Re "Now, let's turn to impeachment" (Monitor letter, Allison Wimmer, Nov. 12):

Aren't you jumping the gun a little with your praise for Barack Obama? He hasn't done anything yet! Oh wait, he made a bunch of promises during his campaign! Gee, no politician has ever done that before! Why don't you make a list of all the "change" he promises, put it someplace where you won't lose it, then review it four years from now.

As for your comments about the purpose of the war on terrorism being to make President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney wealthy: Nice going, you just slapped the face of every person in the military who interrupted or sacrificed his or her own life because they wanted to help make a difference.
