I've been strongly critical of Obama in past posts (especially of his campaign promises for Hope and Change), so I must maintain balance by applauding him when he does positive.
After years of witnessing Bush deny any wrongdoing on his part, its very refreshing to have a leader stand in front of his nation and say 'I screwed up.' While I will always question the sincerity of career politicians and continuously look for alternative justifications to their altruistic words and deeds, I was delightfully pleased with this sudden burst of humility by a US President.
Good job Obama!
Now please stop wasting time with your stupid stimulus package (which is simply trying to prop up the old economy of consumption, debt, and fat banks) as well as silly issues like executive compensation and deal with the real crisis in the economy and health care.
Oh and while I have your attention, could ya stop senselessly bombing Afghanistan and Pakistan? I can't speak for them, but I'm guessing the locals don't much appreciate US missiles destroying their homes and killing their families.

Then they should turn in the bad guys instead of harboring them.
Anon,
Excellent point! Because its a common principle of civilized society to destroy an entire community in which a criminal resides. Why don't those fools just get that???
Thanks for reminding me how America works...
'Why don't those fools just get that???'
THANK YOU!
You are correct, in America we do have laws against harboring criminals or aiding and abetting. So yeah, they go down with those that they help.
Really?! So when the police go into a house with a criminal and others (such as children and elderly), they go in guns blazing??
I missed that in the nightly news...
I believe O'bama is a poster boy for folks behind the scenes. His rise to fame and glory is not the results of his own Political Authority, but that he has been chosen as the figure head. I think he is pretty much a political opportunist. I do not think his foriegn policy will differ too much from Dubya Bush
I do think he'll trash our economy with the massive bail outs and spending which rob from pernsioners and retired and wage earners through inflation and push more money into the banking system to sustain our debt enconomy.
We are all on debt economy in the Good Old USA.
