Straight talk from Barack

Mr. Obama followed half of my advice yesterday (you thought he didn’t read NCPR’s news blog?) and jettisoned the bubble speak.

In interviews, the President acknowledged screwing up some of his cabinet appointments. This from the Washington Post:

“Did I screw up in this situation? Absolutely. I’m willing to take my lumps,” Obama told NBC’s Brian Williams, one of five interviews he gave yesterday afternoon. Obama told the network anchors that there are “not two sets of rules” for people, and said that average taxpayers deserve to have public officials who pay their taxes on time.
