Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Criticisms, political pressure and Barack Obama The president-elect's advisors respond to the firestorm created by Sunday's remarks on Guantanamo, illustrating the value of criticizing Obama when he deserves it.
  • The same will apply to the economy

    Obama has also indicated that he might respond to pressure when it comes to the reinvigoration of the federal government as an agent for stimulating the economy. Axelrod suggesting that Congress won't be a potted plant in response to progressive criticisms of the tax cut portion of the stimulus package indicates that. Watching the shifting of the ratio of tax to spending on infrastructure, health etc., will be telling. It will move in the progressive direction only with more pressure. Glenn, as usual, has the template right.
