I actually liked that she took responsibility for her actions, said she made a mistake, and then tried to move on to other things. Compare that to Donald Trump and the birther issue, along with other issues. Trump is still trying to blame others and not take responsibility for his actions. He could have easily said, "You know what I made a mistake. For years I said things I should not have said. If I could go back and do it over again I would change things. I would now like to move on to other things."
