Letter: Obama deserves credit

In a letter to the Coeur d’Alene Press editor, Sandra Boynton of Rathdrum says President Obama deserves credit for the impact of his economic policies in turning the local economy around:

“While reading all the news out of Rathdrum, just last week alone, I was inspired. In the Coeur d’Alene Press, the mayor of Rathdrum, Vic Holmes reminded us all that Rathdrum would not be buying land if this were 2007 or 2008. I live in Rathdrum and take daily walks and bike rides around our neighborhoods. Building is booming with new houses being built weekly and new businesses coming here. No, it did not look like this in 2007-2008, the George W. Bush years. Almost no building was taking place and traffic on Meyer Road was almost non-existent. I know because “I can see Meyer Road From My Front Porch” to nearly paraphrase Sarah Palin. Gasoline was $4.85 per gallon and people were staying home as much as possible. Our neighbors on each side of us lost their homes to foreclosure. More here.
