Who gets the blame if it all falls apart?

Sadie sent along the following which got me to thinking.  Is McCain right that it is the Republicans, not the president who will get the blame if things fall apart completely?  I saw a recent poll in which the public put the blame on both sides equally, but I’m afraid the president has positioned himself pretty well.  What do you think? 

 

Here’s Sadie’s contribution:

…JOHN McCAIN. This cretin got the nomination in 2008 – We better be VERY careful who gets it the next time.

I think we need some way of separating the RINO’s from real conservatives. How about a list of questions or such. Applicants for POTUS will have to check off and sign on the dotted line before getting the stamp of approval.

You could solicit a list from the readers with multiple choice questions,too.  (tongue-in-cheek snarky questions get extra credit).

Example:

You’re a wannabe POTUS. Iran has threatened to wipe you off the planet.

Do you:

a) ignore it.
b) complain to the UN and search for common ground with an out-reach program.
c) take the Iranian President, hold him hostage the next time he shows up in NYC.

Take the high and humorous road or the take the fork in the road with serious questions or both?!

Unmitigated Arrogance And Gall On Display

July, 27, 2011 —  

The grumpy old guy has gone off the reservation again.
John McCain, is quoted in the New York Times berating the Tea Party Republicans for having the temerity to not play the Washington game of doing the same old thing, and declaring it something different.
Mr. McCain mocked Tea Party-allied Republicans in the House for believing — wrongly, he said — that President Obama and Democrats will get the blame for a default if Republicans refuse to increase the nation’s debt ceiling.
