At last night’s press conference, President Bush was asked if he could name his biggest mistake in office. At first he said, “I’m sure something will pop into my head here.” But then he couldn’t name a single miscue. As he concluded: “I don’t want to sound like I have made no mistakes. I’m confident I have. I just haven’t–you just put me under the spot here, and maybe I’m not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with one.”

A few Bush errors did pop into my head, as I’m sure they did yours. And the folks at the Center for American Progress, sensing a good opportunity to help the anti-Bush cause while having some fun, have unveiled a new online poll. They were able to think of five big Bush mistakes and are asking the public to vote on which one they consider the most egregious. Click here to vote today.
