The Blame Game

LOL, you have to understand that we are a country of no PERSONALLY RESPONSIBILITY. I live in a state that where our former governor left office with a 17% approval rating, and NO ONE would admit to voting for him. Yet, he won his last election by 65%. It is much easier to blame someone else for the mess that we create. No one wants to be told that they screwed up, and that everything is their fault (even if it is). It is much easier to blame someone, than to admit that WE were wrong, and fix the problem.

I would have to agree we are all at blame. What people fail to realize when bashing these presidents is they are human too. They make mistakes. Not to mention they have one of the toughest jobs around. And when it comes to the government period because of all the past fails people are quick to throw the blame at them.

President Truman said it best "The Buck Stops Here". Who is to blame - President Obama, this happened on his watch and how he handles it will show what kind of a leader he is.

I didn't vote - period - so don't look at me. However, the president IS not a one man army. You can't blame him for everything. 9-11 wan't Bush's fault, Christmas day wasn't Obama's fault...there's plenty of blame to go around, but it's not all the fault of the president. The bickering is a big problem, though. It's probably the biggest, in my opinion. I have to wonder that if the voters AND our elected officials had a maturity level that didn't rival a 4 year old's, would we actually come to a reasonable compromise on things? The world will never know.

Don't blame me, I voted for Baldwin.

Yes, it takes a lot, the two houses, the President, and sometimes the judices in the Supreme Court, too. That's what the checks and balances are supposed to be all about. Yes, some people are to blame for voting without knowing and some for not voting. So yes, there is plenty of blame to go around.

What a refreshing and balanced view. I always have known that any one politician cannot be responsible for everything.

Yes, there is plenty of blame to go around. We vote people into office then trust them to make good decisions. However, all too often we fall for slick promises they have no intention of keeping, don't read their views, don't challenge them when we catch them in a lie and worse yet, vote for them because they are attractive--no kidding, people do that!! So we have no one to blame but ourselves, the voters. This blaming of dems and repubs, the bickering and accusations, the whiny president are all because of the way we the people voted.

I don't feel the present president is to blame for the recent terror attempt. I believe in the Bilderbergs and I believe they are to blame for what is happening in this country. We are strong and we have power but if we do nothing then the aristrocrats will take over and we will be doomed. Every president from the very beginning has delt with peeved countrymen. That won't change.

b]Hello my friend TLChimes Ji,[/b] I think President has to think in country's benifits and do according to his wisdom. We all know, that it is a combined efforts, if he / she find helpless the resignation and withdrawing self is an open option. May God bless You and have a great time.

..Hi TLChimes,I feel in the long run, what good does it do to blame any president, when they all, each one in their own way, depend on many factors to help run the country, protect the country and so on. We should hope and pray that we will be protected especially when traveling in planes and working in tall buildings that are hard to evacate quickly. We are living in perilous times and we are targeted as the bad guy, for what ever reason. To politicize on either side is to no avail. What Mr. Cheney does whenever he feels like it, is very close to being a traitor. Especially when 9/11 happened on his watch, and he wants to be such a hawk now, but refused to go to Vietnam five times, if I am correct. My sister and I were talking about the attempts to blow planes up and it is my thought is that there are so many ways that I could think up to get on a plane, and be destructive if I didn't care about dying, and was as crazed as they are, it is not funny. But it is going to take the Lord to protect us, if these crazy people want to do us harm, all the detectors in the world cannot stop the zealous, evil mindset of these extremists. Prayer and hope and wishing the people well, who are trying to stop them is so much better than pointing fingers. We also need more and better intelligence to find these people before they get to the end point. We are we, and they are not us. Take care and hope for a better New Year.
