Taking Responsibility
Bush did not take responsibility for a single failure. This is a indication of a weak man, a coward. I remember JFK taking responsibility for the Bay of Pigs even though much of the operation was planned and set in motion prior to him taking office. That's a profile in courage. The American people are a very forgiving people. JFK's popularity numbers rose significantly after he took responsibility. What is wrong with this idiot we have for a President? I hope and pray that some action is taken to address what this pretend President has done to our country. But I fear it will fade into history.

1. You gotta understand to W there were no failures by his admin
Many of course by Clinton that fucked up his admin. And of course Obama has certainly already had an effect on the W admin. But to them the W admin had no failures.

2. That's the problem with Conservatives, Responsibility is for EVERYONE ELSE!
Responsibility is one of their big messages, one of their big issues with those whom they see as a problem/bad/stupid/evil/wrong/Liberal.

You know, you can understand people disagreeing with you, but people who do not/cannot live by the very standards that they FORCE on others simply cannot be dealt with. They

SHOULD

be excluded.

3. He lacks the moral capacity
to accept responsibility. Instead, he attempts to compare himself to Thomas Jefferson.

4. I'll always remember how liberating it was
to admit to and apologize for my first major fuck up. I was a kid.

It has been a joy to teach to my own kids.


Just think how constipated he must be. prolly where the stuttering and head jerking stems from.


so happy to see him go

5. Eric Holder Showed More Class in one afternoon
Than the entire * Administration has in 8 years! It was "I made a mistake, and I take responsibility," not "mistakes were made."
