'I dont get why everything lies at the foot of the president.'
In the words of Harry Truman:
' The buck stops here'
Yea, personal accountability is a thing of the past. Who was it that coined the term "teflon president". That was about Reagon during Iran contra gate. Oley North ever the good soldier took the heat instead.
If I had a nickel for everytime the media made a reference to Bush being responsible for the war I'd be rich. The fact of the matter is the Senate and House all made it possible. As is the case with most matters foreign and domestic; legislatively speaking of course. The farce is perpetuated by the media and is swallowed whole by an ignorant electorate. Nothing could be that simple.
If we dont get to the bottom of the causes of the housing crisis and the credit economy tanking the lessons are lost. A little bit like a reckless son or daughter who finally figure out money doesnt grow on trees. The regulations that brought about the 40:1 lending practices and the lack of credit worthiness for mortgages lies at the foot of the democrats relaxing the rules and the lenders and borrowers believing in fairy tales. But we'll have to go back to a simpler time and remember people like Truman who said the buck stops here because nobody in this day and age will do it.
