I think Truman's statement was a a veiled threat to his underlings: IE. Because the buck stops here, you damn well better do your job well or your gonna have hell to pay.

Hey the guy nuked 2 cities...He could back the threat up!

With that said, I don't know of a single death from a Hurricane that Harry Truman or any Democrat President has accepted blame for...

Did Truman have any programs to deal with Hurricane relief? Maybe back then the president was held to a lower standard.

        The left has more readers, statistically. - SDAI-Tech1 - 9/10/2005 9:11:21 AM
