PRESIDENT ADMITS HE WAS WRONG ...

Unfortunately it was President Lincoln, in a letter to Ulysses S. Grant. It was simple and to the point: "I now wish to make the personal acknowledgment that you were right, and I was wrong."

Perhaps most importantly, he did it the moment he understood he was wrong. Lincoln’s legal colleague wrote, "It required no effort on his part to admit another man's superiority … [and] was perfectly in character."

What? You thought I was talking about this guy?
