The sign on Harry Truman's desk read, "The Buck Stops Here".
The innovators in our age or in any age, dared to dream big, dared to take risks and when those risks paid off, they reaped the profit from the chances they took. The Two Steves who started Apple and Bill Gates, who started Microsoft are noteworthy examples. The life of the late Steve Jobs is an inspiration to many people including me because he wasn't afraid to fail and he kept on going until he died. The world is less somehow without him.
Neither of the examples that I cited were people who took government hand-outs in order to build their commercial empires, both of which have changed the world.
It's something to ponder when you hear the President of the United States blame everyone for his dismal failures and for his morally bankrupt administration. Hand-outs and stimulus did not build the nation in the first place and they will not lead to its repair.

Now the buck stops with the guy - or gal - who writes stuff on the TelePrompTer. I'm waiting for obama to pass blame to that invisible person. " I didn't do it. I just read it."
I'm so sick of his blame game. He's done nothing but point fingers and blame everyone but himself. The buck does not nor will it ever stop with him.
Have a terrific day. :)
