Even if you are technically correct it is still unrealistic. A salesman may embarrass his company and, yes, the CEO is technically responsible. Yet, to think that the CEO can monitor all that happens in his company is unrealistic. Perhaps it is idealistic but it is still unrealistic. (Yeah, I know the drill. The CEO hires the VP of Sales who hires the Sales Manager who hire the District Manager who hires the Branch Manager who hires the Salesman, so, see it really is the CEO's responsibility. Ain't realistic. Only good for the blame game.)
The point here is that the left is trying to destroy Bush with this little gotcha, just as they did with Trent Lott and tried to do to Santorum. It is a oft-used tactic of theirs and for us, conservative Bush supporters, to sit back and say, "Well, they do have a point. It really is his responsibility to know all the details of everything." just plays into their hands. I ain't going along for the ride.
Good point! This is big-league politics here and we should expect the other side to hit and to hit hard!
Thank you for making this point. I tried to earlier but I abandoned my effort - your analogy is a good one.
Maybe Dan and Cathryn will send you a postcard when they reach that destination called, "the perfect world".
