Went to see if a transcrip or quotes could be found, yet. No luck, so I resorted to CNN.com---only reference is bold red headline--BREAKING NEWS President Bush says he takes responsibility for the federal government's failures in responding to Hurricane Katrina. Details soon!---laugh, cry or put my fist through the monitor?--I choose laugh.
Yeah...and while he did say he takes full responsibility, he also had a list of qualifiers that included a lack of communication between state and local levels. These people are so pathetic in their attempts to bury this guy.
Do you think it's a bad-looking thing for him to be seen as saying "I take responsibility"?
I think he sounds like a grown-up. I don't think this is going to sting him at all. I think it makes all the other whiners in govt and the media look like children.
