He already HAD Responsibility, the real question is ACCOUNTABILITY

[Bluerthanblue]

What's the big 'whoop' about bush saying 'I take responsibility'.

He did that when he was sworn in as 'p'resident. I don't get the big deal- His responsibility is a GIVEN- accountability, and the repercussions or punishment due to failing in his role- where does he say he accepts that?????

And that, dear innocent friends is the only thing that matters-
As a former victim of domestic abuse, i gotta say, don't ENABLE him any longer. ACCOUNTABILITY - acknowledging guilt and failure, NOT pointing FIRST to the 'what went right' and downplaying the massive fuck up of what went WRONG === DEADLY wrong, sounds so cloyingly familiar. And makes my tummy hurt all over again..... oh, to be innocent.... to believe people mean what they say when their every action 'outs' them.

READ HIS EXACT WORDS- as if you were lying in a hospital bed somewhere broken, bruised, and bewildered.... and see how hollow they REALLY are.

"PRESIDENT BUSH: 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 its job right, I take responsibility. I want to know what went right and what went wrong. I want to know how to better cooperate with state and local government, to be able to answer that very question that you asked: Are we capable of dealing with a severe attack or another severe storm. And that's a very important question. And it's in our national interest that we find out exactly what went on and -- so that we can better respond...."

Sorry- i'm not myself lately.... i'm tired beyond words...and weary to the bone... i can't be 'bright, and bon vivant' anymore... words come cheap and so do peoples lives in this sad nation.

2. not unless the 'people' hold him to be- what

best suits me, is that he be held accountable by those whose lives he's most directly impacted, like Cindy Sheehan, and the Tillmans, and the Katrina victims, and the Iraqi civillians and those of us who are going belly up under his oppression....

not likely
