What ever happened to.....?

Revelation that CIA Director Leon Panetta drafted a memo that would’ve been used to absolve President Obama of blame had the mission to kill Osama bin Laden failed was labeled “no big deal” by Presidential Press Secretary Jay Carney. Targeted to take the fall was Naval Special Operations Commander Adm. Bill McRaven.
“Protecting the president is ‘job #1′ for everyone working for the federal government,” Carney contended. “The president is the essential man in our government. Everyone else is expendable. I mean, who’s ever heard of McRaven? Would it be the end of the world if he were made a scapegoat?”
“Realistically, sacrificing one man’s career is a small price to pay for preserving the president’s credibility,” Carney added. “Taking the blame for your Commander-in-Chief is an obligation that any soldier or sailor should be proud of. He could’ve been asked for a lot more. After all, Secret Service agents are routinely expected to take a bullet for the president. Next to that, being designated a fool or blunderer for a botched mission should be considered a walk in the park.”

Didn’t McRaven father Rielle Hunter’s love child?
What ever happened to.....?
It died when he died.
The buck was not the dollar. The buck was the card dealing box at card playing tables. IOW the president deals the cards and controls the game.
“The Buck never got here.” or “The Buck gets passed here.”
The sign on Truman’s desk stated “The Buck tops Here”. and the sign on mac daddies desk states, “If it work I accept all the credit but if it fails it is never my fault”.
There is the difference between a man of charector and a man whose life is a phony image.

I agree. The fact that Obama has once again proven himself to be a spineless, gutless wimp, ready to dump blame on anyone convenient, is no big deal. Anyone who didn’t figure that out four years ago is more than a bit slow. Anyone who doesn’t know it by now needs to be institutionalized.
Almost had me too. But there are a lot of news stories where I expect to see your semi-satire byline, and they turn out to be true!
