Letters to the Editor: Role of veterans

Ninety years ago President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 Armistice Day in order to commemorate the end of World War I and the veterans who served in it.

Thank you President Obama for your great economic leadership. Thank you for passing your $787 billion stimulus package which you promised would keep unemployment at or below 8%. I couldn't imagine living in a country with an unemployment rate of 10.2%. Keep up the good work.

Try a bit over 17%, what with all those who've given up looking for work.

I'm curious to know where you think we would be with a red prez...better, worse, or the same ?

And did any of the events prior to #44 lead to the problems we are all suffering now, or is all this his own doing ?

Yes of course the Repubs participated in running up the deficit, and yes they started the "bailout" ball rolling... but Obama could have stopped it right there. Instead, he and his quasi-marxist cronies did more of the same, except that they ramped it up by a factor of about 10. So don't feel too superior with your inane 'Bush started it!' attitude.
