John Kerry has a good line today on the president’s responsibility moment: “The President has done the obvious, only after it was clear he couldnât get away with the inexcusable.”
Gitlin also has some good analysis of what the president said.
No absolution without true repentance.
No blurring the fact that the president isn’t just ultimately responsible but really responsible. Making FEMA and DHS into a repository for patronage hires had consequences.
