I tip my hat to him-now let us see what changes can be made.We need to back our president-I did not care for Clinton, but once he was in office I backed him to the best of my ability.The old cliche-a house divided againt itself will surely fall-is true. The president in office-whomever he may be-deserves our support.

Under Bush we've not had one terrorist attack on American soil since 911. He took responsibility for the fight against terror which Clinton ran from and did nothing. He did so little there were six terrorist attacks during his administration.
In fact, as the Able Danger revelations pointed out Clinton, knew about 911 terrorists and did nothing. Those who support a rapist, sexual predator, admitted liar and pervert are sick. Bush has done an amazingly good job considering the scope of Katrina unlike the inept DEMOCRAT local ripoff artists. Clinton;s FEMA took two weeks to even get to the scene in the much smaller hurricanes during his presidency. He was a failure as a president and was and is a moral failure today.

The negative responses appear to all be from disgruntled liberal domocrats who need to place blame wherever they can to bash President Bush. Without Bush's decisions on Iraq and other areas we would be fighting the battle against terrorism right here in our own back yards. These Democratic whiners are sure President Bush delibertly postponed aid to Katrina victims. At least he was American enough to stand up and take the critisim which the Democrats were more than happy to place blame, but not American enough to help before placing the blame.

fordgirl87: You are absolutely Right! Americans SHOULD BE proud of their president! Too bad about the guy we have in there then, isnt it?
For Gods sake, thats like saying all Russians shoulve been proud of Stalin-just because he was their leader! (or Adolf? or Saddam? or Nixon?)Presidents are not to followed blindly!-they are supposed to be WORKING FOR US ! Remember?Whatever 'side' you think you are on- the fact remains that this administration has hurt the US in so many ways, for so many years to come, its a horrible SHAME!
(Thats why I AM Proud of Jimmy Carter-the only ex-president who gives a damn
about something besides power and greed!)

This is the first time in the Bush presidency that he has ever accepted responsibility for anything. This is the first time he has shown any leadership qualities. Karl Rove probably told him to do it. The real test of Bush accepting responsibility is the action he takes against his own unqualified political appointee buddies. Bush is a bad joke and anybody who thinks otherwise needs to get an education.

Classic Bush. First he is in denial, then tries to regain the moral and political high ground by "taking responsibility" after the situation finally shows some improvement. P.T. Barnum had it right, there is a sucker born every minute and Bush knows this lesson well.

Time for a Presidential Intervention: "My Name is George, and I Won't Take Responsibility for Anything"
I spent some time this weekend with a friend of mine who has just taken the first big step toward recovery by joining AA, and was struck by his determination to follow that program's 12 steps.
I couldn't help comparing my friend's willingness to "take personal inventory" and "promptly admit" his mistakes and flaws (step 10), with President Bush, who time and again over the last two weeks has fallen back on his longstanding inability to own up to his many mistakes. Instead of coming clean, Bush's been repeating again and again that this isn't the time to play the "blame game." Actually, Mr. President this is precisely the time to assign blame and accept responsibility.
And Tuesday's half-hearted "To the extent the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility" doesn't count. It had all the sincerity of a little kid forced by his parents to apologize. Only in this case, it wasn't Bush's parents taking him by the ear (they were too busy worrying about all the underprivileged folks invading Texas), but his pollsters, who clearly let him know that the American people were not buying his blame it on the other guy, shrug and grin approach.

To all you "Bush is our president and we should support him" people. Open your eyes, this guy is an idiot puppet of the Moral minority. I am sure glad our fore fathers had the guts to stand up to, and not blindly follow a tyranical, "my way or the highway" leader. Other wise we would still be a colony of england. What a bunch of hypocritical fools. Oh, we don't like abortion, but hey its ok to send thoughsands to there death in IRAQ for nothing. Bush had no problem making the decision he knew would result in someones death did he?

This was a joke-post, right? Oh, please tell me it was a joke and there isn't really someone out there - driving a car, maybe even - who has this opinion! Bill Clinton was many things, but uninvolved wasn't one of them...his hallmark was empathetic involvement...he took the hit for everything...Gawd, he's even down there taking responsibility and he's not even in office anymore...there are a lot of righteous opinions one can carry about Presidents Bush (fils) and Clinton, but that Bush takes responsibility and Clinton shirks it is simply nonsensical...oh, it must be a joke...I've been had, I guess.

I continue to wonder how it is that intelligent, thinking people can believe that Bush is in any way a better president than Clinton. Clinton is going to do more to bring value to the world as a private citizen, than any of the greedy neo-con politicians running the current administration. The economy is worse, thousands are dead, how is abortion worse? The environment is cracking under the pressure of the oil and other energy companies, Haliburton continues to reap billion dollar contracts and we can't pick up the dead from the streets in NO. How is Bush good for this country? I am so truly disgusted by direction of our country. Our administration represents us as so arrogant! Republicans - wake up - you too are paying over $3/gallon.

What a joke!
If you remember what the "Beast" is that bush is trying to kill - then you need to worry!! He just throws money at any issue! Where's that money going to come from? Who is going to be "required" to sacrifice?
What is he really doing?
If you get your head out of whereever, there are serious problems in the US, and he's doing nothing about them! Infastructure, water, increasing poverty (1.1 million more just last year), declining education, our stature in the world, reliance on fossil fuels, our deteriorating economy ( What economy !! ) our current accounts deficits!!
There's no shortage of real problems, and he's off on vacation for a month!!
He is not a leader !

It really burns me to listen to Bush "accept responsibility" for the gigantic failure of the Democratic Mayor and Governor of Lousiana. God forbid that these morons - living in a tropical storm belt in a town below sea level - should take a minute off flashing for Mardi Gras and set aside a plan for the inevitable. No Way! Let's let the feds take care of it!!!! And, if they don't - well, let's blame WHITEY. He causes every problem known to man, anyway! We all may be dead, but at least we've got someone to point a finger at, no matter how pathetically misplaced that finger may be...

I agree it took balls for the Prez to "take responsibility." I only wish he really HAD responsibility. What about the idiots in local and state government who evidently hadn't heard of huricanes before? What about the massive entrenched underclass that never has a clue, doesn't have a job, doesn't plan to look, but is available for any TV camera to complain about the lack of variety in the food handouts given to them to keep their parasitic lives afloat?

I would just like to agree with everyone who hates Bush no matter what. I absolutely support the concept that nobody can ever change or grow, and that if a person appears to do something that exhibits growth, it is time to stomp on it until it is completely dead. As we all know, any intelligent person was that way from birth, and nobody else has a prayer.

Then I realize - they AREN'T THINKING - they are simply walking cliches. THEY ARE THE TRUE CONSERVATIVES - ie: those who want no change. We've had failed democrat policies for 50 years, but god forbid anyone suggest a different approach! How, exactly, is supporty a 50 year-old status quo "liberal" while suggesting an alternative is "conservative?"

Bush takes Blame? He ALWAYS pins blame to someone else. It took him a week to say my fault first he blamed LA then Mayor then he fired FEMA director then when the polls went down on him he said oops my fault. If you are older than ten you should remember Waco and the president who cared about the economy took the blame saying blame belongs on the top kinda reminds me about HST whose policies defeated communism (it just took 50 years but they were his policies) Clinton's head law enforcement officer woudn' hear of it and wanted to take the fall herself. How about Bush LYING saying he watched the planes hit the towers when there is video of him being told about it not once but TWICE and he still wanted to listen to story time with a kidergarten class. Then REFUSED to acknowlege that he was warned by Clinton's people that "AL QAEDA DETERMINED TO ATTACK US USING PLANES."

Bush and Admin shouldn't have to step up for the Katrina disaster they should have already been there. A blowjob in the oval office will get a president impeached but starting an unwarrented war in Iraq gets you relected?
Who would the previous President be who shifted the blame, maybe President George Bush Sr. Why did he stop short of getting Sadaam H. back in 1991?

I'm a middle class, middle income, and middle thinking guy. And as a someone from middle America I'm stunned by the inability of Bush supporters to comprehend the loss of freedom, peace, human life, and yes cash/taxes, that has occurred since Bush took office. It seems so obvious to me that Bush is the perfect example of a politician that promices one thing but delivers another. I've been asking myself, "are Bush supporters in a different dimension or parallel universe than the one I live in."

One thing one can say Bush has certainly accomplished, and this discussion board is the living evidence--he has polarized and divided the citizens of this country like no other president before him. No small accomplishment that. It is one more "accomplishment" of his that's going to take the United States decades, if not more, to recover from. I am no longer angry at those who support him so blindly--your loyalty is admirable. But you are going to have so many regrets when you realize that he's recklessly mortgaged the futures of unborn generations and likely set the stage for Armageddon. This country, and perhaps this planet, may not survive because of political and clockwork that he has wound up, then set in motion. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I am.

You have got to be kidding. He still shifts blame who and what are the Federal Gov. he went on photo ops while people needed help. Nothing but chatter as he shifts the blame again. He is a lousey leader (unlike previous presidents) and he couldnt handle a kid baseball team! He should be called before the world court for war crimes abroad and before the nation for crimes against the state. He will one day.

What kind of responsibility was Bush exhibiting when he flew into the disaster areas for photo-ops? They shutdown all transportation while he was in the area, because he is such a chicken-hawk. Now if he had said "I am not going to do any photo-ops because the kind of security that I require would actually impede our efforts to get help to these people." I would have to begin taking him seriously...
