Alle...Dude/dudette, My focus is primarily local. <br /><br />Allentown is the LV's largest city. The people elected there are going to affect the daily lives of LV people a lot more than Obama's Nobel Peace Prize. Most local government is neglected, But I find it fascinating and try to cover what is going on. That's what i do. I like it. <br /><br />If I focused more on national issues or even state issues, it would be easy to increase readership and attract a wider audience. But this is Lehigh Valley Ramblings, hence the emphasis on the Lehigh Valley. It's where I'm happiest. <br /><br />The number of comments on a post do not correlate necessarily with its popularity. I'll bet you right now that this post is probably my most popular entry tis week. <br /><br />A-town could have three reporters from both papers and a host of bloggers and we still would be finding things out. <br /><br />Another point about local government is that one person, even an anonymous commenter, can make a difference. Local leaders will read what you say. But do you really think anyone gives a rat's ass what some anon thinks about Obama's Nobel Peace Prize? <br /><br />Having said that, I have an email exchange from two friends who agreed to let me post their sentiments tomorrow.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-48409611421848327902009-10-09T23:12:26.580-04:002009-10-09T23:12:26.580-04:00BORING topic as per 10 comments all day.
Come up ...BORING topic as per 10 comments all day.<br /><br />Come up with a post about the imposter Obama winning the Nobel prize when he has done NOTHING of substance thus far in his presidency?? The Nobel committee kisses up to another left-wing NWO proponent. After bashing the USA on the world stage for 10 months Obama's distain for America has paid off! What a disgrace! Arafat, Carter and now this narcistic wannabe. Like the UN the Nobel committee has become totally political and irrelevant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-76162523480417893082009-10-09T18:39:31.323-04:002009-10-09T18:39:31.323-04:00I believe he meant that $600 MM in oublic and priv...I believe he meant that $600 MM in oublic and private investment has occurred, but he's not the clearest bell in the choir.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-3321403318104141592009-10-09T18:07:29.424-04:002009-10-09T18:07:29.424-04:00Gurdiy claimed over $600M went to Allentown in Com...Gurdiy claimed over $600M went to Allentown in Community Economic monies in the last 5 years.

I would not have made any comments if that would have been a problem. There was no response. it is your neighborhood meeting and I certainly respect what neighborhood groups their place in our community. You should have SPOKEN UP my presence at the meeting was of some concern, at least to me.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858039550913121765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-36694719038121266792009-10-09T11:53:52.713-04:002009-10-09T11:53:52.713-04:00O'Hare for Nobel Peace PrizeO'Hare for Nobel Peace PrizeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-89111423239862258872009-10-09T10:29:32.359-04:002009-10-09T10:29:32.359-04:00although volvo mom may keep her shoes in the close...although volvo mom may keep her shoes in the closet, let me say that this is a good post, representing much work. this blog has provided a source of fair documentation of the allentown political circus, through editing. On the other hand, the proposal to webcam the entire council meetings, in addition to being a lethal sleeping pill, should well be a source of embarrassment for council members.michael molovinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581039755319742687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-34224578582506241112009-10-09T10:05:56.836-04:002009-10-09T10:05:56.836-04:00Your gratitude is appreciate and makes it worth th...Your gratitude is appreciate and makes it worth the effort.

Both he and Tony showed up un-announced and in my opinion ruined an otherwise good meeting. It is no exaggeration to say that the truth to the mayor is what ever he needs it to be. Does he really believe what he is saying? Perhaps he is deluded enough to believe that his governance(?) has had a positive effect on the city. <br /> The only thing worse than his blatant lies were the intelligent people who accept his claims on faith.<br /><br /> Scott ArmstrongAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
