The Politics Of Taking Responsibility
President Bush has taken responsibility for government failures regarding the aftermath of hurricane Katrina.
Why? Because in politics that’s what you do when your numbers are in the toilet. Were his approval rating in the 60’s or 70’s I doubt he would have taken responsibility. And let’s also not forget that his approval rating was sliding prior to the hurricane. It will be interesting to see if this helps relieve some of the pressure that his administration has been under, primarily because of the war in Iraq. That, after all, is the primary reason for Bush ever increasing unpopularity.
