but the amount of blame they're taking from the civically ignorant is vastly out of proportion to their performance.
That is quite the norm actually...look at these boards...

So would that mean GW is going to have 4000 + counts of negligent homicide? He claims responsiblity for the fuck up, these people are being punished for their fuck up, only seems fair.
Eh loophole here honestly, taking responsibility when you don't discuss specifically what those failures were leaves a lot of room for conjecture and manuvering. So if he makes a point that something was not the duty of the federal government, there would be no failure to perform and therefore no responsibility taken. Notice he specified federal government, he's not taking responsibility for all government failure, just that of the federal side. Politically that leaves all kinds of room for the finger pointing to continue~.

Those who are willing to be the most ruthless always win. The pacifists always lose, because the anti-pacifists kill them.
