Letter: Responsibility

To the editor:

Harry S Truman: “The buck stops here.”

Barack Obama: “I didn’t set a red line; the world set a red line. My credibility is not on the line. The international community’s credibility is on the line. And America and Congress’ credibility is on the line.”

To which of these commanders in chief would you be willing to entrust the welfare of your children or grandchildren — the one who accepts personal responsibility, or the one who assigns it to everyone else?
