You know it is funny...if someone looked at their child and said serial killer to be and killed him..we would lock them up in prision for the rest of their lives.
If the mother of the CEO of Enron had said..son's gone bad..forget about him or take him out she would be castigated.
If the parents of half of the people on CM had a clue that their kids were going to grow up to be perverts, sadists, gay or whatever and abandoned them at young ages, we would look upon them with scorn for doing so.
If an employer fires someone and labels them as a thief before they have stolen something they are held accountable for it, because the person hasn't done anything yet.
WHY in the name of all that is Omniscience do some people want to require that every candidate, official elected or the President elect be aware of everything that someone whose hand he may have shaken at a fund raiser, been on a committee with or worked with may have done, will do, is doing?
Every blasted candidate we had shook hundreds and thousands of hands during the campaign and had people working on those campaigns. At least one (more likely more) of them may have had illegal porn on their computer, been cheating on their wife, stolen from an employer, hit someone, lapsed their insurance, hurt someone, drove drunk, coerced someone, or done thousands of things that were illegal or at the very least questionable. How in the name of anything are we holding that Candidate/Elected Official responsible for what someone they are not involved with save peripherally does?
We don't even expect Mothers, Fathers or Spouses to know everything..why expect our politicians to know what every other politician is doing?
Could the President elect at least get SWORN IN before we blame him for every corrupt politician out there who dipped his hand in a till somewhere? This investigation went on for some time since the election in November, apparently, it was not something that cropped up within 24 hours of his statements about Bank of America. Even the FBI is not that fast and they had to wait for him to make recordable statements AFTER getting a Warrant for a wire tap, which means they already had someone informing them of malfeasance going on.

Remembering that only the Gods are Omniscient and Omnipotent..Presidents and Presidents elect are neither
