In response to Eric Munneke’s Sept. 3 letter, “Blame Clinton, not Bush, for the mess,” I offer these thoughts. President Bush praised himself and his party for taking the country out of the hands of the “feel-good liberals” and giving it back to the party that promotes personal responsibility. Maybe it is high time that his followers practice what their leader preaches.
Having been in office for nearly four years they have done nothing but blame other people for their mistakes, including wasting the first surplus we had in many years, driving us deep into debt, the war in Iraq, record job losses, destroying good union jobs and replacing them with dead-end jobs, a flat economy and stock market, many retirees losing their security, continued loss in health insurance, etc.
When you point a finger at someone else, there are three fingers pointing back at you. Blaming President Clinton for their own failures is about as ludicrous as giving Ronald Reagan credit for the glorious eight years in America we had under Bill Clinton’s leadership. I, for one, would love to see all candidates focus on what is important rather than try to discredit their opponent.
