Letters to the Editor

We should insist on cooperation from both parties

Regarding “How Obama won re-election“:

If anyone really wants to know “How Obama won re-election”, they need to look at the two approaches put forth by the candidates. Obama did not run forward and embrace the position that he wasn’t done and there was a lot more to do; he had to adopt that angle because he painted himself into a corner and had to explain his way out.

Romney lost because, quite frankly, he was blowing smoke the entire campaign.

When it was time to cast votes, more voters believed that Obama was more bankable as a candidate that at least owned up to his shortcomings. Fewer voters were willing to buy into Romney’s sales pitch for a product they had to buy before they could get their hands on it.

In the big picture, both parties know they have been sent a message by all voters. Whether or not they have the backbone to face the music and dance is another question. If we the people keep on both parties and insist that they dance together, they just might. If we the people point fingers at each other and call each other names, the dance is over before it even started.
