Which cabinet member creates the greatest burden on Obama?

[Tiggeroshii]

If we can blame the administration's failures on a single person working for Obama, who would it be?

[tomg]

1. I went with Geitner, but

it was tough. They are all pretty miserable, and, as a teacher, I was wondering why that miserable creep Arne Duncan wasn't in the mix.

2. I went with Geithner,

but Eric Holder is an impediment, as well.

3. I prefer to blame the employer over the employee.

[Carolina]

7. Ditto, BHO chose them all!

And that speaks volumes

[MNBrewer]

8. Ditto, ditto.

And has chosen to retain their services over the course of the last 3 years.

4. Obama. He chose them

and the blame for "their" failures lies with him.

5. When a sports team fails they fire the coach

You do realize that this is not something anyone even remotely intelligent or honest would do, right?

The US government has millions of employees in practically every country in the world. The idea that one person or even one agency bears the blame for the "administration's failures" (whatever those may be since you did not specify) is the height of absurdity.

However, you do get points for the hilarious responses upthread...

11. Agreed. The premise is nonsensical.

A big strip of flypaper on which the "Obama sucks!" responses have fittingly stuck.

:rofl:

12. It is such a weird question! And the responses are hilarious

The question is specifically asked "which Cabinet member is the greatest burden on Obama" which of course results in a sea of folks whose dislike of the president overrides all else chiming in with nonsense. So instead of actually answering the question at hand, they immediately go to the old standby -- OBAMA. Apparently, Obama is the cabinet member that is the greatest burden to himself. Only on DU, man...

Even though it is done frequently, in reality, no one person can be blamed for the "failures" of an administration just as no one person can be given the credit for all of its successes. It would have helped if the OP had specified which "failures" they were talking about though.

13. If the flypaper fits

wear it.

To coin a phrase.

[BlueIris]

14. Panetta.

:hide:

15. I would have to say Geithner, but Holder comes in close second.

:(
