You ever notice......

How, if a CEO's company does something good/makes a profit/new patent/cures cancer/etc that the CEO is all over the place taking credit for it?

They tell us how it was THEIR leadership (even when it might well be by the work of some low level peons) that led to all the good things.

Oil well blows up, oil gushing out, and suddenly "Well, it was another company's equipment, workers were not obeying", and so on.

Same thing goes for presidents as well usually, just on a larger scale.

It is called scapegoating and they learn it early and practice it often.
