It would also be a hell of a lot more believable.
During President Obama’s presser announcing VA Secretary Eric Shinseki’s resignation, he revealed something about himself:

Really? Could’ve fooled us!

Sorry, Mr. President. But we know what “taking responsibility” looks like for you:

He’ll be hitting the fairway in no time. After all, he didn’t build this mess. Somebody else made it happen:

"This predates my presidency" and he knew about it as a Senator. But Shinseki just learned about it?

After claiming he takes responsibility for everything, Obama is sure to let us all know he *never* knew about any of this happened

EVERY problem Obama comes across in his presidency, predates his presidency. #BlameGame Shameful.

Am I deaf or did I just miss Obama's apology to the vets and their families, esp. those who died?

Landed. I see Obama fired Shineski. Did he apologize for breaking 6-year-old vow to reform #VA? Did he announce said reforms? #CatchingUp

To Barack Obama, “always taking responsibility” means never really having to say you’re sorry.
