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.
"To the extent the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility," Bush said.
That is not taking responsibility. The first sentence is a feeble attempt at spreading the blame. The second is minimizing the problem and his inaction and response to it. I must admit it is carefully crafted by the spin miesters.
If he had said, " I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DELAYS THAT CAUSED ADDITIONAL LOSS OF LIFE AND SUFFERING " Now THAT would have been taking responsibility .
