In Thursday’s Letters to the editor, readers respond to Tom Daschle’s withdrawal of his nomination for secretary of Health and Human Services. Tommy Cheng, of Torrance, sums up the general feeling expressed by letter writers to The Times:
Regarding the questionable nominations of Tom Daschle, Nancy Killefer, Bill Richardson and Timothy F. Geithner, to name a few: This is the ‘change’ and ‘more ethical administration’ that President Obama promised? Unfortunately, it’s politics as usual, despite the media and many Americans making our new president out to be perfect. Try vetting your nominees better, Mr. President.
More thoughts on Billy the elephant, octuplets, and rehabilitating ex-cons, too.
