THE CLUTCH PRESIDENT

So, we learn that our President can’t walk out in a baseball stadium for fear of being booed. (“The Clutch President,” July 14).

Little wonder. As the story says, “Some might look at America’s cities, with their tens of thousands of homeless people, decaying hospitals and failing schools, and declare that a crisis exists at home.”

Wake up and smell the clipped infield, Mr. President.
