When the Titanic hit the iceberg, the captain didn’t say “I don’t take responsibility at all.”  No, he manned-up and went down with the ship.  He didn’t blame his crew or his predecessor.  He was a real man and . . . a real leader.

Typically, that was the actual quote from our current President, as he denied responsibility for the failure of CDC to organize testing of Americans for the coronavirus.  He could have said “we’ve done a poor job so far, but I am going to jump into it and fix it ASAP.”  But, that would have required a real man and . . . a real leader.
