But the "buck stops here" is what the Pres. office is all about.
These are HIS people in charge of stuff.
Eventually the LEADER has to take responsibility. Especially on the "Insurance-Care" debacle.
That has been touted as his "signature" and what will be his legacy.
Now if you are going to do something that big and change the way our country operates...then don't you think you MIGHT want to be a little more hands on?
I'm not sure at this point if the man is "hands on" with anything at all.
Maybe the most disconnected Pres. since Ronald Reagan.
The difference I see is that Reagan had people around him who were extremely competent and all pretty much had a focused direction (whether you agree with that direction or not).
Obama seems to be surrounded by people who don't SEEM to be very competent at all.
And they are definitely not on the same page. Especially his allies in Congress and The Senate.
My senator Harry Reid is a perfect example of a money grabbing/pork barrel spending politician who is an embarrassment. He is out for nothing but whatever federal money he can get to funnel back to his cronies here in Nevada. Not the people of Nevada...but his billionaire friends.
Obama isn't paying attention. And his staff and allies all seem to have their own agendas.
Maybe he has a few loyal people who are focused on his policies. But I don't see them being very effective (probably the incompetent ones)
As has been said in the past: The guy has never worked a real job (always on the govt. teat) and has no experience as an adult in the "real" world.
I have a feeling that he surrounds himself with the same exact kind of people.
Bunch of pointy headed elite academic types. lol
