I keep coming back to Obama and this issue of accountability

[journalist3072]

In January of 2005, George W. Bush told the Washington Post "We had an accountability moment, and that's called the 2004 election."

My point? We don't need another President who believes they are not accountable to the American people 24 hours, seven days a week, 365 days of the year.

And thus far, Barack Obama has not been held accountable for anything in this campaign. In one of the previous debates, he gives virtually the same answer regarding drivers' licenses for illegal immigrants, that Sen. Clinton in another debate (and for which she was crucified for). The media gives Obama a free pass for his answer (again, the same one they crucified Sen. Clinton for).

It's also interesting that they have not held Obama accountable for the comments coming from his surrogates. Obama was the one who said he told Sen. Clinton that candidates set the tone for their campaign, and that any inappropriate comments coming from his team, wouldn't be tolerated.

So I ask, why hasn't Obama fired his adviser, Air Force Gen. Merrill "Tony" McPeak (Ret.), who said that Obama "doesn't go on television and have crying fits; he isn't discovering his voice at the age of 60."

I'll give Obama credit for disavowing those comments, but IF (and that's a huge IF) he truly believes that he's responsible for the tone of his campaign, he would fire this person.

At some point, we must demand the same accountability from Obama, that has been asked of Sen. Clinton.

This is precisely why Obama is performing so well in the polls. I don't believe it is because Americans are falling in love with Obama's policies (if he even has any policies). It's because he's been painted by the MSM as the candidate who can't be asked the tough questions; who can't be held accountable.

Do we really want another four years of an unaccountable President?
