Letter: Yes, It Could Be Worse
In their letter entitled “Can it Get Worse” (CentreView, Oct. 4), Paul and Orene Blum ask a very simple question: “It just can’t get any worse than this … can it?” — referring to President Obama’s actions following the horrific attacks on the American embassy in Libya. My answer to that question is simple — Yes, if Mitt Romney is the next President of the United States it would get much worse.

Given how I feel now, three-plus years later, and considering the results of this most recent scan, the future may simply be what it is: not now, but later.
