US President Barack Obama shouldered the blame for the multi-million dollar bonuses paid out by bailed out insurance giant
Obama said that the bonuses, paid to AIG executives, were a symptom of an "irresponsible" financial culture that had tipped the mighty US economy into crisis.
"I know Washington's all in a tizzy and everybody's pointing fingers at each other and saying it's all their fault, the Democrats' fault, the Republicans' fault" Obama said, after flying to economically hard-hit California in a campaign-style push for his budget plans.
"Listen, I'll take responsibility. I'm the President," Obama said, sparking cheers and applause.
"We didn't draft these contracts. We've got a lot on our plate -- but it is appropriate when you're in charge to make sure that stuff doesn't happen like this.
"So we're going to do everything we can to fix it."
Why can Politicians around the world shoulder some of the blame?. Mr Cowan and Mr Ahearn in Ireland please please take note.

Well you won the match and you deserved to win but just remember the points that you dropped at teams lower in the league. That may cost you the league.
I liked the Gary Moore Version. Did you also know that 2 of the Easybeats did a lot of producing for AC/DC. This was because George Young from the Easybeats is the brother of Angus and Malcolm Young.

RE: Natasha Richardson RIP
Just realised that she had her ski accident on St Patricks day and Liam will be reminded of this every year he celebrates St Patricks day.
