COMMENTARY By PEGGY NOONAN: "I don't see how the President's position and popularity can survive the oil spill. This is his third political disaster in his first 18 months in office. And they were all, as they say, unforced errors, meaning they were shaped by the president's political judgment and instincts. There was the tearing and unnecessary war over his health-care proposal and its cost. There was his day-to-day indifference to the views and hopes of the majority of voters regarding illegal immigration. And now the past almost 40 days of dodging and dithering in the face of an environmental calamity. I don't see how you politically survive this." ======= "It is tragic that so many people don’t have adequate housing, education and health care. Yet these problems are systemic and not simply a result of individual choices. The cause and solutions are much larger than shaking our heads at people who have a few drinks or smokes to deal with the madness and injustice in this world." - Tony Newman, New York, NY ===== "In the longer run, the price of giving food, alcohol and tobacco companies veto power over health-related tax policies is increasing rates of diabetes, heart disease and cancer and the costs these diseases impose on our health care system." - Nicholas Freudenberg, New York, NY
