I listened to GWB's final press conference this morning in its entirety on the way to a meeting. When asked about mistakes he may have made in the Presidency, this was his initial response:
"I have often said that history will look back and determine that which could have been done better, or, you know, mistakes I made. Clearly putting a “Mission Accomplished” on a aircraft carrier was a mistake. It sent the wrong message. We were trying to say something differently, but nevertheless, it conveyed a different message. Obviously, some of my rhetoric has been a mistake."
Um...obviously. But can't we get beyond rhetorical mistakes and admit/discuss actual mistakes??
Oh, and he managed to say "misunderestimated" in the press conference this morning. "Misunderestimated." Again. Sheesh, George. It's not a word. Stop saying it!
