now Obama's getting it for the Gulf oil fiasco.

So who is gonna relieve Obama of command?

Looks like the military and civilians have very different procedures. In the military they can relieve you of command and disgrace you even if it is NOT your fault. In Civilian/Political Service you can cause a mess directly (like Obama is doing) and nothing will happen to you.

even if it is NOT your fault

You need to get that term out of your head when talking about Naval ship Captains. They are always responsible for the ship and it comes with the territory. They know it when they take command and rarely have I heard of one bitching about a raw deal.

Our politicians could take heed of this!
