Proud American Presidents Standing Up and Taking Responsibility

"To the extent the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility"
-- The 43rd President of the United States comments on Hurricane Katrina, 13 September 2005

"To the extent that this axe contributed, along with gravity and age, to fell this cherry tree, I take responsibility."
-- Famous childhood saying of the 1st President of the United States

"The Portion of the Buck For Which the President is Responsible (which, in a Ownership Society of Entrepreneurship and Small Government and Local Control, is negligible) Stops Here"
-- Oval Office Desk Plaque of the 33rd President of the United States (as clarified by the current resident of that office)

Yeah, it is kind of cute, isn't it? "I kind of take responsibility for what might be deemed the fault of other people." He couldn't have performed a more cravenly, cynical, and insincere taking of responsibility. If he could have, he would have.

Dear Alan, Nice try, but to keep with the theme of the parody you need to continue the parallelisms. Try:
"To the extent that DNA tests prove a link between that semen stain and the President, I take responsility for Ms Lewinsky's dry cleaning bill."
Maybe the current resident of the White House would handle the pressures of the office a little better if he had a little extracurricular sexual activity too.
