When you make a mistake, admit it. Correct it. Move on.

MistakeIn less then two years we will be remembering the day liquor was illegal in the United States.  Like many things in life, “it seemed like a good idea at the time.” It didn’t turn out that way. It was an absolute disaster but it took until 1933 to recify the situation. One of the great dilemas facing this generation is health care.  No matter how it is viewed it is, to parapharase Oliver Hardy, “a fine mess we have gotten ourselves into.” Obamacare was a good start. Repealing is not possible. So, when you recognize a mistake – be you Democrat, Republican or GDI – you admit it, correct and move on. In America, nobody cares whose fault it is. Americans just want it fixed.  And a bit of advice to politicains of both partie:, they build no statues to people who make mistakes, only those who correct them.
