Mr. Gitell is just whistlng in the wind when he carps about Obama's lack of debating skills. I've been in politics for over 50 years in scores of grass roots campaigns, and, in my view, what Obama is saying will resonate well with the voters. The future of this country is not in the crafty politicians who see themselves as leaders, but in the people, particuarly that huge wellspring of those of us who are fed up with the political rhetoric and practical inaction of our elected officials who seem to have only one agenda: getting themselves re-elected.

The Howard Beale Memorial Society has a message for our present crop of office holders: Turn the Rascals Out, and the Sooner the Better. Get Mad! Fight Back! Save America!! Check out www.networkcentralca.net and learn how to flush out our political sewers.
