To the Editor:
    David Brooks sketches two unsatisfactory scenarios. In one, president Obama is re-elected but is hamstrung by a Republican-dominated House. In the other, Mitt Romney is elected and spends his term fighting with a Democrat-dominated Senate.  But of course we, the people aren't constrained to pick from Mr. Brooks' menu. If we were to re-elect president Obama and put Democratic majorities in both houses of congress, we could actually, finally get the CHANGE we voted for four years.
