— Ace A lot of people are impressed by this:
“I am less interested in passing out blame than I am in learning from and correcting these mistakes to make us safer. For ultimately, the buck stops with me. … When the system fails, it is my responsibility.”
I'm not, and was talking about it with cobloggers (similarly unimpressed) and figured why talk about it in email.
He dodged responsibility for a week. He minimized it and claimed it was just an independent actor, unconnected to anything bigger, even when it was pretty firmly established it was Al Qaeda.
I don't think he made this statement because he believes it, or because he wanted to. I think he made this statement because polling and focus-groups told him that if he didn't make it, he was risking an even bigger loss in his poll numbers than anything he'd seen before.
So it's a case -- I am 99% confident -- of "doing the right thing when there are no other options left."

Obama is claiming the buck stops with him? Hallelujah, he's finally coming around!
I mean, it's not as if he'd just recite a bunch of words, just because they're put in front of him. He must be truly sincere this time!

B is the only important thing. A is just chosen because it's supposed to be causal to B.
But he says it anyway, because that's what people have made/allowed him to do his entire life. So that he can shake people down. Saying "The buck stops with me," doesn't mean anything because it's not meant to. It's a placeholder for what people expect to hear, it doesn't have any relationship to any buck stopping with him.

yeah i was wondering too, what was so shocking about this... unless you watch msnbo or took obama at his word that this was a lone wolf.
i hate to pose the question but do these guys have any clue. i thought that was the reason for the Homeland security, dont all agencies kinda answer to them and feed them the info so they can connect the dots. is this the dems 9/11? are they now paying attention...i mean.. hooooollllyyyyyy shit

I'm not impressed by the president's talk either, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Mainly because I have to.
Really: Either Barack Obama does his job or no one does his job for another three years. And if he does his job reluctantly and begrudgingly, that's better than not doing it at all (I think).

At least ACTING as if to do the right thing when all else fails.
But no one trusts Obama, the transparent liar.
He never follows up on "good" promises.

I am surprised no one is giving him a hard time about the old "Hillary at 3 AM" campaign ad. She would have been ON this thing!

Hey Barry - if you're taking responsibility for what went wrong with national security, you're going to have to take responsibility for what's going wrong with the economy, too. Don't think the American people won't see it, we will, and we will assign blame accordingly.
And with the fall of the dollar's value, basically it should be "The 67 cents stop here".

I politely disagree. His job as he sees it is to destroy America (an evil racist country with an evil racist past) and remake it into a socialist utopia complete with reparations and free swag for grievance mongerers. I would rather he stick to golfing in Hawaii, flying aroung the world to accept awards, and hobnobbing with celebutards instead of trying to meet and greet and make deals with thug dictators, increasing our national debt and generally running our country into the ground.

I wonder if Obama might be finally coming to terms with the fact that maybe, just maybe, his massive ego and magical unicorn powers didn't do anything to dissuade terrorists. All those magnificent speeches he gave where he was treated like a rock star didn't mean a single fucking thing. I wonder if he's starting to get that?

President Barney Fife can go fuck himself. my neighbors, the gun hating pacifists, do a better j*b of protecting me, because they at least call to let me know if they see something suspicious, so i can act on it. this mendoucheous twatwaffle and all his minions ignored information that would have prevented the event.
if they are incompetent, they should all be fired forthwith, and the First Failure should resign or be impeached. if it was deliberate, they should be tried for treason, and, upon conviction, be hung by the neck until dead. fuck them all.

1) The system worked
2) He was a lone nut, not related to anything
3) we should downplay our response, so I wonÂ’t respond
4) It was a fault of the previous administration sending Gitmo releases to Yemen (blame Bush).
5) the system failed, and we inherited it and will now work to fix it (blame Bush).
6) The buck stops hereÂ… eventually. Since you guys seem to not like my previous several answers to this question.

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Two former Blackwater employees have been charged with the murder of two Afghans in Kabul last year and could face the death penalty, the Justice Department said Thursday.
Justin Cannon, 27, of Corpus Christi, Texas, and Christopher Drotleff, 29, of Virginia Beach, Virginia, have been charged with second-degree murder following the shooting deaths of the two Afghan nationals.
They were also charged with attempted murder, after a third person was wounded in the Kabul incident on May 5, when Cannon and Drotleff were working as contractors for the Department of Defense in Afghanistan.

So if we are at war, why are we prosecuting KSM in civilian court?
So that he may stand trial for vandalism, negligent homicide, conspiracy to commit arson, and criminal mischief.
(Why? What do you think he did that would warrant a different kind of court?)

Obama didn't tell intelligence officials to dramatically change what they're doing. Instead, he told them to do it better, and faster. He left it to them to figure out how.
Clearly aware of the potential political fallout, Obama struck a tough tone toward the anti-terror fight, taking the rare step — for him — of calling it a "war."
The White House is anxious to resolve and move beyond the issue, which threatens to damage the president politically and distract further from his agenda.This is what it's all about. Not going after terrorists but limiting any political damage by making a few vague statements that the media will spin as Barry getting tough. I'm sure that al Qaeda is shaking in its boots over Barry's tough new language. Shaking with laughter.

The most emotion I've ever heard in his voice was when he said "But what we do know is that the cops acted stupidly." He was pissed.

"janet harman on Fox trying to justify uysing spy satelites to look at icebergs for AGW lies by saying we need to track them because drought causes terrorists to migrate and AGW causes droughts. "
Oh yeah, that makes sense. Lessee......Al Qaeda has migrated from the lush Waziristan jungles drying out from AGW , south to the still-lush jungles of Yemen.

petite
he so wanted to be big and bad and a fighter like the rest of us but, alas
We had all known each other since grade school so we let him hang out
and we did our best to protect him from the more unsavory elements.
He had a problem with wanting to be tough too and would let his words
be the only sign of said toughness
He got himself into a pickle with his tough talk one night when he was alone
I visit his grave every time I'm on that side of town.
Obama is a tough talker too
Only the grave he's digging is ours

“I am less interested in passing out blame than I am in learning from and correcting these mistakes to make us safer. For ultimately, the buck stops with me. … When the system fails, it is my responsibility.”
Is he talking about sending the underwear bomber to Gitmo for waterboarding to find out whom the plot leaders are, and who the terrorists are who he trained with. Or is he talking about profiling known muslems for secondary screening by the T.S.A.? My 85 year old mother was stripped searched by those bastards, just so they could be policically correct. I am very confused by the Ones speach.

So I guess this means they will apologize to Bush because SOFB, in light of 9/11, the agencies responsible for our safety dropped the ball, too-the same ones that dropped the ball under the Pied Piper!! And wow, gee he covered all their asses, to save his own. It is still all about him.
It's hard to be a real President and pretend that you give a shit, when you really don't.
