The squabble for the Democratic nomination

Dear Editor,

Sometimes it is difficult to remember that Senators Clinton and Obama are from the same political party and at the nomination-for-presidency stage, and not from opposing political parties running for the presidency itself.

I also find it difficult to suppress the uneasy feeling I have of the unfolding of a John F Kennedy scenario.

I would like to know how Michelle Obama is coping with the pressure and how she really feels about her husband getting the top job.

After all, as First Lady, a lot will be expected of her, all eyes will be on their young family.

It takes a very brave person to name in print certain attorneys/politicians as being “clearly not principled” or “unprincipled”.

For that matter, it is risky to refer to anyone in public life as being “principled”, as the British electorate have recently discovered and many investigative journalists are well aware of.

As the saying goes: ” All is fair in

love and war – and politics.”

Yours faithfully,

Geralda Dennison
