Bush Takes Responsibility

President Bush took personal responsibility for the federal government's failures in responding to Hurricane Katrina. He spoke with reporters after touring New Orleans on the ground today (right).

"To the extent the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility.... I'm not going to defend the process going in." -- President Bush on Katrina response, September 13, 2005

The President says the federal response raises serious concerns about whether the US is prepared to respond to a terrorist attack. (AP via Yahoo!)
