Obama is a measured man but he sure can fugg up a foolish journalist

22. Yeah, no kidding! No freakin' KIDDING!

Maybe deep down that's one of the reasons the haters hate him so much. DAYUM does he make his predecessor look bad! He makes dubya look like the steaming pile of crap we all long ago recognized him to be. They'll stay in denial about it, though. AWFULLY hard to admit you were wrong. Some former congressman on "Hardball" yesterday, I think it was, admitted he'd voted wrongly on the Iraq War and he and Chris Matthews both agreed that a President who starts seeing the input coming to him that says his decision was wrong - would at least stop and reassess, if not change the policy. And it's VERY instructive about the kind of person dubya is - that, to this day, he flat-out REFUSES to admit he was wrong. That he made a wrong decision. That invading Iraq was the wrong thing to do. Won't do it. Can't do it. Can't afford to bring himself to admit he was wrong. Has to insist the world is flat. Because he's not man enough to admit he was wrong.

Well, you know it, and I know it, and everybody on this board knows it. And more beyond that know it. But he and his - will NEVER admit they were wrong. It's hard to do. It's pretty damn courageous and ballsy, and mature, and adult, and grounded in reality, to admit you were wrong. And he can't do it. So that should be very instructive as to who - and what - he really is.
