This is an added note. After writing this post and reading it, it occurred to me it would be a good thing for you to know why I wrote it. I just heard on the radio, in his voice, say that he could and did delegate responsibilities to Kamala. I think he should have have said that he delegated the authority

———————————————————————————–

Don’t understand, Joe. How do you do that? As young marine I was taught from the day I entered to nine years later, responsibility cannot be delegated. The instant Old Joe took the oath of office, he took on the responsibility and the only way out is to resign. Even then, Old Joe is still responsible for each and every decision he made, or decided not to make. Indeed, sometimes deciding not to decide is a decision.

Nonetheless, the saying to remember is this, You can delegate authority all you want. However, the responsibility is always yours. That can never be delegated, ever, no matter how he tries. It is as President Truman said, the buck stops at the oval office. In this case Truman was referring to the responsibility as the buck. I guess that makes him the last democrat to ever accept responsibility to vigorously hold onto his responsibility to all his decisions, even the bad ones.

It is a sad state of affairs, literally, that anyone assuming the responsibilities of president doesn’t understand how that works. It is a sorry thing that Old Joe is unwilling to jealously hold onto and claim his his decisions from the beginning. This in itself, if nothing else makes Old Joe a very poor example of a president. It even makes him a poor example of a man.

If you really think about it, the leaders who were most respected were those that made decisions and stood by them. No one likes to hear excuses. No one likes to hear, “He did it, not me.”

One of the things that I learned while in the Marines was that I am a poor leader. However, I never tried blaming others. When I made mistakes I owned them.
