Obama to ABC News: ‘I Second-Guess Constantly’
Yahoo ^ | 1/27/12 | Yahoo! News - Newsmakers

In an exclusive interview with ABC News, President Obama today acknowledged that he has made mistakes during his presidency but defended the steps his administration has taken to create jobs and improve the economy.

"I second-guess constantly… I make a mistake, you know, every hour, every day," he told ABC News' Diane Sawyer, laughing. "There're always things that you're learning in the job. And I have no doubt that I'm a better president now than the day I took office just because you get more experience. But when you look at the broad outlines of what we did, had it not been for the steps we took our economy would be profoundly weaker than we are right now."

The president was responding to a question by a Yahoo! user asking him if there's something that he learned about himself and wished he had done in the first three years.

The president, who is in Las Vegas today promoting his energy agenda, cited the auto bailout and the Recovery Act as examples of his administration's successes. Addressing criticism that the economy hasn't grown very quickly in the last three years, Obama said he laid out the foundations that will position the country to continue growing.

I almost barfed at the ABC Hussein love fest tonight, and reminded my wife how we are getting hosed by the MSM.

Bath-House Barry wouldn’t be able to wipe his a** if he didn’t have a crack to follow.

HE doesn’t do anything himself; he does what Soros tells him to do.

Is he the first “president” to attempt to prove a negative everytime he opens his mouth?

I'm waiting for the MSM to start saying only Obama can be a qualified
President because he is President.

Of course he’s better now. In his first year, he was too timid about destroying the US, shredding our Constitution, and abusing power. He’s stepped up his game immeasurably in all those areas.
