...while ethics in politics is an important cause, it pales in comparison to that of health-care reform. While it would be nice if our politicians played by the same tax rules as the rest of the public, an improper tax return has never caused a death. A failure to mention a source of income has never kept medicine from the sick. By sinking the nomination of a man who had by far the best chance of enacting a fair and equitable health-care system in the United States, supposed liberals like the New York Times editorial board may have...
...managed to shut down or sharply curtail service on most Tube lines, it caused chaos at airports, and it halted London's entire fleet of red buses. As disgruntled commuters were quick to point out, unlike today, buses continued running throughout intensive aerial bombardment during World War II. That comparison resonated with one elderly supermarket stock boy in an affluent London suburb.

...your cover almost every issue of late [Jan. 26]. The dramatic picture of him gazing into the distance has him looking almost perfect and untouchable. It is not that I am against Obama; I support him. But you compare him and his "burden" to other Presidents when the comparison should not even be made yet. Everyone loved George W. Bush when he was elected President, but now look at the poor fellow. He is hated by more than two-thirds of America. Obama is a great man and all, but I think we should wait to celebrate...
