When will Democrats stop blaming Bush?

Frank Sears of Buffalo Grove, in his latest tirade against George W. Bush, accuses the Republicans of "repeated charachter assassination." Does he mean like the hatchet job the Democrats did on Sarah Palin?

Mr. Sears is obviously one of those Bush haters who sees our country going to pot under the headership of Barack Obama and both houses of congress controlled by the Democratic partry. As I recall, when Mr. Bush left office we had an unemployment rate of 5 or 6 percent. It is now over 10 percent.

When you voted for Mr. Obama you apparently believed him when he said he would change things for the better. When is it going to happen? He is almost 25 percent into his administration and the country is on the verge of bankruptcy and unemployment continues to surge. He was elected to correct what was wrong and obviously he isn't up to the job.

The man's a great orator and fooled a lot of you people. That's what happens when you elect an empty suit. In five days I will be 83 years old and I would be willing to make a deal with God: Let me live until there isn't a Democrat left who blames the woes of our country on George W. Bush. If I could make that deal I might live forever.
