A warning to Obama

February 14, 2009

Re "Obama the pragmatic idealist," Opinion, Feb. 8

So President Obama was OK with some of his Cabinet nominees avoiding taxes, and being a "pragmatist," he "manfully" changed his tune by saying his only error was misjudging public reaction.

For the record, Mr. President, we the public tend to be against illegal, immoral and unfair behavior in our homes, communities, corporations, in Congress and in the White House.

Please, no more misjudgments of this type.
