The Buck Stops With Obama on Tepid Financial Reform

[JayhawkSD]

3. The buck doesn't stop with Obama on anything.

It didn't stop with him when the launch of Obamacare was botched; he was angry and outraged, and didn't even learn of it until the same time we did, when he read about it in the newspapers. The buck didn't even stop with hsi appointed Secretary of HHS, either; she resigned more almost a year later, for reasons which had nothing to do with the mess.

It didn't stop with him with the VA Hospital disaster; he is angry and outraged and has just now learned about it when he read about it in the newspapers. The buck doesn't stop with his appointed Secretary of VA either, in whiom he has "full confidence."

Harry Truman had the sign on his desk that says "The buck stops here," but President Obama does not subscribe to that theory. Some presidents accept responsibility for what their subordinates do or don't do, and others sit in the bubble of the White House and are "outraged" by the failures of their subordinates.
