Predictably, the NY Times praised President Obama’s press conference last week.
After all, he fessed up to a mistake and admitted that he was wrong — something Bush would never do.
What did he do wrong?
“I was too trusting of the information that we were getting from BP.”
That reminds me of a typical job interview question “What are your weaknesses ?”
Classic answer: “Sometimes I get impatient with people who don’t share my high quality standards”.
Isn’t it a breath of fresh air when people can step-up and be self-critical.

P.S. Don’t give the above answer in a job interview or your candidacy will be squashed before your very eyes.
