Comments on: The Great American Blame Game http://www.polimom.com/2006/11/29/the-great-american-blame-game/ I used to be in the middle, but they keep moving the line!

That may be asking too much of policy makers and politicians but one would hope for a little honest, "Here is what I could have done better." I don't advise holding my breath. We are all flawed. We all make mistakes. Only a fool refuses to beleive that he has erred. Besides the big issue is not how we got here but how the hell do we get to an acceptable outcome in the shortest, least painfull way. After all, nobody ever got out of quicksand by figuring out who was to blame..
