Ooooohh noo......don't go there, what's good for one isn't good for anyone else.
Obama did what few POTUS' (es?, i,?) do, (and also what I hate) he said something, realized what he said and then corrected it. (the exception being is that he has so far fixed some of his gaffes faster than some others)
Why? Because like anyone else, he exercised his right to say what he wanted, but then realized the consequences and repercussion of what he did and corrected himself.
What I said earlier wasn't to give him a free pass to what he said, just for you to realize that he did what most people won't do, he corrected what could be seen as a mistake...thought personally he should have stuck with it and let it stand...but...and this goes for those who are in the public eye, he chose to fix it so so to not hurt his standing.
