Something you never see

A reporter in Georgia published a column describing his distaste for Sen. Obama based on an event that that occurred two years ago. Obama had mistaken the young reporter for a student, saying that, "I thought you were a college student. You have such a baby face." Apparently, this statement got in the way of the man's pursuit of a young female reporter. In his column, the reporter said that Obama owed him an apology. And Obama did something completely out of character for a politician. The same day the column was published, he called the reporter and apologized to him for "messing up his game".

That's something you just don't see in Washington these days, and its really classy. It is a refreshing change to see someone who is willing to apologize for his mistakes (however minor), and not weasel out of them.
