"I screwed up."
-- Barack Obama, February 3, 2009

"I wish you'd have given me this written question ahead of time so I could plan for it... I'm sure something will pop into my head here in the midst of this press conference, with all the pressure of trying to come up with answer, but it hadn't yet... You know I... I hope I... I don't want to sound like I have made no mistakes. I'm confident I have. I just haven't... You just put me under the spot here, and maybe I'm not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with one."
-- George W. Bush, August 13, 2004, when asked if he'd made any mistakes since September 11, 2001

now I'm curious about what he screwed up on.

Nominating Daschle for a cabinet position without having him properly vetted first. He's the second person Obama has put up for a position who turns out to have not paid all of his taxes.

No wonder half the states are running out of money if their own elected reps haven't bothered to pay their "due share".

In that same press conference, he also said, "This is a war against people who have no guilt in killing innocent people,". Notice that he was able to use the word "is" in a sentence and not have to ask anyone what it means.
