Is anyone naive enough to believe that these people run for office for the good of the country?
The only real choice we have is, which gang of thieves will do the least damage?

BB yes. Just as everything that happens aboard a ship is the responsibility of the Captain, the president is responsible for everything that happens on his watch.Either he knows what is going on, or he doesn't. If he does he should deal with it. If he doesn't, he should.
