Teachable moments?

To the editor:

With mid-term elections over, and the Republicans granted partial return to power, it could be said that in President Obama’s case, the election was a “teachable moment.”

What the president should have learned is that American voters want the president to be more transparent, focus more on job creation and to refrain from taking pricey junkets around the world.

What American voters should have learned is that “talk is cheap” and “actions speak louder than words.”
