Apologia everywhere

ThinkProgress and its commentators have a list going of other things Bush needs to "take responsibility" for:
And:
President Bush should be commended for finally accepting “full responsibility� for his blunders in managing the Katrina recovery effort. While he’s in the mood to begin taking responsibility, we’ve offered 10 other issues for which he should also be held accountable:
- The launching of a war of choice against a country that had no WMD
- The approval of interrogation practices that led to torture at Abu Ghraib
- The failure to disclose the true cost of the Medicare prescription drug bill
- The tripling of global terrorist attacks
- The 6 million more uninsured Americans over the past four years
- The $1.40 increase in the price of gas per gallon over the past four years
- The 7 percent decrease in real value of minimum wage over the past four years
- The 11 percent increase in poverty over the past four years
- The four straight years in which median household incomes have not increased
- The all-time high trade deficit, nearing $700 billion
Feel free to add to the list.
* Turning the largest budget surplus in American history into the largest budget deficit in the history of the world.
* Filing a Friend of the Court brief with the Supreme Court to end affirmative action and then ignoring black people dying in the streets.
* Cutting funding every year for New Orleans’ and Southern Louisiana’s levees.
* Filling FEMA leadership positions with college buddies of guys that worked on your campaign.
* The decline of American prestige in the world to perhaps its lowest point in the history of our nation.
