Mr Lensis's letter defended Limbaugh's comment that he wants Obama to fail.

He wanted Obama's policies to fail — which can only mean that the U.S. would go into a depression! And contrary to what you said — I have listened to Rush. I first started listening years ago when he first hit the air waves. Being analytical in nature and a talk radio/news junkie it didn't take long before I noticed that Rush was not quite telling the whole story on many things. He routinely takes statements out of context to push his radical right-wing spin on things.

To Ms. Kraft who wonders what Mr. Maxcy has been doing the last 2-16 years? He's been doing his part in helping to cut the millage and the unemployment rates, both of which were higher when he took office. He has been doing everything he could to help to make this a better county to live in along with the other four commissioners. You do realize that there are five of them that vote on things? May I ask what you have been doing these last two years? Have you been attending the meeting or committee meetings to help understand the goings on in our local government? ...more
