Mr. Stephenson Hasn't Been Listening

To the editors,

I really must respond to Jack Stephenson's letter of August 19th. First, Obama has proved, by standing tow-to-tow with Hillary through 20 some debates how well he thinks on his feet. She was great - a good person, a good policy wonk and a good candidate - but the "new kid" stayed with the experienced pro in every way.

Second, readers should get their information on Obama's policy positions from Obama, not Mr. Stephenson or the McCain talking points. Obama does not oppose nuclear, but is cautious, and is out front in his support for wind and solar. And forget that tired tax increase rhetoric unless you're talking about the top 1% who got all the benefit from the Bush tax cuts.

But when Mr. Stephenson goes on about "USA negros" and "WAR" his letter just gets too mixed up and flailing to even try to follow. If Mr. Stephenson thinks Barack Obama lacks substance and his positions lack logic, he just hasn't been listening. Go to his website and catch up.

Anyone still talking about nominating Hillary is actually working for John McCain, the only guy reading from note cards.
