People here are missing the point. Trump did not take responsibility for an action taken under his watch. If you read the article, it presents cases where former Presidents assumed responsibility for anything done on their watch, no matter when it was planned. Trump shifted responsibility, as most weasels will do.

 

 

I get the point regarding accepting responsibility for people under you.  The fact of the matter is, the OP and the article are making a big deal out of nothing.  You know, the whole mountain-mole hill thing.

 

My original three points stand regarding the title of this thread and what the topic is about.

 

1.  It was a special forces operation.  Sometimes [BAD WORD REMOVED] happens.
 
2.  The mission was planned before Trump even became President.
 
3.  He didn't blame Obama.
 
Those three points are FACT and refute the claim that the President "got a guy killed and blames 0bama".
 
There is a lot that goes into planning and executing a special operations mission like this.  Where is the real fault/blame?  Bad intelligence?  Poor timing?  Poor execution?  The bottom line as I said is that sometimes [BLEEP] happens in an operation like this.  Accepting responsibility is one thing, accepting blame is another.
