Letter to the Editor: Why the Yankees = George W. Bush

The Post Standard (Syracuse, NY)

To the Editor:

After reading Beth Head's response to Alan Pack's letter in the June 6 edition of The Post-Standard, I am sick and tired of people blaming the previous administration for the situation happening in the Gulf right now.

George W. Bush left office 17 months ago. Sooner or later, President Obama and the current administration need to take some accountability and start to take some action rather than blaming his predecessor.

There's a saying: Either you're part of the solution or part of the problem. It seems that since this oil rig explosion, President Obama has been doing more of the latter than the former. Keep in mind that when you point a finger at someone you have three fingers pointing right back at you.

Ms. Head, let me ask you something: Should the Yankees fail to repeat as World Series champs this year, should we blame Bush for that as well? Think about it.
