To the editor:

We are now being overwhelmed with Republican ads on TV and radio, each competing for who hates Obama more and blaming him for high costs, loss of jobs, etc. One even blames him for Ferguson. I am shocked they don’t pin the Black Plague or Pearl Harbor on him.

You staunch conservatives seem to have short memories. Eight years ago one of your own left this country on the brink of depression and having to bail out banks and savings and loan companies with taxpayers’ money. He fraudulently invaded Iraq, destabilizing the country, causing ethnic separation and the rise of ISIS. Almost 4,500 young Americans and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis have lost their lives. The U.S. has paid over a trillion dollars and is still paying to repair the damage caused by the previous Republican administration.

Please compare the economy and state of the country now with the situation when Bush left office. I hear Republican ads that say “Take back our country.” Seriously? You want to turn back the clock eight years? Are you nuts?
