Obama: the buck stops with....you. Meaning Romney. Or Hillary. Not me.

  So Hillary Clinton goes in front of a camera and says, "I take responsibility" just like Janet Reno did when the Branch Davidian Waco complex blew up.
  At the time, I was impressed with Reno's truthfulness, but then when I realized, "Oh. Ain't nothin' gonna happen to that man/chick, it occurred to me it was all a clever ruse. Saying such a thing evidently inoculates a politician from any true responsibility, especially if she/he is a female/male of Democrat persuasion.
  So I was wondering what Hillary was going to do when things heated up yesterday.
  I actually think what she did was pretty brilliant, even if it meant that no one really took responsibility for the murders (though four years ago she said the buck stops with the presidency) and there would be no consequences to pay for having ignored the security problems in Libya at the time.
  Watch this video and marvel. Note the really, really tough questions the press asks that Obama chooses to answer: Are you ready for tonight? Are you aware Michelle voted for you?
  And then the bomb.
  Is Hillary responsible for Benghazi?

  Then YOWZA.
  He doesn't answer.
  And he looks like an A$$, as Rush pointed out today.
  Mr. Smiley turns out to be a real chicken when it comes to facing reality.
  So what does Obama do?
  Does he say himself, "Well, the buck stops with me"?
  Or does he let Hillary hang out there in the wind?
  Let's remember that there were numerous (230) incidents of violence against the Libya consulate and State Department security had warned that the potential for violence was HIGH, even to the point of local Libyan security personnel being extremely worried about the Sept. 11 date.
  Now after the murder of 4 Americans, Obama suddenly has forgotten that Harry Truman said, "The buck stops with'....you."
  Wait. Did Truman say that?
  Funny. Obama did, though.
  Mitt Romney is responsible for the conduct of his operations in Bain, even years after he left the company.
  Apparently the same does not hold true for Obama.
  Huh. Watch and wonder.
