  • Personally, I’ve always subconsciously associated the last name in a list of names as the one who does the real work. Like if Lewis was so great, why did he need to bring Clark on board? Again, subconsciously, I associate the first name with vanity, the face of the group taking credit for a joint effort. I know that it’s usually just a case of what has a better rhythm, but I feel the way I feel.

    This doesn’t extend to longer lists, anyone in the middle feels like a handout, “Oh yeah, they were also involved I guess”. Again, totally based on feels, and I’m probably weird for this.



  • Or do you honestly believe he did everything he could?

    In general? Definitely not. In this specific case? Yeah, probably. It’s not normal for appointees to be sycophant drones, and in terms of concentration of power it’s not even desirable. Concentrating total power in the President is not a good idea, and advocating it by blaming the President for things that fall outside the scope of their power only empowers the people who want a dictator.

    He made his appointments to the Board. The decisions those Board members make are on them, if you have a problem with their decisions, criticize them directly and direct your correspondence to them. Concentrating every complaint on the President promotes an inaccurate, and therefore ineffective, conception of scope of responsibility.
