In Friday’s Letters to the editor, thoughts on Wednesday night’s presidential debate.
Linda Bowling, of Studio City, found Obama’s manner off-putting:
All we saw was a smirking arrogance and a condescending grin that did nothing to show he had the presence to lead, or even come up with a plausible plan or idea.
Carole Platz, of Arcadia, thought the same of McCain:
If McCain were to be elected president and faced a foreign leader with whom he seriously disagreed, could the American people expect that he would resort to sarcasm and mockery?
The only person who might emerge from all of this (relatively) unscathed, it seems, is Joe the Plumber, to whom Tom McKimmey, of Van Nuys, offers this rhyming bit of advice:
McCain knows a plumber named Joe, Who needs to make great piles of dough.Joe should move to L.A. Where all plumbers make hay,Their accountants keep all taxes low.
Obama and the NRA, a tragic death in Pasadena, and slurs against Muslims, too.
