Letter: Wrong to blame all of the nation’s woes on Bush

Regarding Mary Mills' May 19 letter, "Bush to blame for chaos":

Mills and many others with her mindset sure do give President Bush amazing powers. He steals the election and gets away with it along with the Supreme Court which, unless you totally have your head stuck in the sand, is mostly made up of liberals. What's even more amazing to me is that Mills seems to think that the problems facing America today are also his and only his doings.

Let's see, that would make it a 9-11 Bush attack, and he would be responsible for the towers that no longer stand.

Also, SARS (which incidentally has crippled the economy more than 9-11) would be called Bush-SARS.

The so-called wonderful times seen by our country in prior years were mostly plastic, and any economy will not continue at a fast rate of speed for years on end even if there were no 9-11 or SARS, terrorists, bombings in Israel, and any other outside force which even Mills must admit is silly to blame on President Bush.

The term sore loser comes to mind. Of course the situation in Texas this past week would make other terms come to mind, but wouldn't it be silly to continue name-calling or to fix blame.

Our country needs to accept, not hate, get over the election, get over Mills' loss and help build a better America.
