Go Jesse!
If Obama is really lucky, Jesse Jackson will curse him every day from now until November—and keep right on apologizing. The candidate himself shouldn't issue any more needless apologies, though, as he sort of did in second-guessing his decision to let his little girls be interviewed on television. It's easy to understand how he came to that conclusion, though his girls were nothing but charming. But as LBJ said, Americans will forgive you anything except looking weak. For a long time, they loved it that Bush never seemed to second-guess himself on anything. And though I happen to think the ability to admit a mistake is a sign of strength, Obama should do nothing to validate the Republican suggestion that he's got a little Jimmy Carter in him.
