Letter to Mr. Kristoff

Dear Mr. Kristoff

I didn’t really like your article “Obama and the War on Brains.” You have written a lot of negative aspects of the past presidents of the United States. Also you mentioned that that most of the Americans by saying most of them believe in flying saucers and evolution. You can’t prove that that one fifth of Americans believe that the sun orbits around the Earth. Where your data come from? Furthermore, you criticize the past presidents to make Mr. Obama stand out from the rest. However, I agree with you that even though the president might be very intellectual, it’s not guaranteed that he will perform well being the leader of the nation. I’m not saying that Mr. Obama is will be ineffective as president, he will be much better than Mr. Bush. I guess… I’m also hopeful that his fertile mind will set a tone for America and do something about the greatest economic problem which is happening right now.

Great response! You expressed valid concerns, and ask some good questions. I like how you begin with negatives and end with positives--very diplomatic.
