In his first two weeks in office, Barack Obama has done (at least) two things that George Bush couldn’t find the time for in 8 years (for the record, we are not counting listening to Earth, Wind, and Fire).
1) When he screwed something up, he apologized.
Funny how admitting wrong doing and subsequently taking the appropriate steps to stay the change course, and using common sense are not mutually exclusive. Personally, I think Daschle would have made a great HHS Secretary, but I suppose appointing someone to a salaried position in the presidential cabinet who owes the IRS a couple hundred thousand in back taxes is a teensy bit hypocritical.
