Obama's arrogance is coming through to people
Two weeks into his presidency,Barack Obama proved that even a clearly gifted politician cannot escape the gravitational pull of Washington forces that have humbled many of his predecessors.
The new president,seen by some as arrogant,was anything but on Tuesday.
“I screwed up,”Obama said repeatedly during a series of TV interviews. “I take responsibility for this mistake.”
It was a frank admission from an Oval Office where “mistakes were made”has often been the preferred dodge.
