I recently wrote a letter to The Times headlined “Hateful” by the editor. It was meant to evoke some inward looking by the Obama haters and perhaps see the hypocrisy of their beliefs and actions.

I am disappointed that I only had four responses and these were by people who profess not to be Obama haters but Obama policy haters, a weak subterfuge. If you are not a “hater,” then why respond? They then repeated all the tired rhetoric of the right wing: half truths, facts pulled out of thin air, outright lies, to the point of nausea.

One respondent evaded the “separation of church and state” issue. For his information, I have read the Constitution and it says that Congress shall pass no law establishing a national religion. In the space I have remaining I list some of the accomplishments of the Obama administration, to date, while dealing with the Party of No in Congress.
