Your “Our View” editorial on Jan. 22, titled “Seize this rare opportunity, Mr. Obama,” posed the following question: “Can he learn from his mistakes in his first term and work with a Republican majority in the House?” From where I sit, I suggest that the following question be posed to the Republican majority in the House: “Can you learn from your mistakes in President Obama’s first term and work with him?”
