Supporters of President

    I always see people writing in and viciously attacking anyone who points out anything negative about our current president.

    Yet I haven't seen any post that points out any of his great achievements! Unless you consider his and congress' record spending as being a positive thing for us or our children and grand children! He hasn't put forth anything of his own!!! It's like when he was senator and a difficult issue was to be voted on he would vote PRESENT instead of going on the record on anything!!!!

     I anxiously await anyone's praises of "OUR DEAR LEADER"!!!!!!

When George Bush was president, the media and countless people criticized Bush at every turn! And he deserved some of the criticism. The Republicans paid for their wreckless spending and now we have a even worse situation!!!!

If we survive financially as a nation until 2010 I believe the people will replace most of these tax and spend nuts we currently have in congress!!!!

Again I'm waiting!!!!

    You can dip your toes, your feet, your legs, your head in alternate energy if you like!!!
    You know what!! OIL and GAS is cheaper to produce!!!
    What Obama is purposely doing is making them more, and more EXPENSIVE so alternative energy can compete at EVERYONE'S EXPENSE!!!
    Then AL GORE, T-BOON PICKENS, and Nancy Pelosi and other people who have invested in them can PROFIT!!!!
    GET IT!!!!
    The GREEN LOBBY is hugely invested in these projects!!! It's all about $$$$$$ "

    " People who assert that Obama is leading us down the path of Hitler are acting irresponsibly. Obama is not the second Hitler or the second coming, but it doesn't stop reckless people from repeating the concentration camp analogy. I hope my Republican friends aren't so stupid to believe such tripe. While people may have a right to their opinions, there should be a measure of respect mixed in with them. Tom McCloud once said, "Stupidity is not a crime, but some people are abusing the privilege." "

    " To Jan B:

    It's important to point out that there's no ban on drilling off the gulf coast, only the Pacific and Atlantic coast.

    In pointing that out, perhaps Louisiana should diversify its economic portfolio. What good can come from such a heavy reliance on a single industry? Why are we so reliant on a finite resource and an industry subject to constant boom-and-bust cycles? Even the oil mecca of Texas has become the largest wind energy producer in America while we have yet to even dip our toes in the alternative energy market. "

    " People who keep making the concentration camp comparisons are making foolish, irresponsible statements. The Holocaust was an international tragedy. People who draw parallels between that and Obama have a warped and sick sense of history. It only proves that people use whatever part of history they want to serve their own purpose. It's sick and you should be ashamed of yourselves. Somehow, I doubt you will be. "

    1.)The "patriot act" was nothing more than a means to undermine our rights under the constitution and fundamentally alter the nature of our civil liberties.

    2.)Yes, I was greatly disappointed that Obama allowed three provisions of the "patriot act" to be extended.

    3.) I want troops out of Iraq NOW, not an eventual drawdown.
    More stimulus money should have been directed at funding high-speed rail projects.
    He needs to be more aggressive on health care reform and threaten to veto any h.c. bill that doesn't include a public option. "

    McGraw/Hill maintains a website which list all projects being funded either wholly or partly by the stimulus package. Check it out. Locally, The advocate has an article on their website entitled "Lafayette Oks road work" which states that "the City-Parish Council on Tuesday approved a list of $9 million in road projects to be funded with federal stimulus money, including one major intersection and two road overlay projects."

    " to LovingGOPmeltdown: reguarding number 5 on a previous post. I hope you're just as happy with Obama when our local economy goes down (because as the oil fields goes so goes our local economy).He's giving Billions to Brazil to encourage oil exploration, because as you stated our coast has been raped enough. When my friends (and yours also) are suffering from unemployment and our states economy is down the tubes , we'll know who to thank. Our area was fortunate during the 80's and 90's recessions. But fasten your wallet, we will feel this one. "

    " Only two other sitting Presidents have won a Nobel Peace Prize. Republican President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt orchestrated a peace treaty between Russia and Japan in 1905 and earned the well-deserved recognition. Democratic President Woodrow Wilson decidedly pushed peace efforts after World War I and also earned the award. When stating their reasons, the Committee basically said that Obama earned an "A" for effort, for changing the dialogue among the world. It might be the beginning of a great thing, but it's not an accomplishment. No wonder so many have asked the question: "For What?" "

    The Prize wrote on Oct 11, 2009 11:27 AM:

    " To Betty and the rest that think this "Nobel" thing is a good thing...All it is, is an effort to convince Obama to do something he shouldn't. As for that entitlement and the company it keeps only goes to show how worthless that prize is. Their reason for giving it was disclosed as "Obama's attempts" and not the results of anything done, why? Because Obama has accomplished nothing except being a total embarrassment bowing and kneeling to other countries apologizing for our arrogance. He's a fool. And if you like him, then you are a fool too!...It"s_a_joke! "

    " Loving: You constantly praise the "stimulus package". But are you honest enough to point out just a few of the most ridiculous earmarks that were attached to it, that have absolutely nothing to do with "stimulating the economy"? By the way, can you tell me if GM filed bankruptcy despite the billions they got from the "stimulus package"? My memory is a little foggy. "

    Cajunator wrote on Oct 11, 2009 10:59 AM:

    " Loving: "You Lie", there has never been a "ban" on stem-cell research. It was just never funded by taxpayer dollars. There is a consensus among the scientific community, that using adult stem-cells for research has shown much more potential for medical breakthroughs than "embryonic" stem-cells. So much so, that most scientists aren't even using "ebmryonic" stem cells, despite the fact that federal funding is now available. "

    Cajunator wrote on Oct 11, 2009 10:38 AM:

    " Loving: If you're not a cheerleader, answer this:

    1) State your position on "The Patriot Act".

    2) Tell us if you agree with Obama's position on "The Patriot Act"

    3) Be truly honest, and tell us what issues you disagree with President Obama on.

    4) State what issues you agreed with President Bush on.

    5) Do you think an independent investigation of ACCORN is warranted?

    6) Do you think an independent investigation into Nancy Pelosi's accusation that the CIA lied about having briefed her extensively on the use of waterboarding, is warranted? "

    3. Prove it!

    4. If Obama makes a SINGLE effort to reduce our trade deficit, he will have exceeded Bush on that issue and the dollar will strengthen.

    5. GOOD! Our coastline has been raped enough.

    6. Amnesty for illegals? Bush tried no less than THREE times during his administration to pass amnesty legislation. Furthermore, have you forgotten about the McCain/Kennedy amnesty bill? "

Complain about the budget deficits all you want but at least YOUR money is being spent to rebuild AMERICA rather than nation-build ANOTHER COUNTRY! "

You're filled with rage and it blinds you. Everything Obama/Congress do is bad, bad, bad, and that can't be always true. You'll rage against the dying of the light but it doesn't make your situation any better. Join an activist group that gets people with your views to go out and vote for what you want. Until you do, you're cutting your life short with this hysteria and you'll die earlier. "

    " I think it's only fitting that Obama got the Nobel Prize. After all, in 1994 Yasser Arafat, one of the biggest sponsors of terrorism in this century, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize for making a fraudulent documentary, and setting up his "carbon credits" scam. Winning a Nobel Peace Prize carries about as much clout as having the Taliban present a Women's Rights award, or like having the U.N. present Kofi Annon with a Humanitarian award for heading the Oil-for-Food Program.

The President did deserve the Peace Prize ,,,why.., he is trying to get back the trust that the world used to have in us before we started bulling other countries under the last adminisration. He had also accomplished to break to sterotypical presidental type. He became President at a time when things in this country were looking very bleak. And by the I am also white and an independent.

    " Jimmy Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize over twenty-five years after he was president. He won it for his humanitarian work with Habitat for Humanity and for working to ensure developing nations had free and fair elections. That is noble, and I actually believe he earned it. As president, however, he is widely seen as a rookie incapable of handling the job he held, no matter how kind or well-meaning he was. As an ex-President, he does often say the goofiest things, making matters worse than they were before. "
