NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- President Bush on Tuesday said he takes responsibility for the federal government's failures in responding to Hurricane Katrina.

So, are you liberals happy? Breaking out the champagne? Because the destruction of Bush is all you care about, more so than the Katrina victims.

I'm all for it, this is just another blunder he has been directly involved with (naming 'Brownie' head of FEMA). He can cut brush all year round for all I care. Maybe he can make a book deal, I hear pop-up books are gaining in popularity.

No, it means that doing this could just be a PR move from someone who really has nothing to loose. But that being sad I am extremely happy that he took the blame. Even though I have a feeling that the Devil is pretty PO'ed right now, all his little demons are iceskating.

Did you think we were going to gush over the man now for taking responsibility for the first time in 5 years?

Well, it's obvious this one mistake wasn't enough to force him to resign. I mean, Iraq is going so well along with the fixing of Social Security. Gas prices are dropping through the floor and average worker pay is well above the rate of inflation.






Oh wait....





But, seriously, this is a good move on his part to deflect the dropping poll numbers.

Does this mean that Bush is playing the "blame game" now? And doesn't that qualify, along with "You're doing a 'heckuva' job, 'Brownie"!, as another Bush flip-flop???

What next? Will Bush admit he lied about Iraq?

Words are empty without action. Let us see what actions he takes to fix his many failures of leadership.

This sounds like a Karen Hughes plan to me. If so, she is the only competent Bush appointee we have seen yet. Consider her Bush's cavalry.

Someone could scratch a pentagram on the floor, call up a demon, and find out if they need parka's in H*LL.

Still not good enough--the cabal needs to be put under arrest and forced to apologize to the American public :D

Yeah, everyone seem really quick to bash Bush, but I have been in emergency services for a long time and the response to a disaster is local, county, state...then federal. The local and county pretty much couldn't respond...but my question, is where was the STATE and the Governor in this response? Oh, she's a demo...so everyone skipped her and went to blame Bush. And besides that she was to busy doing TV interviews to worry about doing anything. She even admitted that she delayed Federal response by at least 2 days herself, because she didn't like the wording the Federal government sent her.

Come on people...the response wasn't what it should have been...by a long shot...but you need to start the blame at the state level, not the federal...the state didn't do crap...period...expect to complain that the federal wasn't doing anything.

At least Bush finally took responsibity for the federal stuff...LA's governor never has that I know of...she just keeps blaming the feds.

Brilliant move by Bush. Now everybody will see that people are never happy no matter what you do. They always want / expect more no matter what he does. People just have it out for this man. I'm not particularly fond of him myself. . .but now. . .there you have it. He said what everybody wanted to hear and now people are still throwing mud at him. Nothing he does will make people happy. People are A$$holes but they are too busy worrying about blaming somebody else rather than looking in the mirror and asking themselves "am I perfect?" or "how can I help?"

And now that he has accepted the blame, what does it change?

There is going to be a lot of

"I told you so" from a lot of people

the Bush apologists should probably get used to it.

He's polling <40%, Rove has called a general retreat. For Bush that means admitting at least 1 mistake.

If this works, maybe he'll start telling the truth about the case for war.
