LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

No matter what Obama does, he’s bashed by the right

President Barack Obama is very intelligent, as are the people he surrounds himself with. One would think that in more than two years Obama and his administration would get it right at least once — but that’s not so, according to leaders in the Republican Party and their mouthpieces on the airwaves.

In his speech to the nation Monday night, the president was criticized by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and associates for using a teleprompter. When is the last time a president, addressing the nation on a critical issue, did not use a teleprompter?

It is an automatic reflex by right-wingers to immediately bash Obama on any action he takes. Limbaugh went as far as describing his speech as pathetic.

The sorry truth is that some of the constant bashing of our president is not a reflection on his ideas as much as it is a reflection on his skin color. Our country has come a long way in learning to accept each other, but many people in our country are not quite ready to go so far as accepting a president who is part African-American.
