Silly to blame Obama

I found the Aug. 23 letter by Joseph Harari (“Obama is bad news”) very enlightening. I guess I didn’t realize that President Obama was responsible for our high unemployment. I thought our jobs had been going south and overseas for years. They are still being sent abroad for no other reason than corporate greed.

President Obama tried to stimulate the economy. Some say the stimulus wasn’t large enough. Some say it was too much. Again, the president must be at fault. Yes, we do have new unwanted health care reforms that the majority of Americans want. Bad President!

Yes, we had this historic credit downgrade. I thought it was because the tea party held our country hostage in exchange for a debt limit increase.

On the international scene, we have a country that is on the verge of becoming democratic, due, in part, to the help of the U.S, and other countries.

Now, let’s see if we can blame him for anything else. Well, there was that tsunami that destroyed part of Japan. I’m sure he must have had a hand in that.

Now, when was it that Natalee Holloway disappeared while on vacation? Is there anyway to pin that on Obama?
