LETTER
Editor:
Just read the report by Robert Reich… my reaction is, he is
better than this. Yes, he was one of the most far left members of the Clinton
administration but, while I disagreed with his approach often, I was always
impressed with his seriousness. Now, he has entered the swamp of shameful
election utterings.
He was referring to Romney’s comment about the 47%, a casual
comment not deserving a national debate then goes on to question Romney's very reason
for existence. Whether you agree or disagree with Romney, you cannot make a
case for lack of character against a man who has spent his life helping the less fortunate.
We have a world at the precipice of serious upheaval with
the Muslim Caliphate forming in the Middle East, terror attacks on our embassies, the murder
of an ambassador and Iran close to the development of a nuclear weapon yet the
main stream media is concerned about Princess Kate’s sun worshiping and
thirsting over minor misspeaks (or perceived misspeaks).
A free press and statesmen are a good thing, good enough
things that America should give them a try.

Amen. That 47% comment has been twisted around like a pretzel, and all he was saying was that he knew he wouldn't be able to get those particular voters.
People took it to mean he didn't care about those people; he was speaking in a campaign context, that he couldn't "worry" about votes he knew he couldn't take from Obama.
And there are so many bigger fish to fry. This thing in the middle east is getting scarier by the minute, and Obama parties on.....
