I agree. The buck always stops with the president and ultimately he/she will get the blame at the end of the day. I guess my comment was meant to explain a phenomena that can be both frustrating and consoling. I'd call it a way to comment without taking sides- a classic cop-out on my part.

anyway, a part of me keeps saying we all should have known better. Afterall, the country was sold on the idea that this President wasn't some intellectual know-it-all. He was a straight talking, brush clearing, semi-literate cowboy who would not shame the office by having sex with the help. Heck, cable TV news boasted about how this guy was someone you could sit down and have a beer with. As if that's a reasonable reason to vote for a person. So, we really should have expected him to make a series of bad decisions when faced with a difficult and complex situation.

The one thing that frustrates me about the last 6 years is how apathetic our country really is. With all the scandal, graft, spying on Americans, torture, politicization of non-politic institutions, etc. we as a whole seem unwilling to get off our butts to scream, "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!"
