Obama: My Biggest Mistake Was I Didn't 'Tell A Story To The American People'

(CBS News) President Obama’s biggest mistake during his first term, he told CBS News in an exclusive interview, has been putting policy over storytelling.

Mr. Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama sat down Thursday with “CBS This Morning” anchor Charlie Rose in the White House Blue Room, where they discussed the failures and successes of his administration as he heads into another election, among other things.

Mr. Obama acknowledged the dissonance between others’ perception of his strength as an expert orator, and his own.
