Were this a Navy command with the Pres as CO, he would still be held accountable for the actions of those under him. This is one of the most basic tenants of responsibilities even junior Petty Officers learn through experience or training. It's comforting to know that we hold ourselves to higher standards than the pols, usually.<br /><br />As much of a buffoonery as the Executive office has become, I find it difficult to believe they didn't know of a Congress-critter's ineligibility to serve on an advisory board.

His story has gotten some play in Illinois news. It hasn't reached the level of getting much national coverage because it does not have national implications. A WH covering up a potential felony seems to get a little more interest than some liberal congressman (Kirk) inflating his resume.<br /><br />No one here cares that the president is of mixed race ethnicity. Most of us have problems with some of his policy decisions. People will not take you seriously when you throw out accusations of racism with no foundation. Similarly, no one takes you too seriously when the best screen name your imagination can create is anon.Largebillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-8408815544943775902010-06-06T16:11:22.000-04:002010-06-06T16:11:22.000-04:00URR, You're correct about that.

Also, are you implying that any criticism of the President must now be rejected as "racist"? <br /><br />The Sestak "deal" was poorly handled by a White House that should have known better by this point in their administration. My guess is that they promised Specter that they'd "clear the decks" of any primary opposition and were fulfilling that promise. What they didn't expect is that Sestak wasn't going to go along with the deal. My problem with the whole thing is that they didn't admit to it right away but, rather, got wrapped around the axle trying to get their story straight. Not the "new politics" many were expecting when they voted for Obama.C-dore 14noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-77801755864789268062010-06-06T15:00:55.000-04:002010-06-06T15:00:55.000-04:00MTH, Got my first pair via our LAMPS Det OinC when...MTH, Got my first pair via our LAMPS Det OinC when I was an XO and wore them until the elastic gave out. The CAG in AMERICA got me my second, which lasted through my last two deployments. Will continue to wear my flight jacket (which still sports the DESRON patch) until it falls apart.
