Recently, wasn’t there a man from Santa Rosa county who was questioned and/or jailed for sending threatening lettters to the White House regarding the president??? Hopefully that isn’t the mindset of other people in our area but maybe the secret service feels that it’s “better to be safe, than sorry”.

JW- good point. And doesn’t God help those who help themselves? One person is not going to be able to fix this (and at this point, I have no faith whatsoever in BP as a solution) so maybe those of us who are concerned or upset should be trying to find out what little thing we can do to help solve this problem (volunteering, donating to the cause…ect). Every little bit counts, right?

While I’m not sure why anyone puts their faith in a president or big government of any party, you all should have figured out that his coming here is strictly political. But all of you know that no matter who is president they will take precautions to protect him from idiots that may take an opportunity to kill the man. You all know that we have no shortage of nuts running around. Just think if he were to be killed, or hurt in a way that he could not serve Joe would have to step up and that man would be so excited he would have a heart attack, then you would have Nancy P.
Some of you just can’t get G. Bush out of you mouth. The man is no longer president, we have a different bozo now. Just set back and relax his Pensacola visit will be short and we can go back to bickering about everything we can do very little about. Put you faith to better use, in the God of the bible.

Jesus would stop my friend, He, unlike the rest of us, shows compassion, love, grace, mercy and forgiveness and then I believe Obama would pay homage to HIM. “Every knee shall bow, every tongue shall confess…..”

Yes, it will be a difficult morning for those folks trying to get to work and such. But all of you mouth-breathers who can only criticize President Obama regardless of what he tries to do are a part of the problem–not a solution.

“The Messiah?” –what the hell? Turn Glenn Beck off for a few hours and try to think for yourself without slavishly following a political entertainer.

And Casandra–I would offer that he is doing a lot to help us here–you only want to advance an opposing political opinion without any proof–typical Repug/TeaBag tactic.

Much like all of you on this blog who have spent the last 18 months railing against any government in your lives. Now you want government to make it all better.

But I have no doubt none of you understand hypocrisy. I know what you do understand, though.

May I say that if Jesus chose to come back as the president was coming down the road……….He would not stop to pay homage to the man!!!!!

Anydaynow is right, this happens with all Presidents. I don’t think that we need to keep being negative about Bush though. What good comes from that statement. I would have thought that the President would have wanted to have as little negative impact on this area as possible, but I guess I was wrong on that assumption. He’s here though, and thats good, now I just hope we don’t put a show on for him, and let him see the real story. He needs to see the damage and feel the pain of those that have been so terribly affected by this tragedy.

Though president Obama may not be able to go out into the Gulf with a wet suit and absorb all of the oil with a sponge and hope, it’s great that we have a leader who is here, involved and at least wants to do something to help. He wants to be involved in the process of getting the oil spill resolved and I find that commendable. I just really hope that a resolution is found soon. It’s sad that oil companies didn’t improve their practices after seeing the destruction post Valdez. I hope that BP is held accountable.

We had this same kind of spill back in 79′ and they know no more now than they did back then on how to stop it, and it was only 200′ deep last time. It stopped after the relief wells were put in place. So hurry up and wait.
