When's the last time you saw a President say the words, "The buck stops with me" or "It's my responsibility" ?

http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/03/18/obama.economy/index.html -- OUR President said that.

There are people out there who would doom President Obama to fail in his mission. I don't agree with every move he makes -- but I also really appreciate the transparency and honesty and RESPONSIBILITY that I see coming from this President -- and I dare anyone to show me a recent president with the same level of acceptance of the task before him and a better approach to it. If you say Bush, Bush, Clinton, Reagan or Carter, you're out of your gourd. How about Nixon or JFK? Nope. Maybe Lincoln. 144 years ago, 28 presidents, and 36 presidential terms ago -- can you think of someone else who's dealt as well with a bevy of misery with such strength?

If you're a hater, feel free to paste your ignorant vitriol -- but know that we're going to see through it as the rhetoric that it is. Until you can present a better solution with a higher likelihood of success, do the world a favor and cork it, eh?
