LETTERS: Fascination surrounding Obama is merely hype
- The initial aura radiated by Barack Obama gave off the impression that he didn’t really know who he was or what he stood for. He resembled a feather caught up in a whirlwind, after which he carefully magnetized himself in order to draw the support of the public on every major issue.

- Bostwick forgets his job duties
Shoppers’ generosity essential to feeding area hungry
- In regards to the July 25 and 27 editorials that were written about Sen. Ulysses Currie (D-25) I would like to provide some clarity regarding his relationship with the Capital Area Food Bank. (“Currie deals in private? No way,” July 25 and “Good cause, bad governance,” July 27) Before Sen. Currie joined the food bank’s board, our executive committee and general counsel contacted the Maryland Legislative Ethics Committee. The ethics committee approved the decision to nominate Sen. Currie to the board of directors. They further stated that legislators are actually encouraged to be on local boards to better understand the needs of their local communities. Only after receiving this information did we move forward with the nomination.
Charm City not so charming - one mariner's less-than-welcoming experience
- “When people come here, they’re very pleasantly surprised. They enjoy the city, and they want to come back.” This was Mayor Sheila Dixon as quoted in The Examiner cover story on July 13. (“Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon navigates political maelstrom,” July 13) Ms. Dixon also said that “we need to do a better job marketing the city,” presumably to introduce all that it has to offer to potential visitors.

Libraries need to adapt to thrive
- I read with interest the July 7 article, “Baltimore-area libraries adapt and thrive, despite economy.” The article is correct in noting that library systems need to actively work to maintain and enhance their relevance within the neighborhoods they serve. I believe, with the advent of the Internet and electronic books, libraries need to find ways to continue to remain “first choice destinations” for their communities.
