To the editor:
Millions are unemployed, and there are record federal and state deficits. The CEO scandal was overlooked due to political contributions. There are lies about the Iraq war. Just a month ago President Bush was transferring intelligence officers over weapons of mass destruction misinformation. Just a few weeks ago he was blasting his CIA director about the same problem. Now he is blaming himself for the words he used in a speech.
All the wrong issues are being pushed. Just a month ago his mentor, Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, wanted concealed-weapon holders to carry guns into public libraries and city buildings in Texas. Texans were outraged at this nonsense. I can't imagine another four years of this.
I enjoy your newspaper when visiting relatives in Missouri.
