In Obama’s White House, the Buck Stops Nowhere
Yahoo! News ^ | 5/22/14 | Ed Morrissey -The Fiscal Times

What does it take to get fired from a job in the Barack Obama administration?

Only in this White House could a Cabinet Secretary get not just one but two public presidential statements of confidence as internal documents emerge showing that an agency knew about fraud, and left the problem to such an extent that people died while waiting for medical care.

This administration has long had trouble holding itself accountable for its failures, perhaps especially for the more spectacular disasters. ..

Despite her failure to oversee the Obama administration’s central domestic policy achievement and to know that it would not be ready by its launch date, neither Sebelius nor anyone else lost their job over the debacle. Sebelius retired last month after more than five years on the job.

At least in that failure, no one died. When the State Department ignored months of warnings about the vulnerability of its consulate in Benghazi to terrorist attacks, ..

For reasons that are still unexplained, neither the State Department nor the Department of Defense were prepared to respond to an attack on an obvious date in a location where the now-murdered ambassador had repeatedly requested more security – and whose requests were repeatedly denied by State Department officials. Even though four Americans lost their lives during an hours-long attack with no assistance from supposedly unprepared US forces, including the first ambassador killed in the line of duty since the Jimmy Carter administration, not a single person in the State or Defense Departments lost their jobs, or even a single paycheck.

Now we have a scandal in which at least forty veterans have allegedly died while waiting for medical care in one VA facility in Phoenix, which hid their long wait times by falsifying records. ...

‘The Buck’ gets cashed in this November and 2016.

More than a few are responsible for the debacles we witness daily.. as well as the excuses .. and lies..

If a majority of voters are wanting to continue a reign of domestic and foreign terror on freedoms and liberties world wide.. Vote Dem.

If you’re as tired as I of the travesties being visited on this nation of free peoples by of activists armies and sworn enemies.. Vote your conscience.

After all, standards are nothing more than unjust roadblocks erected by privileged white men.

Truman had class. They say, upon leaving office, he drove his personal car home to Missouri (hopefully taking Mrs Truman with him).

“The buck stops here “ , is such a passe concept for pikers.

The Obama and the Democrats set their sights much higher

In the Obama Administration we are talking Trillions of dollars and these Trillions go towards payoffs to big campaign donors, Chicago style pay to play schemes at the Federal Level, payoffs to Unions, outright graft and corruption, and ,last but not least, massive support for Americas enemies - especially the Muslim Brotherhood of which Al-Qaeda is a terrorist splinter group formed to provide the Brotherhood with plausible denial of its direct involvement with acts of terror.

The job of the Obama White House is to cover up its involvement with these activities and to obstruct and derail any attempts to investigate and expose Obama’s actions

The buck stops on the gulf course.

If you really mean 'GULF' course then the gulf oil spill was a multi billion dollar pile of obamabucks.

However if you mean "Golf" course then I would guess that he doesn't play more than a $2 Nassau and probably like Alan Harper always forgets to bring his wallet.

Great summary. Should be plastered everywhere. I have to say, I have SOME hope. These are the kind of articles you never used to see.
