To the Editor:
“No drama Obama” reflects the character of a politician who does not “self-promote” very well, and whose relatively quiet voice has often been drowned out by the yammering chorus of anti-Obama reactionary Republican loudmouths and political media types. While Mr. Obama relied on being measured and thoughtful and appealed to logic and intellect, certain Republicans knew that their 2016 candidate would have to be loud, bellicose and intellectually monochromatic. I suspect “Missing Barack?” bumper stickers will eventually begin to appear, and perhaps we’ll be thinking, as Joni Mitchell wrote, that “you don’t know what you’ve got ’till it’s gone.”

Note from KBJ: Reading this and other letters in today's New York Times made me think that I had gone down the rabbit hole with Alice. Who are these people who think that Barack Hussein Obama has been a good president? He is by far the worst president of my lifetime, and maybe the worst ever. Complete and utter incompetence, topped off by smugness, thuggishness, and narcissism. I consider him little more than a clown. A dangerous clown, to be sure (for nine more months), but a clown nonetheless.
