Obama said he had made mistakes during the first year, but the big issues had to be tackled.

"We immediately were confronted with just stacks of tough decisions that had to be made. During the course of this year we've had to make some decisions that were unpopular. We've made some mistakes. I've personally made some mistakes," he told ABC News.

"But what I can tell you is, a year later, I've never been more optimistic about the possibilities of America. I'm certainly a lot more optimistic than I was a year ago."

In the interview, he reminded Americans of the deep economic problems he inherited and the public animosity toward the previous administration. "The same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office," Obama said.

Thank God! I was afraid we had finally found something that Obama couldn't blame Bush for, but then Wham... he pulled it out.

I'm not sure why but this song seems appropriate at this time:
