PRESIDENTIAL FASTBALLS br> Re: John Tabin’s Tone Poems : /p> p>Mr. Tabin got it mostly right. I especially like to watch the snide White House press corps to see who, in solemn tone, will manage to ask the most vacuous and inane question. It’s always a toss-up. Why watch “American Idol” when you can get the updated version of the “Ted Mack Amateur Hour”? But seriously, since the MSM will not give serious discussion to the issues and all that the cable channels care about is who scored political points, it’s incumbent upon the President get above the din and make his case, which he did rather forcefully. Frankly, we need more prime-time press conferences, if for no other reason than I can at least avoid watching the lackluster Yankees drop another one, while doing my civic duty. br> — Anthony F. DiPentima br> Connecticut /p> p> When the President has lost my wife on his quest to begin the healing of Social Security, as he has, he has probably lost the battle. Hearing Juan Williams comment Sunday morning that W has the right idea is enough to cement her opinion that the President must be wrong. The road will no doubt get bumpier from here on out. br> — Roger Ross br> Tomahawk, Wisconsin /p>
