Editor,

I cannot believe you would publish such an ugly (political cartoon) characterization of Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell. Do you still think any opposition to President Obama must be racist?

If you have a problem with him blocking an Obama nominee at this time in Obama’s presidency, you might take a look back eight years.

Then, it was Democratic Sen. Schumer who said he would recommend blocking any Bush nominee for the Supreme Court in Bush’s last 18 months.

McConnell appears to be following a precedent set in a previous administration by a Democratic Senator — so, you can blame Bush.
