The Nederland Chamber of Commerce and Tourist Bureau board of directors and staff would like to thank the Nederland Heritage Festival Foundation for the generous donation to the museums.

The Nederland Chamber of Commerce is responsible for the Windmill and French House Museums along with the salaries of the employees who man them. We are supported in this endeavor by the city of Nederland through our hotel/motel tax. It is through this money that we are able to pay these employees.

Due to Hurricane Rita and the destruction of the Best Western Motel, the contribution from the hotel/motel tax is almost non-existant. Due to this drastic drop in income, the Nederland Chamber of Commerce is looking at having to close the museums with the exception of special tours and laying off these employees.

With the donation from the Festival Foundation this will help to keep the museums open and staff employed for a longer time.

Again, the Nederland Chamber of Commerce appreciates the continued support from the Nederland Heritage Festival Foundation.

Should Obama get credit or blame?
In a long Saturday Nov. 12 feature column, the writer suggested that President Obama "could only take credit or blame for those things that are the result of his ideas." He then listed twelve items for consideration in making that assessment. An only slightly edited version of those twelve items will make them more useful for that purpose and that version follows. (1) President Obama inherited Bush's Great Recession....which had actually been created, not by Bush, but by a failed seventy year experiment in socialism. (2) He stabilized the banking system....using borrowed money. (3) He extended unemployment benefits....using borrowed money. (4) He reduced taxes....using borrowed money. (5) He signed a health-care law....funded by borrowed money. (6) A nuclear arms treaty was signed with the Soviet Union....which had been defeated by Ronald Reagan twenty years ago. (7) Job loss steadily decreased and eventually has resulted in job gains....among government workers and funded by borrowed money. (8) Obama saved the three American auto companies....using borrowed money. (9) He passed a stimulus plan....using borrowed money. (10) Several Al Qaeda leaders were killed....by our remarkable military teams trained during the Bush Administration. (11) The President is trying to solve the nation's short and long-term economic problems....using borrowed money. (12) President Obama has been willing to compromise....in order to raise taxes or borrow more money.
Based on the writer's list, does President Obama deserve credit or blame?
