Re: Taking His Own Sweet Time

Jake Tapper does yeoman’s work in compiling the list of “the staff did it” excuses that Obama has trotted out whenever things go awry. Sometimes staff does mess up, but it seems that a primary complaint from Democrats about George W. Bush was that he was never “accountable.”
After all, Presidents and Presidential candidates hire these people and are supposed to keep an eye on what they are up to. If staff is forever embarrassing the candidate it seems that he has hired poorly or failed to exercise rudimentary supervisory skills. Isn’t Obama the one who keeps telling us “No more Scooter Libby Justice! No more Brownie incompetence!”? Perhaps it’s time for Obama to stop blaming the little people.

Who is this Jake Tapper and why is he still employed by the ABC? This guy has been one of the few in the MSM to actually do his job.

Astute observation, Rubin. President Bush has been accused of being unaccountable for years now, but the same Democrats who point their fingers at him have been giving Senator Obama a free pass for blaming his mistakes on his own supporters. Not that I think they do it deliberately. They’re so blinded by hatred they cant even see their hypocrisy.
They don’t even realize that their saviour would throw any one of them under the bus to further his own ends, or even just to avoid accountability. He’s a typical politician of the worst sort. Amoral, contemptous and deeply insincere.
