p> ONE MORE THING br> Re: George Neumayr's By Obama We Were Saved : /p>

Mr. Neumayr accuses Senator Obama of offering bogus hope and false promise. (Is it he alone who does this, do you think?)

But be assured that Hillary the policy witch cannot expose Obama's limitations by dragging him back to earth. Recall what happened when she said that Dr. King had the dream, but Lyndon Johnson delivered the goods. There was muttering, outrage and thunder; there was insurrection and the smell of sulfur; dogs formed into packs.

You don't seduce the public by making them read the fine print. They don't want to hear the facts from Lyle H. Barnstable, the shy fellow with a bachelor's degree in Urban Planning and a master's in Sincere. They want to be hugged by L. Harold ("Honest Harvey") Barnstable, the workingman's friend, democracy's last hope.

p>The only serious question about Dr. Obama's proposed new deal is this: Does he believe his own flapping gums? Is his hot air delivered willfully, or is it inspired by the fact that he doesn't know what such promises inspired during the 20th century? Are we watching a naif stumble into the spotlight, or is a child prodigy tickling the hicks as they have not been tickled since FDR died? br> -- Edmund Dantes br> Coshocton, Ohio /p> p>
