Bush Isn't Up to the Difficult Job

I agree with the Sept. 28 letter, “Bush critics being unfair,” when it states that Bush has been faced with “some awfully difficult jobs.” Having said that, being the president of the United States is probably one of the most difficult jobs on Earth, something one must know and accept when taking such a position.We would expect our employee (the president) to be worthy of the task. Unfortunately, Bush's job record in the past did nothing to help us come to that conclusion, yet he was elected anyway. Sadly, this president has proven he is not up to the task.Although the phrase “blame game” has been bandied about much in the past weeks, I suggest that accountability for one's actions or inactions is the name of the game. In this administration, I have seen no one who is accountable.We, as Americans, must step up and ask for better from our elected officials, especially the president.
