To the editor:

This article is pointedly for people on the fence regarding our local and national election.

If you did not tune in to the DNC to hear former President Bill Clintons speech nominating President Barack Obama for a second term, you missed a great opportunity to hear facts you have been wondering about. He enumerated point by point the things Obama has been able to get done, at least up until a couple of years ago when he had to contend with a power struggle from — and this is my opinion — a bunch of Republican bullies sent to Washington from dissatisfied voters who thought our economy, etc. could be turned around overnight.
