The Buck Stops Where?

From MSNBC:

"Bush began the day at the White House where he expressed unhappiness with the efforts so far to provide food and water to hurricane victims and to stop looting and lawlessness in New Orleans. 'The results are not acceptable,' said Bush, who rarely admits failure."

We at the Blasphemy Blog have just returned from a long journey and are tired. We are in no mood to see underlings tongue-lashed by their superior. When the Federal Government does not work properly, the cause may be traced to many places. But there is someone in charge of the Federal Government. The President does not say, "I want to do better." He says the "results are not acceptable," using language clearly intended to distance himself from those results. It's not the kind of behavior you expect from someone in charge, if they're good at being in charge.
