‘Scary’ Portrait of a President in Dire Times

To the Editor:

Re “No Rallies and No Golf, Just the TV to Rankle Him” (White House Memo, front page, April 24):

In a time when the paper is full of scary stories, this is one of the scariest. It is a devastating portrait of the president: glum and vindictive, unfocused, out of touch, watching TV constantly, and hoping idiotically for miracle cures. And worse, the president is apparently out of sorts because he can’t play golf.

No other president, Democratic or Republican, would have looked at this crisis in this way. Every previous president would have risen to the challenge: some better than others, but no one I can think of would have done so little to help the American people in their time of greatest need.

I hope that Americans all over the country will remember this come November and that we will finally be rid of this cynical, childish, incompetent, cruel man, the worst president in the history of our country.
