Who will get the blame?

Question

So there are a bunch of small hick towns in Alaska getting millions for uncessecary airports because of the Stimulus package. I'm wondering who will get the most blame (Palin) or Obama.

  Obama is the sitting POTUS and it's his Stimulus package. Palin was the Gov. of Alaska until recently and had oversight on how the money in her state would be spent. She's also a Rep leader and the still a huge icon that gets praise or derision (depending on what party you belong). 

  So who will get the blame for this money being wasted (sorry if you live in those towns, it's still a waste). Will it be the guy at the top, or the woman who left office?

J · Accepted Answer

House and Senate for passing it.  Obama for signing it into law.

A a Governor, Palin wouldn't have the power to write that legislation, vote on that legislation or sign it ino law. 

Also in response to one of the answers - People blame governors for earmarks because they don't understand how government works.  Governor's can not put earmarks in bills nor can they vote on bills that have earmarks in them.  They can tell the representatives what the needs are, but that's it.

The woman who left office recently is to blame.  She was instrumental in getting the money and approving the airport project.  Remember her "bridge to nowhere?"

The highest office in the land (pres) is where the buck stops....and he ain't stopp'in it.   He's ultimately responsible for the cash.
