Interesting.

So I guess contrary to some opinions in here Bush thinks the Feds acted poorly.

WASHINGTON - President Bush said Tuesday that "I take responsibility" for failures in dealing with Hurricane Katrina and 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 at joint White House news conference with the president of Iraq.

No, some of us believe ALL levels of Gov't acted poorly. That is contrary to some  that believed it was ALL Bush's fault.

Yep. They all get to wear the clown hat; local, state and federal.

That's what gives a person credibility, to stand up as the person in charge and take responsibility. Good PR move if you ask me

Blanco's behavior in this disaster is inexcusable. She is acting like a spoiled child. Mary Landrieu has used it as a politcal soapbox. She reminds me of a political robot with no human feeling.
Nagin made mistakes and I think he's to the point of admitting them.

The headline should've read " Bush admits mistakes while the rest of the clowns sit in denial."

Hmmm, well...

...not being one to criticise foreign heads of state, I found this cartoon interesting in today's Torygraph. - http://www.telegraph.co.uk





I can't comment on this newspaper's opinion of W, but here is an earlier cartoon.



No comment from me - maintaining my impartiality.

As time goes by things will get sorted out as far as responsibility goes...

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) issued a report Tuesday afternoon asserting that Louisiana governor Katherine Blanco took the necessary and timely steps needed to secure disaster relief from the federal government, RAW STORY has learned.

Bush on Katrina response: 'I take responsibility'

Quote
"Katrina exposed serious problems in our response capability at all levels of government, and to the extent that the federal government didn't fully do it's job right, I take responsibility," Bush said.

Prime Minister Martin took responisbility for the ad scam scandal up here.  He then said that once in inquiry into it is completed he was going to hold a federal election.

Besides saying the words what has Bush actually put on the line.  If there is an impeachment hearing into his actions vis a vis FEMA and it's involvement in NO etc.  Is it to be construed that he has in fact already "plead guilty"?
