Obama blames his staff again - does the buck stop with Obama, or start from him?

Question

Truman had a sign on his desk that said "The Buck Stops Here." When people started passing the buck up to their bosses, if it got passed up to Truman he knew what to do with it.

But now it seems Obama's sign should be "I Start Passing the Buck From Here."

Look how the Democrats are blaming Obama's staff for the WH party crashers. The news is the Obamas are furiously angry.

Angry at who? They're the bosses. They are in charge of the staff. If they're angry, they should be angry at themselves for their own mismanagement and failure to provide proper leadership and guidance to their staff.

Their arrogance is showing.

Now we know where the buck stops in the Obama admin. The buck stops when it reaches the cleaning lady, and she has nobody to pass the buck down to.

Answer 1

That party crashing caper is just more proof that children are running the show now.

Answer 2

i think of the project is, with all components, is they don't be responsive to the thank you to handle a man or woman that easily seems in any respect components and makes judgements from that. even nonetheless Bo became left with a multitude by potential of the Bush admin, which became a Dem run congress, the Republicans went impressive alongside and on no account puzzled any of the Bush rules yet observed impressive at the back of him. Now, the two components are gun shy because of the fact of Bush and attempt to save their jobs by potential of being nasty or independent, regardless of will save their positions. human beings ought to remember, the president submits an concept or concept the Judiciary, then to the Senate and the living house. For his concept to bypass, he could desire to get the final public of all 3 to push it by. So, if the three branches are at the instant the two balanced, then why blame Dems or Repubs for passing expenses or law's, you ought to have a majority to get them exceeded from each and each branch and at the instant it is the totals 111th Congress (2009-2011) Majority occasion: Democrat (fifty seven seats) Minority occasion: Republican (40-one seats) different events: a million self reliant; a million self reliant Democrat finished Seats: a hundred no longer lots of a actual "dominance" at the instant. Even the well-being care invoice in user-friendly terms exceeded by potential of 219 to 212 after a 300 and sixty 5 days of hemmin' and hawin' over it by potential of those with particular ties to the present coverage firms and "particular interest" communities. they could have pulled a filibuster yet did no longer, ever ask your self why?

Answer 3

As near as we can figure out, Obama fired the experienced person on the White House staff who traditionally has kept and checked the guest list at the front gate for these kinds of events. The reason for firing her was that the Obama administration would not be having state dinners during a recession (ha). Then the job passed to one of Obama's Chicago friends, who was more interested in showing off her figure at the dinner in an inappropriate dress than sitting at the guard gate checking guests.

Answer 4

You babble incoherently. At least Obama has never said, in the face of the sheer incompetence of his administration, "Heck of a job, Brownie" or "Mission Accomplished." Now THERE was an incompetent who never passed the buck because he never had the brain power to recognize his own utter failures.



All I can say is I'm happy we finally have a president with a triple digit IQ for the first time since Clinton.

Answer 5

The type of democrat that Truman was is a completely different one. I was quite pleased to see Obama going forward on the troop surge and most if not all of his party whining about it. The buck doesn't stop, it just keeps going around and around and around.......

Answer 6

So the Obamas should be at the door checking ID's and running security scans? What about all that personal responsibility stuff we hear constantly from the right? If someone does not do their job, they ARE responsible for their failure. If you screw up at work, should your boss be punished or you?



And how do we know that the Obama's did not give correct guidance? This is about the most ridiculous argument I have ever heard.

Answer 7

Why does Obama spend millions on surrounding himself with scapegoats (Czars)?

Now, if one of his hair-brained schemes fails, he'll just blame some Czar. If one happens to succeed, he'll take the credit. And, if he has to fire all his Czars, he'll just blame the previous administration. But he doesn't care. He only seems interested in turning this economy from corrupt capitalism where greedy businessmen suck the life out of the people to a socialism in which an incompetent and corrupt government sucks the life out of the people. And they're Machiavellian in their approach... do it, crush the opposition, and then tell the people it was for their own good.

Answer 8

Actually, by all accounts, one thing the president is not in charge of is the Secret Service. The president can make recommendations, but the security of the president falls entirely on them.

Answer 9

I'll bet that the security got a few phone numbers for an "after party party" lmao

Answer 10

This is what happens when you appoint your buddies and contributors instead of qualified ppl. This is why he has to keep firing czars/etc.



I wonder if its shocking to find out ppl in his little circle are pretty much inept despite all the eliteist back patting they recieve their entire lives?

Answer 11

Liberals almost never take responsibility for their own screw ups. That's why they blame everything on other parties, even when it is not logically possible the other party had anything to do with it. Obama screwed up in his staffing decisions, so what's new? Look at the rest of his staff and tell me how that is news at all.

Answer 12

Wow, the liberal responders here keep proving that liberals really have no comprehension of the word "responsible."



They can't conceive of how Obama could take responsibility for the person who checks the guest list at the door, unless that person is Obama himself.



No wonder they have trouble keeping jobs honestly...

Answer 13

No the buck stops at the New World Order and what they tell Obama to do.

Answer 14

That is what happens when children are in charge "The Blame Game"....

Answer 15

He had to blame someone because even he realized that he couldn't pawn this one off no Bush...yet. He may still find a way.

Answer 16

It is not a characteristic of a liberal to take responsibility for their own actions.

Answer 17

So what you're saying is that Obama should be at the door, checking the guest list. That's really the only way anyone could say it was his responsibility.



Does anything that Conservatives say ever make even the slightest bit of sense?

Answer 18

Obama is a fraud

Answer 19

He's probably thinking now, should I have taken this job

Answer 20

Bush put them up to it.....
