AITOOW would like a politician to (just once) admit they made a mistake. They moan about the impossible standards they are held to yet try and make us believe they are up to them. Which is it? Are you perfect? In which case the standards are reasonable and your moaning is unreasonable (which incidently makes you imperfect). Or are you imperfect and the moaning is reasonable. Robot Obama today on The View exemplified this obstinancy. He preached unity while still supporting his Reverend Wrong. Just say he was wrong and you were wrong in judging his character and will ask him to change or you will avoid his counsel. Unfortunately, we know it's not the balance of your work that is judged but your lowest point - (like what Barbara Wawa found to be similiar with Don Imus' speech on those nappy headed ho's).
Look Clinton is the Queen of Justification and Bush is the King. I'm not singling out any one pol. I'm just saying that in a country where mea culpa is a national pastime, it would seem that it would be a politically expedient tact to employ. I know they are trying to avoid the sound bite that is put on a TV ad. But, it's already out there in substance if not form. Why not try and repair some of the overall damage to the candidate by trading in for some good will in the credibility and honesty departments. Listening to Robot side step the issue I couldn't help losing respect for him in those categories and I wouldn't have raised my opinion of him on the issue in question. It was a triple loss. With a possiblle check mark for loyalty. Still a cumulative negative 2. And is loyalty something the electorate pines for after GWB?
*BTW - I spelled prerfect that way on purpose.
