Truman: The buck stops here. Bush: Don't blame me I only work here.

BUSH TODAY:
The "Mission Accomplished" sign, of course, was put up by the members of the USS Abraham Lincoln, saying that their mission was accomplished. I know it was attributed somehow to some ingenious advance man from my staff.”

HERE IS HOW IT WAS REPORTED IN MAY:
"White House officials say that a variety of people, including the president, came up with the idea, and that Sforza embedded himself on the carrier to make preparations days before Mr. Bush's landing in a flight suit and his early evening speech. Media strategists noted afterward that Mr. Sforza and his aides had choreographed every aspect of the event, even down to the members of the Lincoln crew arrayed in coordinated shirt colors over Mr. Bush's right shoulder and the "Mission Accomplished" banner placed to perfectly capture the president and the celebratory two words in a single shot."

JOHN KERRY TODAY:
“George Bush has replaced Harry Truman’s ‘The Buck Stops Here’ with ‘Don’t blame me, I only work here.’ The President refuses to take responsibility not just for his taxpayer-funded landing on an aircraft carrier, but for the betrayal of our troops that his lack of post-war planning represented. Ask our troops in Iraq whether the mission has been accomplished. Ask our troops in Iraq whether they’d rather have had a fancy aircraft landing from the President or a responsible post-war plan to keep them safe. It’s not our troops’ fault that the White House turned over to media strategists and advance staff an occasion that should have been used to bring other countries to our side and begin the multilateral rebuilding of Iraq and the end of an American occupation.”

This group of candidates generates some of the highest quality debate I've seen. At lease when directed at SMirky.

Or, it would be hilarious if it wasn't so fockin' pathetic!

When he speaks you are hearing from a United States Senator. Not to be taken lightly.

Those poor guys to suffer such a fool as CIC.

And he works like half as much.

for this country. All the rightwing cares about are the few minutes he took to relax.

It seemed as though every other question he answered with a shrug and an answer like, "It's not my department"..."you'll have to ask them."

My God, who's in charge here?
