I'm sorry, but you are glossing over the real influence the Executive branch has over bureaucratic functioning and policy by continuing to tag it with "exclusive control." No one has said anything about "exclusive control" but you. But as AGDee said, the responsibility ultimately lies on the top dog. Or as I like to say, "A fish stinks at the head."

And you REALLY have to let this protestation about Katrina go. Did you miss this entire part of the awful, detestable ordeal? http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/...n1361404.shtml
