Scattershooting

• Mr. Stodola (Letters June 14): If President Obama (June 9) “… is working night and day to solve ever-worsening problems,” explain the Obamas’ dinner and a show on Manhattan Island and/or Paris? 

• Lainey Black (May 24): Prefer Mr. Cheney’s “I told you so,” rather than expressing his reservations now about Obama’s relaxing policies that kept us safe? 

• Mr. Poe: The “power of the X-ray” factor must have been a CT or CAT scan the bean counter at the HMO wouldn’t authorize for me. Cervical surgery using only an ordinary X-ray going in is a malpractice suit waiting to happen. 

• Mr. Rose (June 7): “I have never felt more freedom than what President Obama has done and will do for us.” You’ve been seduced by the ultra-liberal mantra that Uncle Sugar will take care of you from the womb to the tomb. 

• Jervis Underwood (June 6): I would have set the recorder, slept in, then viewed President Obama read to the world what his teleprompter was telling him to say. Waking up at 5 a.m. for that live was something, I guess. 

• Sharon Dahl (April 3): “We paid Canadian income tax and lived with the horror of socialized medicine.” Please write a letter and enlighten the Garner types (May 22) on this forum what they’re really in for. 

• Mr. McClelland (June 7): “... the millions of people in this country who cannot afford basic health care. …” Yet $180 a month for Marlboros and $30 a month for candy? 

It must be that “womb to the tomb” thingy again.

Census error

The Census Bureau is wrong when it lumps all South Americans together as a “race.” Just because South Americans speak Spanish does not mean that they are all one “race.”
