How Bizarre. How does news of a newspaper closing turn into a Bush/Obama rant? Print media everywhere has been on the ropes for years – long before any economic downturn. It’s not because of the national debt or a war or either presidents policies.

People simply don’t read print media any more.

Hey Michael – just to clear up something on “environmentalists” and the paper/trees/global warming issue – any eco-warrior worth his salt these days is in favour of big libraries and lots of trees being made into paper (as long as the logged trees are replaced by new plantings.) That’s because carbon locked up in paper and libraries isn’t carbon dioxide escaping into the air as a greenhouse gas. Trees are good, but so is lots and lots of paper – as long as we preserve it as paper, and don’t let it biodegrade. Totally off-topic, I know (I’m a Johannesburger, so I never got to read NY Blade) – but now that more and more responsible souls are getting environmentally active, more an more misperceptions are popping up. Sorry if anyone thinks I’m a pedant…

However trace, Obama brought the economy out of tailspin within the first months of his administration while Georgie boy did as he always does: he dithered away endlessly for months, refusing to make any difficult decisions.

Snuffer, maybe you’ve missed Obama’s last 200 days. He’s increased spending more than will be able to be paid off in generations. If you can find a bright point, it’s that hopefully this will only encourage more to make this man a 1 term President.

Hey Trace:

Have you been asleep during the past 8 years? Cause it was George Bush who spent the surplus, increased the deficit and increase spending on a war we have no business being in. Nice try to blame Obama for the last eight years… but I agree thank you george bush you @

It’s not ALL George Bush, it’s also the Internet and the environmentalists. Paper was once a tree..
