No rocket science. Remember What President Truman said. "The buck stops here". How true it is. thanks for the plug for harry,i think he is the most underrated prez. ever.y'know I love triva,did you know that he was the last prez that did not have a college education.also,do you know what the "s" in harry s. Truman stands for?

Oh, there were definitely things about Truman I admire. Probably my favorite was completely unpolitical. I don't remember details, but something about his daughter performing somewhere and a newspaper critic wrote something very unflattering about the performance and Truman went off and basically threatened the guy. Mature, no. Unpresidential, yes. But I like the papa bear protecting his baby girl attitude personally.

I think one of the real problems was MacArthur got too big for his pants. Truman was Commander in Chief, and MacArthur was taking on the role as the Commander and Chief and was going to Attack China without Trumans approval. He was determined to attack China so Truman cut him loose for insubordination.

He made the principled, but highly controversial decision to completely integrate the Armed Forces, with the Dixiecrats having a conniption fit. That took true leadership.

And on a completely different note, Bill Maher - that hate filled darling of the Left, has actually had an epiphany on taxes. I don't know how facts actually managed to penetrate that concrete head of his (I guess the pathway to his brain is through his wallet), but he stated on CNN that "Rich people...actually do pay the freight in this country...like 70% "of the taxes. And he warned California that "I just want to say: Liberals - you could actually lose me....I'm willing to pay my share, but yeah, it's ridiculous." And yet, if he has had the firestorm rain down on him like Phil Mickelson did, I have somehow missed it.
