Where does the BUCK stop?

I admire Harry Truman... he knew that he had to BE the president and AS president HE was responsible for the actions of his administration.

Kennedy saw the Bay of Pigs as his big failure and admitted it.
Clinton ultimately accepted a blow job and the responsibility for lying about it.

Where does the buck stop with this guy?
At what point does he admit wrong doing?
... Perhaps we should all look to Molly Ivans "Shrub" to answer these questions.... She indicates that he has NEVER cleaned up ANY of his own messes.

1. The last time I saw it stop was at Bill Clinton's desk.

Next scheduled stop? January 20.

Next year?

3. Unfortunately for bush, the buck will soon stop

on his desk and for once in his miserable life he will be held accountable. It will be an awesome shock to him. The days of blaming others and avoiding responsibility are numbered and he has only himself to blame. It will be good for the man. So will a jail cell. I look forward to the next few months.

4. This is not the business world...

where daddy's friends can come bail you out.... with the cash.
There is no amount of money that will solve this problem.... and THAT will be a problem for him.

6. Heck, even Reagan took responsibility for Lebanon

I loved it when the guy from the Center for American Progress was on CNN last week saying how nobody in the Bush Administration is taking responsibility for anything bad. He said when the marines got killed in Lebanon, the report prepared was ready to blame a mid level officer or bureaucrat (I forgot which) and that Reagan took the report and ignored it and announced to everybody that it was all his (Reagan's) fault.

One of the few good things he did.

7. "Clinton ultimately accepted a blow job"

I don't think he had to be persuaded much to accept a blow job. :shrug:
