Do you agree with Obama's spokesman that Obama shares no blame for the failures of his intelligence agencies?

    OMG...this man takes no responsibility for anything. He is the President. That means the buck stops at his door period. Get a grip Obama, you are in the big leagues now ! People are depending on your expertise to keep them safe.

    I guess it does raise the question: if Bush can be blamed for 9/11 (8 months into his presidency) why is Obama not responsable for this? I mean, if Liberals are to be consistant, wouldn't they think that way?

    No one has given me ANY reason to think it was in any way Obama's fault.

    No one has explained ANY policy or decision of Obama's responsible for any intelligence failure.

    Thus, unlike wing-nuts, I don't blame people for things they didn't do; I blame people for things they DID do, or failed to do.

    I see a lot more successes from the current intelligence work than failures. For instance, under Bush, drones were used to murder civilians in Pakistan. Under Obama, intelligence is used so that the drones are mostly targetting terrorists, especially terrorist leaders.

    Just to give ONE example.

    The biggest failure to act on intelligence information remains Bush's ignoring the warnings about 9/11.

    what will the libs. do when they can no longer find someone to blame for the OBAMA F**K ups blaming bush is getting pretty lame. it just shows how desperate they are to keep OBAMA out of the spot light. when will that jerk start taking responsibility for the office HE holds.

    No, Obama is responsible for it all. He hasn't got the guts to take the responsibility of his own undoing.

    How could the messiah ever be blamed for anything? Everything is always Bush's fault.

    Well if that is true, then the same can be said of Bush and the WMD.
