To the editor:

David Broder should know better (Op-Ed, 7/13). Barack Obama has always
issued nuanced rhetoric, which committed his potential administration to
very little, while providing a certain amount of underlying principle
which the public was free to deduce Obama's policies. The so-called
camouflage decoys, which Broder describes from the Obama campaign, are
nothing of the sort: they simply acknowledge the nuance of past
statements, and promise to provide more details later. Abraham Lincoln
provided exactly this sort of clarification to his own nuance and humor,
but I do not hear Broder complaining much about Lincoln.
