Responsibility

What does it mean to take responsibility?
"Katrina exposed serious problems in our response capability at all levels of government and to the extent the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility."
- George Bush, Sept 13, 2005
Does it mean to appoint a committee? Does it mean to sacrifice your job to someone else? Does it mean to pay a fine? I don't understand what substance lies behind his words.
