...Shoe Is Thrown in Baghdad I couldn't disagree more with what Bobby Ghosh wrote in "The Moment 12/14/08: Baghdad" [Dec. 29]. While I have been unhappy with most of President Bush's decisions, respect for the presidency should count for something.

These days, House Transportation and Infrastructure chairman Oberstar is flacking a Rebuild America plan that pays new respect to transit, but it still puts highways first; you can't expect too much reform from a guy who's served as a staffer or member of Capitol Hill's prime pork committee since 1963, a guy who earmarked a $3 million highway in the last transportation bill to relieve the notorious congestion between County Road 565 in Hoyt Lakes, Minn., and the intersection of Highways 21 and 70 in Babbitt.
