Bush - "I Take Responsibility"

Stardate 4548.3

WASHINGTON - President Bush said Tuesday that he takes responsibility for any federal failures in dealing with Hurricane Katrina, adding that the disaster raised broader questions about the government’s ability to respond to natural disasters as well as terror attacks.

“Katrina exposed serious problems in our response capability at all levels of government,” Bush said when asked about the federal response at a White House news conference with the president of Iraq.

“To the extent the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility,” he said. “I want to know what went right and what went wrong.”

Why the hell does he have to continue to throw around the "terror" word. Give me a break. The "terror" deal is starting to grow very thin. You can continue to fool a few people but the numbers of sheep are dwindling.

You failed George.

You failed when you picked a guy with NO experience to do an amazingly important job. You failed when you redirected funds from the levee and coastline programs to Iraq. You failed when you placed FEMA under control of the Department of Homeland Security. You failed when you were playing guitar and eating cake instead of watching the painfully slow response and denial with the Katrina efforts. You failed when you said "I take responsibility" because it is hollow. It is hollow because as usual, when you lie to your country, nothing changes. What are YOUR consequences? If you "take" responsibility, then maybe you should do what your handpicked ex-FEMA boss did. Resign.
