I take full responsibility

I'm getting pretty sick of that line.  Politicians use it all the time now as if it is some magic wand that will sweep away the mistake.

We all get it that everything went to pot during the Bush administration and perhaps there will be some searching around in Mr. Cheney's desk drawer but, with all respect Mr. President, by the time this thing is plugged up, the Gulf of Mexico will be like a storm drain at a gas station, ten million more people will be out on the streets and that might be the least of our troubles.

OK. You want responsibility? You got it. Now get moving.
