Johnson County, Kansas decisions are made at Staff level and blessed by the elected part-time 5 hours a week County Commissioners. The go to work 40 hours a week folks are Delegating Accountability to the Commission thus avoiding Responsibility, completely back-asswards. This occurs as a result of no vision or leadership, ie: collective vote of JoCo BOCC creating a herd mentality looking for a leader to follow. I have nothing less than total respect for County Staff and their efforts in the absence of leadership.

A President can Delegate Responsibility to a Cabinet Secretary. The President retains Accountability.
The White House claims the President did not know or participate in the following debacles:
-
Not investigate New Black Panther charges 2008 Elections
- Not investigate 2008 ACORN Election fraud charges
-
Fast and Furious (Weapons to Mexican Cartels)
-
Benghazi assassinations
- IRS blocking TEA Party efforts 2010 elections
- IRS sharing private information with the White House
- NSA privacy violations
- Blocking access to WWII veterans while allowing access of protesters to Memorials
- Selectively inflicting pain to certain groups during the “shutdown” including active military families
- implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare)
I am sure there are many more but this is what comes to mind now. No one has lost their job and no one is holding Obama ACCOUNTABLE because “he did not know”.
Looking at the current status of Chicago, one can only guess Obama was piss poor at that also.
