Well, I don't think it's useful to get into blame. I think what's important is that I answer the questions that you have that are legitimate questions, that I fully cooperate with the Special Counsel, which was requested widely by the press and by the members of the Republican Party--and who is himself a Republican--that we fully cooperate. And we've done that. Senator Inouye from Hawaii pointed out today, he said, ``I've been experienced in these investigations.'' He said, ``You folks have claimed no executive privilege. You've fully cooperated. No one can quarrel with that.'' And then I get back to the work of getting unemployment down, jobs up, passing a health care bill, passing the crime bill, moving this country forward. I think the worst thing that can happen is for me to sort of labor over who should be blamed for this. There will probably be enough blame to go around. I'm just not concerned about it.
