President Obama: The Buck Stops With Me

No one was held accountable for ignoring red flags about Ft Hood, no one will be held accountable for the Detroit attack.
More talk from Obama that is an attempt to look like he is actually doing something.
Why would Obama fire the people he hired specifically because they think just like him.
He’s weak and soft on terrorist. The terrorist know it.
No amount of tough talk can hide it.

Hey Tapper…why didn’t you or any of the other poodles ask why if we’re in a war with Al Qadeda…why the hell are we putting them in the criminal justice system?
I guess ya’ll just forgot…right?

Jake,
For awhile I thought you were a straight up guy, a real anomaly of a reporter. As a consistent viewer of your tweets and blog posts, I have however come to the conclusion that you are a consistent apologist, supporter and defender for an unsupportable and indefensible president. You take a tough line occasionally, just enough to appear unbiased, but when it comes down to it, you are always giving Obama et al the benefit of the doubt, or straight up taking their side. This “buck stop here” is a perfect example. Obama did not say squat that mattered, and more importantly, has done nothing to change his policies that clearly communicate his unseriousness about the war on terror (or, for his/your benefit war on manmade disasters).

“The buck stops with me.”
I wish he would say that about the economy.

Our government may have failed in connecting the dots in the Fort Hood incident on November 5. The dots regarding major Nidal Hanar, the killer, are 1. he had very awkward, anti-America attitude when working in Walter-Reed for six years. 2. he has connections with radical Muslim friends while frequently attending the Muslim religion activities, 3. he has numerous email contacts with radical jihadist cleric in Yemen. 4. he purchased a high power pistol in a Texas gun shop for mass killing, which should be known to the government.

No. The NRA and Republicans have fought VERY hard to ensure that the government would not have that data. The ATF is statutorily barred from sharing records of a gun purchase, unless this information is needed as part of an on-going investigation. Merely being on a terrorist watch list is not adequate. No national security agent would be notified about a gun purchase unless a suspect’s name is presented with enough evidence to make the information irrelevant. Thanks NRA!

I’m beginning to wonder if some of the posters here aren’t avatars of the White House War Room. They always come back with perfectly worked well spun replies which completely fly in the face of the facts of the current situation.
I’ve heard there are companies (contractors) you can hire to manage your on-line identity. They monitor blogs such as this and respond to any criticism with carefully worded spin in your favor.
If so, I wonder who that would be….

I’ve heard there are people called republicans who no matter what is said or written will lie about the subject matter, amazingly you don’t have to hire anyone to have this kind of ‘service’

That the buck stops with Obama is meaningless girly-man prattle, all the Liar-in-Chief knows how to do.

Got to admit, even if he is BSing us with cliches that this is a first step in actually manning up and taking responsibility.
And he seems to have connected the dots on where the breakdown was in this case, namely that it was the handling of the information as it came in and made it’s way through the system.
Regardless some people need top be fired and bring in management that are going to make sure this is never going to happen again – since it shouldn’t have happened in the first place. This President seems reluctant to do this which smells of weakness (not just to us but our enemies as well).

Actually that is all the little man-child has done now is start talking tough. By his and others actions you would think they are all in a day-care center. There are no adults in charge.

that’s similar to the line the Bush folks used as a slam against Clinton, how did that work for america, all those ‘adults’ ?
republican motto:
judge us by what we say, not what we do

Who’s he kidding? The buck never stops with him.It stops with Bush or someone he can fire but not him.

Oh yeah, “whatever”. Just EXACTLY what else should our current President take responsibility for? For a recession that started in 2007? For the tens of millions of real American jobs that were exported to cheap foreign labor as our economy created a paltry 5 million new jobs in 8 years? Or how about starting two pre-emptive wars?
Every president inherits cans kicked down the road. For insight about just how dysfunctional our intell has grown, check out “The Human Factor: Inside the CIA’s Dysfunctional Intelligence Culture” by Ishmael Jones.

As the buck stops with you and you almost got nearly 300 people killed, then, you should do the right thing – resign from your responsibilities.

I didn’t see Bush resign when approx 3000 people WERE killed on his watch.
The buck on 9/11 stops with Bush.
