Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Barack Obama, honeymoon killer? The Clintonites in his Cabinet, forgiveness for Lieberman, the creeping signs of centrism -- progressives aren't ready to panic, yet.
  • Smartest sumbitch

    Obama did not run as a liberal, nor as a progressive, nor as a socialist that only lives in the wet dreams of the left behind right.

    What Barak Obama promised me was to be smarter and less compromised than Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton, who thought they were required to run as not-quite-racist Republican substitutes in order to get elected.

    Except for possibly that other Senator from Illinois, and maybe that 5-star general from Kansas, we have never had a President who came from nothing but smarts.

    Have faith, people.
