Obama is never wrong
Never. Ever. No apologies. No retractions. No qualifications.

Not that he is alone. I don't remember Hillary Clinton's retractions either.

But, whether it's McClurkin or Axelrod, no matter what they say, he won't apologize for or retract a single word.

If Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee, I will support him without hesitation. I hope he will be a better president than candidate.

3. Kind of reminds one
Someone else with that same problem who runs things now. Do we really want a dem who won't admit when they are "wrong" in the Whitehouse?

6. Yeah, I really like that
John Edwards admits his mistakes..I'm that kinda person who thinks you learn more that way.

I don't know that Obama has never admited a mistake, though..he wrote in his book that he used cocaine and that was a Big Mistake..so there's one.

10. Hold on. Whitehouse is a magnificent senator.
The White House is a whole other entity.

7. He point blank said McClurkin was wrong.
He made a mistake saying Canada had a president. I think he's probably wrong on Peru trade.

But Axelrod did not blame Hillary for Bhutto's death, that's a lie and his campaign has nothing to apologize for. And every candidate has people who endorse them who have whacky ideas. He has nothing to apologze for there either.

The ones who really need to apologize are the ones who engage in partisan lies.

14. Of course McClurkin is wrong, the point is Obama let him emcee the event anyway
And never apologized for that.

8. Well I can think of two instances right off the top of my head:
In the debate before last he said he made a mistake not voting on Kyl-Lieberman (even though his vote would have made no difference - my commentary).

Also when asked about the Rezko "thing" on the radio, he said it was a "bone-headed" thing on his part.

13. Not only that. Anyone who opposes Obama is obviously of low moral character.
