I couldn't believe my ears when I heard W say this on the radio today:

"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."

Wow. Mr. Rove's focus groups must be sending them some very loud, very clear messages about Katrina.

Lets hope that W truly owns up to his responsibility and does not pull a Ronald Reagan. When something went wrong under Reagan's watch, he would say something like, "I take full responsibility...but I didn't really do anything wrong." That way, he could claim to be a stand up guy without admitting fault. For the sake of the country, I hope W doesn't take that route.
