In a local interview with WJLA, President Obama urges Mitt Romney to say that he was running Bain Capital after 1999, though Romney insists he did not actively manage the company at that time. "Well, here's what I know, we were just talking about responsibility and as president of the United States, it's pretty clear to me that I'm responsible for folks who are working in the federal government and you know, Harry Truman said the buck stops with you," Obama said.
Now, my understanding is that Mr. Romney attested to the SEC, multiple times, that he was the chairman, CEO and president of Bain Capital and I think most Americans figure if you are the chairman, CEO and president of a company that you are responsible for what that company does.
Ultimately Mr. Romney, I think, is going to have to answer those questions, because if he aspires to being president one of the things you learn is, you are ultimately responsible for the conduct of your operations, but again that's probably a question that he's going to have to answer and I think that's a legitimate part of the campaign.
What a MORON!!!! And the Lame media thinks he’s the SMARTEST person EVER!!
Just like Truman.
Truman was always going around saying, "It's all Prescott Bush's fault."
LIE! Harry Truman said the buck stops here. Comeon Obama, tell the truth!
Obama’s “The buck stops with you” is right up there with Al Gore’s translation of “e pluribus unum” as “out of one, many”, instead of “out of many, one.” It shows left-oriented cluelessness of historical knowledge, as well as the willingness to try to twist any iconic saying or event to their own advantage.
When an executive of a company takes a leave of absence, he issues a notice to the firm that he is delegating decision-making authority to someone else. Period. They are not leaving the company as they are only removing themselves from making decisions or involving themselves in the operations of the company. They are no longer “leading” the company during their absence. Heck, executives do this notice when they take a vacation.
This is standard practice and not nefarious in any way.
The dems would know this IF they ever had a real job in the real world.
Sheesh. . .
Gotta watch it to believe it. The press just sat there...
Unbelievable! How can this clown get away with lies like this and no one has the stones to call him out. Jesus! Somebody grow a pair and throw down the gauntlet.
The buck doesn’t stop with Obama. Heck, it doesn’t even slow down.
>>> (Obama quote) I’m responsible for folks who are working in the federal government ....
Mr. Boneheaded President, how about the rest of Americans?
Don’t you represent and also are responsible for ALL Americans?
