Please allow us to paraphrase what President Obama said during a town hall meeting at Facebook headquarters in Palo Alto, California: “I can’t wait until tomorrow, because I get more perfect every day.”
“If you had to do anything differently during your first four years,” one questioner asked, “what would it be?”
After several minutes of taxing his remarkable intellect (yes, the guy will tax anything) to think of something that hasn’t gone perfectly during his first two and a half years in office, he finally gave up.
“There are all sorts of day-to-day issues where I say to myself, oh, I didn’t say that right, or I didn’t explain this clearly enough,” Obama noted, “or maybe if I had sequenced this plan first as opposed to that one, maybe it would have gotten done quicker.”
But actual mistakes? None. Not one. He referenced the contentious ObamaCare debate and said, “I’ve asked myself sometimes is there a way that we could have gotten it done more quickly and in a way that the American people wouldn’t have been so frustrated by it?”
But that wasn’t Obama’s mistake and he was quick to point that out. “I’m not sure I could have because there’s a reason why it hadn’t gotten done in a hundred years … It’s hard to fix a system as big as health care and as complicated as our health care system.”
After wracking his brain for several more minutes, the President just plain gave up on trying to think of any mistakes and began talking about anything that came to mind. He rambled into a long list of unrelated topics, like immigration reform. And the deficit. And energy. And education.
But mistakes? By this time he was hoping that the audience had forgotten he question.
Which may have been a mistake in itself.

I know it feels like an eternity after just two years, but I can't be the only one to catch the error in the question from the Facebook user..."If you had to do anything differently during your first four years,” one questioner asked, “what would it be?"
FOUR years?
Since we're going back that far, I would've thought that Captain Zero would have picked this gem for his less than stellar judgment:

When he said he'd visited 57 states, that wasn't a mistake -- he really thinks there ARE 57 states.
And when he forgot the U.S. motto was "In God we trust", that wasn't a mistake, because he doesn't really trust God anyway.
And when he was not concentrating on reading his teleprompter and started reading the Irish Prime Minister's lines until he thanked himself, that wasn't a mistake either, because he read the words correctly, even if they were other people's words he wasn't supposed to read.
It's been a long time since we've had such a perfect Prez.
Instead of 'The King's Speech', it's the 'Turd's Teleprompter'
The original caption for the photo was "Shit for Brains"
IHTM has class.
Looks like Barry finally found some button-ups with a 12" neck. Could be an 'enhanced' photo, like his Certificate of Live Birth
Don't you wonder how that pencil-neck can hold up his enormous head?
I guess that's proof that his head is filled with Carbon emissions...
I'm just praying that on January 20th, 2013, a new president will utter these words once again to a new generation: "My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over."
Yes. He is perfect at making a total mess of everything.
Mistake? Yes, I do seem to remember making a mistake once. I thought I had done something wrong, but I was mistaken.
I'm very amazed his fat head fits through the door to the White House.
It doesn't. Didn't you see the video of him crawling though the window when the White House door was locked?
The things I thought of when I watched it was: Isn't that the way most crooks get into homes? Through an unlocked window? Is that why the Secret Service allowed the window to be unlocked? So the Obummer could feel right at home sneaking into his, for now, home?
They widened it at the cost of $73,400 of the taxpayer's money.
Another job created by the stimulus! Oh, thank you, Mr. President!
You people are bigots!
Obama is perfect -- A perfect ass.
Oh, man! You took the words right off my keyboard!
I would have given you TWO thumbs up, but I can only give you one on this site.
It is not that he wants to be so condeded,he just figures how can everybody in the MSM be wrong. It is the same reason he believes his a$$ is a lolipop,if it wasn't why would everybody at ABC,NBC.CBS,CNN,MSNBC,NY TIMES,ETC be licking it it all the time
The difference between God and Obama is that God does not believe he is Obama.
What is one other difference between God and Obama? God really does know it all!!!
What do God and Obama have in common?
Neither have a birth certificate.
