Accelerated Buck Passing Ahead Gil Gutknecht Posted:Feb 06, 2022
Buck passing is a time-honored tradition in American politics. A former Minnesota Governor once wryly observed that successful leaders have perfected the ability to take credit for things that they don’t deserve and avoid the blame for those things which they do.Harry Truman had a sign on his desk that famously said, “The Buck Stops Here.” By the time Mr. Biden arrived at the Oval Office that sign was long gone. Rumor has it that Donald Trump had a sign that read, “I kick buck and take names! (You got a problem with that?)” The current clueless Commodore of our ship of state should have a sign that reads, “C’mon Man…What Buck? (You S.O.B.)”
There is not enough space in this column to discuss all the boneheaded decisions that this President has made since assuming office. About the only thing that this administration has done right is actually something that they haven’t done. At least not yet. They haven’t taken the Trump tariffs off Chinese imports. Even if it means we have to pay a little more for certain things, bringing more jobs and shorter supply lines back to America is worth it. Give Biden credit.
On virtually every other front this crew has earned the abysmal approval ratings that Americans are giving them. There is a reason Brandon has become the least popular name for American baby boys.
