Letter: It’s always someone else’s fault

As we see in all progressives, everything is always somebody else’s fault. When is the president of the United States going to admit that the mess he has gotten this country into is due to his failed policies? As the head honcho, it’s way past time for him to realize the buck stops with him.

When he took office he promised to fundamentally change America. Well, he has succeeded; our country is now a middle-of-the-road European nation, and it’s nobody’s fault but his. Yet he continues to blame everybody but himself. Why?

President Obama has accomplished what he set out to do in just three short years. He should be a man and take responsibility for his own actions. But whatever he does, I hope he stops campaigning for re-election. America doesn’t need four more years of his buffoonery. Besides, if he did get re-elected, he would be blaming the previous administration for everything that’s wrong, only that previous administration would be his. So it wouldn’t be somebody else’s fault, it would be Obama’s and his is never going to take the blame for anything.
