[Harmless Teddy Bear]

there has been plenty of politician's since then who have allowed what he did to this nation to continue without any pushback whatsoever.

Accurate.

Does not remove his responsibility.

[Robert DeLong]

How about the responsibility of the citizens, are they blameless in your opinion?

You see it's the responsibility of the citizens to be active participants in the success of the nation by the decision process used to select our leaders. From my observation, the choosing of our leaders has been a personality contest when picking those leaders. Instead of paying attention to their promises & comparing the results realized.

In other words, we get what we deserve, instead of what we need.
