Maybe he wants everyone to STOP IT and get on with the issues at hand.

It would be nice if he explained exactly what the federal failures were before he takes responsibility for them.

In the news conf with President of Iraq a reporter asked President Bush if he took blame. He said yes, I am the President and I will take the blame and we will find out where we went wrong.

Relax. If true, a classy move on his part. Something you would never have seen from his predecessor.

At least he got that out of the way. Personally, I think that that was a good PR move.

Now time for the Governor and Mayor to step up and take their share of the blame.

Seems to be a typical RINO response the last few years. Things get hot, just surrender. Don't fight. Play along to get along. Compromise your principles if it wins you a sound bite or a half point in the polls.

End the end, the captain of the ship is responsible for hitting the iceberg, even if he is asleep in his cabin. It is his ship. The federal government, in all of it's bloated glory, is the ship of GWB. In the end, he is master of the vessel, thus actually responsible for its errors. Right or wrong, that is the way it works. Yes, Congress and others have extreme blame also. Many do. But, Bush has thrown himself on the sword. Now we will see if the people have any sympathy for him doing it.

On the CNN home page, did you look?

>>>Also today, President Bush said he takes responsibility for the federal government's failures in responding to Hurricane Katrina. "To the extent the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility," Bush said.

The responsibility for any problems with the feds' end of things lies with him. Good for him for taking it.

Now let's see what Blanco and Nagin do...
