Quote from Thunderdog:
Your compass is off. When asked during a recent interview, it was Bush who couldn't think of a single mistake he made during his presidency. Obama openly admitted at the outset that there would be trial and error, because what is going on has never happened before. He is not so naive as to believe they'll get everything right the first time. But they are going on a best efforts basis with their eyes wide open, and you are nothing but a member of the discouragement fraternity.
