A trio of the President's top advisers demurred today when asked what they regret about Obama's first year in office, citing only the President's flubbed oath of office as an embarrassing moment.
In an interview with CNN's Wolf Blizter, press secretary Robert Gibbs, senior adviser David Axelrod and communications director Anita Dunn all said things had gone pretty much as the administration had planned.
"The thing that's been pleasing to me is that, by and large, things have gone as we--as we intended. We try and think things through," Axelrod said when Blitzer asked what the administratino's "biggest oops moment" had been.
"I wish we had gotten the swearing in--the inaugural oath right the first time," Axelrod quipped.
(Axelrod declined to place blame on Chief Justice John Roberts for fumbling the words to the oath.)
Dunn concurred with Axelrod's assessment.
"I'm a person who can, you know, at the end of every week look back and find about 2,000 things I would have done differently," Dunn said, before adding that Obama "administration has done a pretty good job of executing to get [Obama] where he wants to go and where he wants to lead the country."
