So in 2010, Obama himself said that the buck stops at his desk on security issues......I guess you can chalf that up to another LIE?

Obama 2010:

Quote:
Well, here’s what I know, we were just talking about responsibility and as president of the United States, it’s pretty clear to me that I’m responsible for folks who are working in the federal government and you know, Harry Truman said the buck stops with you,” he explained in an interview with an ABC News affiliate.

Obama 2010:



Yes, most Presidents admit that ... at the end of the day ... as the CEO of the nation, the final responsibility is his.

So, George W. Bush was personally responsible for the attacks on the World Trade Center buildings on 9/11 and the horrific loss of life, for the changes in our society which followed, and for the hundreds of thousands of needless deaths of our soldiers and innocent residents of Iraq, Afghanistan .. and God only knows where else.

Yes. But Obama isn't running against Bush. His campaign forgets this often enough.

One can always tell when a thread is damning for the Obamatrons.....they are SO predictable!!

1) Attack the messenger (in this case hard because there is a video of Obama saying it)
2) Attack the poster with lame attacks like that he's a paid poster
3) DEFLECT (usually by blaming Bush)
4) PROJECT

Shoot, the electorate doesn't care if Obama changes his mind. His campaign was all about "change" and he has proven he will "change his stance" on what he is and isn't responsible for any time he pleases.

And as someone else mentioned . . . it was easy enough to blame Bush for everything that didn't "work" under Obama's administration . . . at least for the first several years. SO when he said the "buck stopped with the Oval Office" he was really referring to the Oval Office while occupied by GWB, lolololol.
