Unforgivable Insult To Bobby Fischer!

A writer named James Fallows has written a piece for the Atlantic magazine entitled, Obama as Chess Master: 'Think of Him as Bobby Fischer'
(http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/08/obama-as-chess-master-think-of-him-as-bobby-fischer/243139/)
This is a blatant insult to the departed World Champion!
There is a picture of the man who wrote the article on the webpage given above with the following: "James Fallows - James Fallows is a national correspondent for The Atlantic and has written for the magazine since the late 1970s. He has reported extensively from outside the United States, and once worked as President Carter's chief speechwriter."
Mr. Fallows obviously knows very little about chess and even less about the greatest chess player of all time, Bobby Fischer!
I hereby call on this ignoramus to retract 'Bobby Fischer' from the title and to apologize IMMEDIATELY to all chess players, not only living, but to those players who respected Bobby Fischer and have now 'left the board' as well.
