Blame under new ownership

I was at first amused, then saddened, by the pathetic comments of Vern Stevens (Letters, March 23) who is continuing the left’s mantra of blaming Bush. This despite the fact that he has been out of office for quite some time now.

Here’s a news flash for Mr. Stevens – the last time I looked, the majority of senators and the current president have a “D” behind their names. These are no longer “Bush tax cuts” or “Republican give-aways to the rich” as the left keeps purporting. Just as Libya is “Obama’s war,” these are “Obama’s tax cuts.”

My gosh, when are Democrats going to take responsibility for their actions?
