Seriously issues like this are beyong complex. People at all levels making mistakes, sometime as events happen some in the past causeing problems now.
What more can a person besides verbaly take responsibility and try to fix the problem? You dont have to forgive someone for mistakes - but to complain that they took responsibilty is nonsense.
There are many real issues(yes even the actual mistakes) you could reasonably complain about.
But this post is just lame ass whining.

When someone says they will "take reponsibilty" or say that they "apologize", it means that they will put energy into fixing the problem and try and prevent it from happening. they also have to mean the apology. The second sentence does not seem true, it seems like the usual public relations statements that get made whenever something happens. The first sentence is probably not true either, some people will get fired, maybe a comission, but over time the hurricanbe gets forgotten and people go on to other things.
Sure, there are a lot of people who could have done more to handle the hurricane. The New Orleans government, the Louisian government could have done more. The federal government also. If I go farther back, Some other people could have been icked o run the important jobs. If I go farther back, I could talk about past people in New Orleans for leaving the city in such bad shape. I could attack the political culture that encourages people to pick friends and such, and elect people based on certain issues instead of other ones. The point of all this is that Bush had his own part in this hurricane mess, and if he apologizes for it, and "takes responsibility", he'd better actually mean it, and not just be spouting off.
