Weren't these cabinet appointees supposed to go through a vigorous, & stringent vetting process?  What a joke!!! who do these people think they're fooling, obviously the media.  Hey, MSM the campaign is over.

Brian Williams = Ted Baxter

well of course they don't hear "well I screwed up" from Bush or others they have more class. they used terms like "Mistakes were made" "a wrong decision or choice" or "there was an oversight".  often what Brian and and the others say they haven't heard they have but not just the way O'bama says it with no couth.

Luke 6:26 "Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you!" Obama should be completely fearful in regards to this Bible verse for all those around him seem to be sepaking well of him even Brian the context of the verse tells us that Brian and all who speak well are false in their hearts.

What is the commonly used course number in j-school that teaches the "How to blur your bias so that even you can't discern it"? Is it a 300 level course or what?

I am no BHO fan.  However, I am glad that he said it too.  What the press doesn't realize is that President Bush may have been more forthcoming if they were not rabidly against him.  Any sound bite to make him look bad would have been used over and over. 

I am much more upset with the way the press handles BHO than I am with him personally (at least when it comes to a biais).  I expect politicians to make mistakes, I expect not to agree with them on some (or many issues); however, the press needs to act fairly. 

Damn, its early.  What am I thinking?

That's not something we're used to hearing from our President in recent years.”

Uh, let's hope for our Country's sake this isn't something that we're going to have to hear to often.

Once upon a time the American people were able to tell when a politician 'screwed up' whether they told us or not.  We just don't like them lying and telling us that they didn't.

One of the 24% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 89% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

President Bush has admitted to making mistakes.

However the word "screwed", never passed his lips regarding same.  That would be uncouth...something a child of 10 says when he crashes his bicycle while attempting some trick.  "Wow...I screwed that up!"  

I don't appreciate my President using  that kind of language when addressing the nation.  

I don't like seeing my President and his staff sittin' around shootin' the breeze,  casual as can be when my life and yours depends on the decisions that are made at these meetings. 

I like to think of my President and his staff sitting around a table, dressed in a fashion to show respect for the positions they hold, and as a mark of respect for those of us whom they serve.

There is no respect.  Not for us and not for the office he holds.  If he'd had to work for the office maybe then...but I doubt it.  I think that 20 years of the words of Rev. Wright are echoing in his head...affecting every decison he makes.  How could they not?

Decorum has no place in the Obama administration.  Rap music you wouldn't let your children listen to entertains the man sworn to protect our Constitution.

"catastrophe if this economic fix isn't approved."

He sows fear with great gusto.  Fear is his friend and his ally.  He wants you to be afraid.  Fear will blind the American people to his true agenda.  Socialism.  Fear will let him act quickly...before reason takes hold and the masses see this crap for what it is.

What happened to Hope?  Hope no longer serves him.  Hope was part of  a campaign used to prey upon peoples emotions, damping down the intellectual part of the choosing of a President...ramping up the emotional with iconagraphy...music. 

Music was a big part of another propaganda machine...an extremely successful one.  Stirring music that spoke to a generation...made them feel good about themselves.  Thanks Bruce.   History will judge you and the rest of those that whored their talents to put this child in power. Talk about selling out. History will not be kind...I'm willin' t' bet.

Happy Trails...

When will Brian Williams and he MSM admit they Screwed Up helping get BO elected? When will Brian Williams and the MSM admit they Screwed Up talking the country into a recession to get BO elected? Come on you girly men in the MSM admit you Screwed Up! You will feel so good.

For measuring the success of obama then Williams and the rest better get use to it. This guy screws up daily and hasn’t admitted to all of them yet, so why doesn’t the MSM just come out and apologize for him and save him the trouble. They better hurry and back up for him because the list of obama screw ups is growing exponentially.

the msm can't and never will admit they messed up in helping elect obamessiah. it would make them truly look like the idiots they are.  

Brian, Obama will keep you deliriously happy. He will be saying "I screwed up." day, after day, after day, till the end of his reign.

Keep the ILLEGALS out, join NumbersUSA to send free faxes to your reps.

 Just as the actual programs and figures of the largest "stimulus" (taxpayer spending) bill in U.S. history is getting revealed to the general public, President Obama and the Senate Democrats are stepping up their rhetoric that this legislation MUST BE PASSED within the next few days. According to the New York Times, Majority Leader Harry Reid is insisting that the bill come to a vote as early as today, (Thursday).

If this legislation passes in its current form and is sent back to the House (so Pelosi and her cohorts can pork it up again), Obama may be signing the package by the middle of next week, and this nation will be stuck with one of the worst economic spending legislation's ever created by our government.

Now is the time for our responsible leadership in the Republican Party to stand firm and say NO to this "hurry up and get screwed" attitude being pushed by the President and his party of big welfare spenders. This legislation is far too critical to the future of this country's economic stability for decades to pass it for the convenience of expediency. Call your representatives and let them know NOW that we are not in a hurry to put an end to national fiscal responsibility.

If we don't put a stop to this madness today, we will all become part and parsel to the term "I screwed up".

To the point here:

It may be just me in thinking this, but it makes me look at the President like some kind of liberal wussy for apologizing.  He is the President.  He should always be correct.  He should NEVER be wrong.  For him to apologize is the same to me as him saying, "I know I'm in charge here, but can't we be buddies and pals?"  I don't need a limp-wristed President.  It offends my sense of authority to have him apologize.  It makes him look like the Oprah-kind-of-guy that he apparently is.  What a wussy.  What a weak-assed President.

"Liberate tutume ex inferis, liberal puppets."  Me.

He's so perfect that the act of even admitting mistakes shows how perfect he is.

 I'm embarrassed for our media.

Brian, I Hope it gave you a Chrissy Matthews' level thrill.  I think you're gonna love the next four years because you'll be hearing that a lot.  But when the Great and Merciful O says, "I screwed up." what he really means is that we all screwed up letting him get elected without any qualifications whatsoever for the job.

What's really scary is that these should be the easy ones, picking people from your party and peer group to run parts of your government.  You get to sit down amd ask them questions in advance before you put them out there to be cleared for the position.  If you can't do that well, how good are you going to be at making decisions involving foreign governments and terrorists where the truth is deliberately withheld?  "Sorry [insert name of suitcase-nuked American city], I screwed up.  Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran got rid of their nukes.  We didn't know that meant he sold them to al Queada."

"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last."  - Sir Winston Churchill

So he's already admitting he screwed up 16 days in.  It's going to be a long 4 years.

  I actually just now saw (for the first time) the video of Obama flipping Hillary the bird. I have tried to teach my kids to not be vulgar or use vulgar language, or "substitute vulgarities" (where you sound like you wanted to say something else, but cleaned it up) and to have our president be so flip and casual that my own children could recognize his vulgarities makes me sad. 
The other thing that bothers me is that his followers eat it up.  They think he is so clever and cool, and isn't it just great that he has made the office so much less stuffy.  Ummm. No, it isn't.

It is patently absurd for Williams to defend Barack Obama's admission that he "screwed up".  A president is not supposed to "screw up" on something as simple as choosing a qualified cabinet.  The media would have given Bush no break had he chosen multiple tax-cheats for his cabinet.  Further, had Bush ever admitted that he "screwed up," the media would have nailed him to the wall for it.  The irony here is that the reason Obama can openly state that he "screwed up" is that his media protectors are not going to ding him for it.  Obama is smart enough to understand that.  Bush would have been eaten alive had he done the same thing.  And Williams is too dense to understand the difference.

Let's add another screw up to Obama's list... Leon Pannetta for CIA, the man who would run the CIA was busy taking speaking fees from CIA contractors.  Now how can Pannetta make unbiased, objective decisions in regards to anything that affects them any differently than Daschle??????  Will he recuse himself from every decision that may affect CIA contractors? 

Must be another exception to the no lobbyist rule.   At what point do the rules apply?  At what point is the exception, the rule? So now we hear the MSM spinning that people with experience are entitled to make a living when not in government.  Hmmmm, so are they going to fess up Bush was acting responsibly by choosing people with industry experience to help formulate policy????

As I said before, Obama's people vetted precisely the people they wanted to support the agenda.  

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, starving the poor one gallon of ethanol at a time. Fill your tank with E85 and cull a village.
