1. This letter to the editor captures the essence

in a nutshell..

To the Editor:

"The contrast between the Obama and Bush administrations could not be greater, as witnessed by the speeches on national security by President Obama and Dick Cheney on Thursday.

Mr. Obama tapped the ideals that once made America the moral inspiration of the world. Mr. Cheney drew his power from fear, suspicion of foreigners and the false comfort offered by authoritarianism.

President Obama appealed to the better angels of our nature. Dick Cheney appealed to the worst."
