To the Editor:

This is in response to Kevin Rooney’s long-winded essay in the May 10 edition. I am an Independent, so I am not partial to either the Republicans or the Democrats.

I do know that we have a very outspoken president. Sometimes I agree with him and sometimes I don’t. And maybe his being so outspoken is what gets him into trouble at times, but maybe that’s just what this country needed after all. I don’t think he was elected to have “politics as usual.”
