Just blame Bush for ACA’s problems

Now there’s only one excuse left after John Tominsky’s desperate letter to the Las Vegas Sun blaming “sabotage” for the debacle known as the Obamacare rollout. May I provide what may be the last excuse for gross incompetence in the design and mismanagement of the project: George Bush is responsible.

Just when you think you’ve heard it all, Mr. Tominsky proposed that someone in the Obama administration allowed a “mole” (someone belonging to an organization spelled with a capital R) to completely design and implement Obama’s signature legislation. Considering that the term “tight ship” is usually how the administration is referred to, surely no one in the organization is to blame, especially not the head, who has found time to get in 150 rounds of golf since taking office. Please, let’s all agree to blame it on Bush and be done with the excuses, and find someone to fix it — or just deep-six it.

Oh yeah, he says “this was designed by the president to help the middle class.” Surely, Mr. T was kidding.
