Why does Bush keep apologizing for an incompetent state and local response???

It has something to do with a sign that sat on Harry Truman's desk.

The buck stops on Bush's desk for federal matters.

Would you kindly explain why the buck stops on Bush's desk for state and local matters? Was he supposed to suspend republican government in Louisiana and New Orleans and fire the Governorette and Nonmayor?
