“The letters … have a real doom and gloom tone about them. We’ll defer printing letters critical of the President-elect until he actually does something. For example, cabinet selections are fair game for critical analysis. His experience as a community organizer is no longer relevant. Letters expressing opinions on his plan to repeal presidential executive orders will be accepted. But predictions of his secret agenda to rewrite the Second Amendment are not. It just doesn’t seem to be productive or constructive criticism to rehash the anti-Obama talking points now that the nation has voted. I’m sure there will be plenty of opportunity to criticize him as he starts making decisions. We’ll even accept the ‘I told you so’ letters then.” (11/16/08)
