Obama has been a disater and a serious destructive force to the nation as well as the Democrat Party.

Has Obama brought peace to the middle east?...prevented oil spills?...solved our energy crisis?...improved the economy? Stopped No Korea & Iran from acquiring nukes? Answer: NO!Instead O has focused his precious time on other items -- e.g...ignoring the US Constitution...quadrupling deficit spending from the day GW Bush left the oval ofc?...dragging his feet for over a month after the oil spill, and not even venturing to speak with the BP president until TWO mos after the fact...Made Americans feel proud by apologizing for our country to the rest of the world?

O was planning to present BP with an award as an example of a company that takes pains to protect the environment when the oil spill occurred.

the world is laughing at America's leaders Obama, Pelosi and Biden. What a joke, this is the worse group ever to lead America. Sad

Thank God Obama was not President on 9/11?

How many months would it have taken before he reacted and "kicked some ass"?

The legacy of the man who brought so many federal dollars to Johnstown was evident earlier this month at the Showcase for Commerce, a trade exhibition that began in 1991 with card tables set up in the banquet hall of the local Holiday Inn. Over two decades, Mr. Murtha helped persuade large defense firms to take part. The event became an annual ritual, where a $25-a-plate sausage-and-egg breakfast presided over by Mr. Murtha was the main draw.

At this year's John P. Murtha Breakfast, Mr. Critz paid tribute to his predecessor. "He was my mentor, he was my hero, and I learned a hell of a lot from that man," he said. "So many people are relying on the person in this position to do the best job that they can do for the people back home."

Local leaders say the trade show has generated billions of dollars in revenue for the Johnstown area. Some wonder, with Mr. Murtha's passing, whether defense contractors will continue to turn out for it in large numbers. "Obviously, I'm apprehensive," Mr. Critz said in an interview. "The way that I look at it, as long as they're making money, they're going to come back."
