I caught the end of the President's speech tonight. Then I was "blessed" (cough, cough, sputter, sputter) to hear Brian Williams and Tim Russert share their thoughts about it. Oh yeah, and the NBC White House Correspondent, I can't remember his name. President Bush said:
Hello, HE DIDN'T admit a mistake. As the President of the United States, if someone in the federal government screws up, it ends up being his responsibility, whether it's his FAULT or not!
Tim Russert was just a blowin' and a goin', and I finally had to turn it off. I even had my 8yo hollering at the TV. *grin*
Anyway, I thought this was rather interesting. I've read several places that despite the MSM's best efforts, the people who were actually INVOLVED in the hurricane (and therefore didn't have TV and the means to be indoctrinated ;-) ) don't blame the President at all really.
Here's another example.
(I'm NOT real crazy about Bush's plan to spend spend spend, but that is what he likes to do in these sort of situations, so I can't say I'm surprised.)
Four years after the frightening experience of September the 11th, Americans have every right to expect a more effective response in a time of emergency. When the federal government fails to meet such an obligation, I, as President, am responsible for the problem, and for the solution.Oh my, they jumped all over that. The White House Correspondent Man (LOL) said that President Bush's speech was different than his past speeches. Normally he doesn't admit his mistakes.
