. . . send messages through one or the other to various federal agencies and players for which Obama is not personally accountable.

That is Klain's precise purpose. It reflects a fundamental corruption of the executive branch.

The framers argued long and hard over the structure of this new office. They considered multiple execs, privy councils and rejected them all in favor of one man, a Unitary Executive. One man was to be responsible for the executive branch.

By this, we avoided the possibility of a president who took on the prerogatives of a king. English kings could not be held responsible for crown mistakes, but their ministers could and often paid for them with their lives.

Unlike kings, the American President was not to be unimpeachable. Unlike kings, the President alone was to be responsible for the executive branch.

So where are we now? Nothing is allowed to be Obama's fault. Not only is our president unimpeachable and not held responsible for anything, even his ministers (Lois Lerner, Eric Holder, etc.) are untouchable as well!!!

This is constitutional corruption of the highest order that has no precedent in American or English history. It is precursor to an American mindset that will soon openly accept a police state.

“Unlike kings, the American President was not to be unimpeachable. Unlike kings, the President alone was to be responsible for the executive branch.”

Good going, great point and well written.

Obama utterly failed in his most basic responsibility, to keep America safe. He is the Chief Executive in charge. Ebola was a known threat. His policies allowed it to come to the US. Obama cannot hide behind congress, or behind some bureaucrat. Obama owns this miserable failure. May his soul burn in hell.
