It&#8217;s a big breath of fresh air regarding the Kansas power plant veto. My family, friends, neighbors and I say thank you again, Kathleen Sebelius.</p><p><p align="right"><strong>David Miller</strong></p> <p align="right">Prairie Village</p> Obama&#8217;s lament: &#8220;Jeremiah was my pastor, was a good friend of mine. Never understood a single word he said, listen to me whine.&#8221;</p><p><p align="right"><strong>Bill Bottomley</strong></p> <p align="right">Kansas City</p> I thought it was a little bit ironic that in the April 29 issue of The Star (A1) where parents were talking about the Miley Cyrus pictures, one parent&#8217;s comments were that they had 14- and 17-year-old daughters, and they would murder them if they did that. It amazed me that someone would make that statement in reference to their daughters for posing topless. It seems a little bit out of kilter to me.</p><p><p align="right"><strong>Lane Sekavec</strong></p> <p align="right">De Soto</p> I thought prostitution was illegal in the United States. So how do our oil companies get away with $3.50 to $4 for a gallon of gas and then have the audacity to announce their billion dollar profits when all of America is beginning to suffer from their shameful abuse? They are a bigger crisis to our economy than the police action in Iraq. Don&#8217;t they realize they are the main reason for all the inflated costs we citizens are now facing? And as for Iraq, we kicked their ass, so why can&#8217;t we take their gas?</p><p><p align="right"><strong>Stan Glazer</strong></p> <p align="right">Mission</p> I am so glad Barack Obama finally distanced himself from the hate-spewing Jeremiah Wright. Finally he can focus on the real message of change.</p><p><p align="right"><strong>George Allan Jr.</strong></p> <p align="right">Kansas City</p>
