Is it still Bush's fault?

Remember the good old days when you bought pop from returnable bottles and Bush was responsible for every thing; including the shortage of flu shots.........

“While many Americans search in vain for flu shots, members and employees of Congress are able to obtain them quickly and at no charge from the Capitol's attending physician, who has urged all 535 lawmakers to get the vaccines even if they are young and healthy… But people of all ages who are credentialed to work in the Capitol can get a shot by saying they meet the guidelines, with no further questions asked… The practice appears to directly contravene the instruction being given by the government's executive branch.” --- Charles Babington and David Brown, The Washington Post, Oct. 20, 2004.

"Yesterday, on the way from St. Petersburg to New Port Richey, the presidential entourage stopped at the Paradise Restaurant in the little town of Safety Harbor, where the president and his brother posed for pictures and were served coffee and baklava. While in the restaurant, a member of the press pool shouted out a question to the president: 'Are you accountable for the flu vaccine shortage?' Bush ignored the question. And reporters were hustled out of the restaurant." --- Dan Froomkin’s White House Briefing Column, Oct. 20, 2004.

I'm waiting for an Obama presser where gets to blame Bush for the R2D2 flu shortage.....

PS as an aside, this morning, I watched an old Patty Duke show where Kathy had a reaction to the flu shot. Remember, this show ran from 1963 -1966; long before freaks like me became an anti vaccination types.
