Bush Takes Responsibility For Failures Of Response

The president yesterday took responsibility for the problems in the federal response to Katrina. What's really sad about this is that it is actually newsworthy that a president in his second term took responsibility for something. It took him this long to take responsibility for something his administration did poorly. This comes more than a year after British PM Tony Blair took responsibility for the intelligence analysis failures that lead to the Iraq war, something the president has yet to do. Baby steps, baby steps.
