The letter from Phyllis Hyatt (June 29) is nothing more than a right-wing commercial. Her language, using the president’s middle name/the teleprompter diatribe and implication that he has no brains, sounds like a talking point sheet from Rush, Glenn or Fox News.

Yes, Phyllis, he is the chosen one, chosen by a majority of the voters in 2008, and it must really stick in your craw that he was elected, because your letter just drips of hatred. I don’t know if he should have been playing golf anymore than if it was right for President Bush to stay on vacation during Katrina. Presidents are busy people and deserve a little down time.

Whatever happened to the party out of power being the loyal opposition? Congress used to be people with different views and ideas who had in common the overall good of the country.

Now it seems that the right wing thinks that no one can govern but them. I hope you realize how dangerous that mindset can be. Dictators think no one can be in charge but themselves.
