What do you think of Obama's admission to "I screwed up."?

Do you see this as weak, strong or what ever you think he is? Do you think Bush had ever said that? By the way, I guess Bush was perfect for the last 8 years since he never ever apologized right?

Do you agree with the article I pasted below?

"In just a few days in office, President Obama has made it stunningly clear that the infantile, cowardly, deceitful, and recklessly incompetent (almost to the point of pride) Bush/Republican Way of doing things is OVER. With those three little words, “I screwed up,” he’s already provided us a new template of what a REAL president, a REAL man, a REAL adult, does when something goes wrong on his or her watch. As one TV commentator put it – “he manned up.” The last time I got to thinking about this, I wondered what I myself was going to do now that the changes had happened. Seems everyone’s grappling with that, now. We’re just not used to this." - http://www.groundreport.com/Opinion/Three-Little-Words

but no... Obama can't be wrong... head exploding... argghh!
but really I suppose its ok he appologized but cmon you think he'd know what he was doing in picking cabinet members and its not just republicans, democrats are egotistical and don't appologize either
I guess we're gonna be hearing the words "I screwed up" every week now if he appoligizes every time he DOES screw up

I like it. I mean, if he keeps this up, it makes him look bad because he's admitting to mistakes (it's well known that the President can't be fallible), but I'm all for it.

I hope he isn't saying this all the time, as in, I hope he isn't making big mistakes all the time, but we'll see.

Its nice once in awhile to hear a Democrat actually admit wrong. This admission is not within party policy.

Of course those of us who don't worship the DNC deity know that he has screwed up several things.
