We want to play the blame game.

I just saw this video from CNN and it's not good for the Republicans and Bush. 81% of Americans want an independent commission to examine what went wrong with the Hurricane Katrina's response, while 18% want Congress to do it.

Bush just appointed someone from his administration to do the official investigation, but since no one working for him has the guts to tell him anything bad happened or that he's wrong, how do you think she will be able to conduct an objective, thorough investigation in Bush's failure to prepare for such a catastrophe before it happened or to quickly respond to it afterwards?

In the video, Jack Cafferty had this to say about Bush's decision to investigate himself:
The public is not going to buy any of this stuff that comes out of Washington. They're not going to believe anything that comes out of these partisan reports or stuff that was done from within the White House. It just isn't going to wash. The game is up with John Q Public. They're not buying this stuff anymore.
Couldn't agree more. Enough of the lies, the whitewashing, the stonewalling, the deadlocking. We want answers. We want accountability. We want to play the blame game.
