Exactly, Bresamil! The report will be in by mid-February. To the extent that report finds faults in the Federal government's involvement in the Katrina relief delays, Bush takes full responsibility. We already know that the (Democratic-run) State and Local governments failed miserably.bresamil said:to the extent the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility
That is what he said "to the extent". And failure at ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT which includes local and state. He wants to look at this to see how the federal government could have saved lives without breaking the laws that are in effect. The feds followed the rules - local and state balked. So yes, he takes responsibility for following the rules and in doing so, not saving as many lives as could have been saved if the feds had taken control from the state.

Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco lashed out at FEMA on Tuesday, complaining the agency is moving too slowly in recovering the bodies of those killed by Hurricane Katrina.
Can this state do ANYTHING for itself???
They can't provide evacuation assistance for their citizens.
They can't recover bodies of the dead.
They can't absorb one city's students and residents - must send them out of state.
What the hell good are they??? No wonder the residents of NO are such a bunch of federal-tit-sucking good-for-nothings - they get it from their leadership!

Roberts just made Dianne Feinstein look stupid!...Not that it was hard...he had the answers!
Never...just like the people affected. "Can't be are fault" got to blame someone....that's how they got that way! Gov is why they are so effed up!meme said:I wonder when Mayor Nagin and Gov. Blanco are going to apologize to the people of New Orleans?

For all the stoopid crap the Bushies have done since they rolled into the District with a wrecking ball, I've always admired their discipline - extreme loyalty, stick to the script, stay on message, polls be damned (at least on the record), leadership, leadership, leadership, zig heil...
But whoever came up with the bright idea that Bush should apologize for the sinking mess that is N.O. ought to be sacked, dragged out into the street and shot...with BB guns...at point blank range...for as long as it takes.
Ari Fleischer would have never put up with this kowtow crap.
N.O. screwed up, bad. The Coast Guard was there as fast as possible. The FEMA chief was a rockhead, but he didn't stop the National Guard from getting there. Why the pres is taking the heat for this, deserved or not, is beyond me. Yes, the public doesn't like the TV images and wants heads to roll, but this will come back to haunt the GOP. Bush's supposed strong suit has been his ability to act from his gut and ride out the storm. This smells of fear - polling fear.
Is the bubble finally bursting? Have the handlers lost control? Is Bush acting without inertial guidance?
