Yes, there are angels here on earth. I stood there with my knuckles in my mouth and tears in my eyes watching her trying the coax Jack, my Pomeranian, from the busy street knowing that if I made a sound he would run even further away from her.

There she was perfectly coifed, with lovely makeup, in one of her finest suits, hosiery and matching heels, kneeling in wet grass from the early morning dew trying desperately to get Jack to come to her. She had hurried all the way over from Market Basket under difficult circumstances when she saw me trying to catch him.

Cars were backed up on both sides, waiting, probably running late for work while she begged Jack to come to her. A gentleman pulled into the library parking lot and ran over to help. When Jack started paying attention to that kind man is when Mrs. Bush of C.O. Wilson was able to grab hold of Jack. He probably would not be here today if not for Mrs. Bush’s loving heart and that fine man’s generous effort.

I cannot forget the image of Mrs. Bush on her knees in that dripping, wet grass, her clothes soiled, trying to help a stranger in need. Many times I had heard from my children and grandchildren how wonderful a person she is but now I have my own personal experience with this extraordinary lady. Thank you, Mrs. Bush, and thank you kind sir, for saving Jack’s life.

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?
