Obama: Biggest mistake too much perspiration, not enough inspiration
Call it "too much substance, not enough style?" President Barack Obama says his biggest mistake since getting to the White House three and a half years ago has been his tendency to tackle the job as national policy wonk rather than the inspiring figure he cut in the 2008 campaign.
"When I think about what we've done well and what we haven't done well," the president told CBS television in an interview, "the mistake of my first term - couple of years - was thinking that this job was just about getting the policy right."
"And that's important. But the nature of this office is also to tell a story to the American people that gives them a sense of unity and purpose and optimism, especially during tough times," Obama said in an excerpt of the exchange with Charlie Rose.

Jackass has it backwards. If' he'd work a little harder instead of swooning liberals into fainting, golfing and fundraising all the time, perhaps he'd have a cohesive economic policy that would be generating jobs.
