be left holding the bag

Obama今天又講話了。

"But just as outrageous is the culture that these bonuses are a symptom of, that [has] existed for far too long; a situation where excess greed, excess compensation, excess risk-taking have all made us vulnerable and left us holding the bag."
但是讓我們很憤怒的是這種獎金文化已經存在太久了----------太貪婪、過多的報酬、太投機，是一種徵狀-----讓我們容易受傷，又要讓我們來收拾善後。

怎麼老是由我來收拾善後，該換人吧!
