Regarding a Community Voice caller who asked why we continue to re-elect the same council: Once again this summer, we’re going to watch our teenagers run the streets. Last year in Lindenwald, that’s what they did — run the streets. No pools, no money spent for our kids. Kids can just do without, but you can spend all this money for downtown to make it more trashy for low-income artists. What a joke. Please do something.

To all you people who love George Bush: That’s fine. Love him. All I know is that before he got in office, this country was doing pretty good. After he got in, this country was brought to its knees. I thought the buck stopped with him. If you want to try to pin this mess on Bill Clinton — well, Bush had eight years to fix it. He fixed it all right. It will take Obama eight years to fix Bush’s mess, just like it took Clinton eight years to fix Reagan’s and the first George Bush’s mess.

For the people complaining about Fairfield holding school on Memorial Day: I personally do not find it disrespectful at all, considering that Monday is actually a man-made holiday. People who really celebrate Memorial Day know that the real Memorial Day is May 31.

I cannot believe that Edgewood School District is spending $570,000 on a football field. People are losing houses and without jobs. ... What is wrong with these people? Where are the priorities? Spend it where you need it. Don’t be coming asking people for a levy. They need to vote those people out.

To the callers who have called about the LeapFrog Crammer: That’s just flat-out racist — to ask why they have English and Spanish on it. Just so the callers know, some of us parents like our kids to learn another language. My daughter is 3, and she has this toy. She is fluent in Spanish, thanks to this toy and other toys like that. Some people buy it so their children can learn Spanish, not so they can make Spanish their primary language. It is just another racist thing going on in Hamilton to gripe over a LeapFrog. If they don’t like it, throw it out in the garage sale. Somebody will buy it for their kid.

I'm not so sure the guy who follows Obama will be able to fix what he messes up. The only real way to fix it would be to get rid of 'em all and start over, running things the way the constitution was meant to be by the fellows who signed it. Get rid of welfare and the illegals and it should be easy.

In regards to the presidential comment, that is not how it works. It usually takes a president several years to get his plans into congress, then years for them to begin. The president the FOLLOWS reaps/sows from the president before. Clinton was blessed by Reagen/Bush before him. Bush jr., reaped what was started but not finished by Clinton. We won't know how Obama does until his predecessor takes office.......

As to Bush, Clinton, or any other President, ruining the economy, it's Congress that authorizes spending and fiscal policy....duh. The Dems and GOP have both been complicit in wrecking our economy for over 30+ years ala debt, waste, pork, earmarks, welfare, Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, Fannie, Freddie, etc. Open your eyes because they are tripling down on the debt by the trillions to "fix" what they created. And our healthcare is next...

"Teens will be running the streets again this summer"
...as they have done every summer since the invention of pavement.

Please do something? are you kidding me, that's your job. The caller seems to think it's the job of gov't. to provide recreation opportunities for her children for the summer. Perhaps Caller you ought to instill some independence and values in your children, then you won't have to fret all summer long.

About kids running the streets...why don't you talk to their parents? They're supposed to be raising their children, so maybe they can give them something to do.
