Mr. President: One of your own supporters said long ago, "It's the economy, stupid." Remember this in November, when you are blaming everyone but yourself for the Democrats' crushing defeat.

I'm getting so tired of people saying that 70 percent of kids in Wichita come from low-income families. I just can't believe that figure. Why do we have to feed all these kids?
