As for fault, in the long run where did that Buck stop? If the President believes it and says it, he has just taken responsibility for it.

Blame the speech writer if you want, but this kind of thing could have serious consequences and it all comes back to the President, who the scribe works for after all.
I think the fact checkers might have been more rigorous if it were something other than slamming Castro in front of Cuban refugees.
