Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
David Brooks sees a dark future ahead for some supporters of Barack Obama.
  • Did anyone actually read the editorial?

    Brooks is fairly generous to Obama and his supporters:

    "But the fact that they can share this dream still means something. After the magic fades and reality sets in, they still know something about his soul, and he knows something about theirs. They figure that any new president is going to face gigantic obstacles. At least this candidate seems likely to want to head in the right direction. Obama’s hype comes from exaggerating his powers and his virtues, not faking them."

    Come on, folks. Don't be so eager to flip out. The overreaction by some of the supporters of Obama on this board does more to damage the legitimacy of his candidacy than anything Brooks says in the editorial.
