That's really an easy answer TL because it makes it seems like having good people on the team is a cop-out or an admission of incompetence. Furthermore, it makes it too simple to say anything good that happens isn't his idea, and everything bad is completely his fault.

I will point out that any competant president would surround himself with the best and brightest he could find. Wouldn't it be stupid to say, I'm the smartest, so hire a bunch of jackasses as advisors?
