Gun Barrel City — Dear Editor,

Re: Carol Price letter of Jan. 21, 2010: Carol - there you go again. Let me in just a few words say what I think our new leader has accomplished in the last year. He has bailed out AIG, bailed out the automobile industry (with the exception of Ford, which took no bailout money and is doing better than the others), bailed out the banking industry and attempted to establish a government-run health plan with so many disturbing facets I can’t even remember them all. Who do you think will foot the bill for all these government run plans?

I thought the Nobel Peace Prize should be awarded to someone who contributed to “peace” not someone involved in two wars at the time he received it, (for someone who produced a film about global warming).

As to the ability to speak, does this mean our president can now pronounce nuclear to your satisfaction. Sorry, Carol, that’s a shot, but being a great speaker does not make you a great president. And btw, those “organized to block any efforts a democrat might have” simply want to block most efforts liberals have, whether they be democrat or republican. I’m not the only one who believes some of his efforts should be blocked...have you checked his approval ratings lately?

Let’s just agree to disagree, Carol. I think an old adage I used to say to my father probably applies to both you and me. It says: “My mind’s made up, don’t confuse me with the facts.”

  • The government, the hard workers, and the down on their luck


      When George Washington and his ragged band of rebels won our liberty from the British, they earned for us the right to stand on our own two feet and pursue happiness for ourselves.

  • Stick to the issues

     It saddens me to see Betty Brown attempting to spread lies about her opponent being a district outsider.  Lance Gooden was born and raised in Terrell and Betty knows this.  Betty herself even briefly left the district to attend college before she dropped out and returned back to Terrell.  Unfortunately, Betty continues to push this lie outside of Terrell, knowing that the folks in Lance’s hometown know better.  
      She should not try to distract voters from the real issue, her lack of effectiveness.
