinton—a proven brand and something conservatives could have stomached. But the misogynists in the party squashed that idea at the convention, instead going for a Harvard-tongued Soros-backed neophyte in a misguided quest to turn America into France. Cap-and-trade was a swing and a miss, socialist health care was strike two, Obama is not going to hit the home run you hoped for, and the best you can hope for is a walk, resembling something pathetic like a reenactment of the Carter years.

Your article is right on one point: The president is only one person. We asked for change, and instead what we got was Pelosi unhinged. Come November, the voters will rectify the mistake of one-party government and our economy can get back on its feet. Mass. proved the system works, it's morning in America again.
