Blame Someone Else

Letter to the Washington Post

Re: June 29th article “Bush’s Rare Admission As President: Defeat

Dear editor:

Mr. Bush and the White House crew are busy blaming Congress for the defeat of his Immigration Reform initiative. Twice it has gone down in flames as have all of his domestic programs, and as you say, “he is zero for four.” Of course the blame has been placed on the Democrats, but the story is much deeper than that.

What has to be recognized is the fact that it is called “leadership.” Either you have it or you don’t. He doesn’t have it, except when he uses fear mongering against a perceived foreign enemy. But America is tired of that, as is the rest of the Western World. The problem is that his inabilities are finally showing up, and try as he may, he can’t blame others for his ineffectiveness.
