Re Tom Robbins’s ‘Obama Time’ [August 29?September 4]: Contrary to what Bob Healy said to Robbins about Obama, this is not Obama’s time.Democrats would be foolish to nominate Obama, who is a sure loser. Obama supporters like Healy look at Obama through rose-colored glasses. He does not have the charisma or personal appeal to overcome being inexperienced, black, and with a Muslim name and heritage. If Obama is the Democratic nominee, the Democrats would lose all 50 states. And as someone who lived in Brooklyn for 58 years, I can assure you that he is not going to win Brooklyn either. Brooklyn is Clinton country, whether Robbins likes it or not.
