Another year has gone by and “Bethlehem on the Boardwalk,” now in its seventh year, has definitely become a success.

We are now recognized not only locally, but state wide as evident by the inclusion in the Texas Highway 2006 Magazine featuring the Port Arthur event. As a result of the article we attracted visitors from Houston who commented that “Bethlehem on the Boardwalk” was one of the most beautiful Christmas events that they had ever seen. My dream of Bethlehem on the Boardwalk will one day be fulfilled.

Without corporate sponsors and volunteers nothing can happen in a city. This program was a success because of the following corporations and volunteers: Premcor, Huntsman, BASF Fina, Sabina and Motiva Corporations and Bruno Collazo Jr., Garcia and Richard Elizondo, Memorial High School Band, Patti Salter and Tammy Kotzur of the Port Arthur Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, Steve Fitgibbons, Sam Houston Elementary Choir, St. Catherine Elementary Choir, Debbie and Arthur Hernandez, Jimmy Dike, Raymond Johnson and Councilman Lewis.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

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?
