WASHINGTON — Despite pressure from Democratic strategists, President Barack Obama appears to be resisting wholesale staff changes that would pry apart the circle of advisers he has relied on since the 2008 campaign.
Obama conceded he has made mistakes over the past two years, telling CBS’s “60 Minutes” in an interview to be televised Sunday that he failed to clearly explain his decisions — a communications problem he said had diminished him as a leader.
But he shielded his staff from blame, saying: “I take personal responsibility for that. And it’s something that I’ve got to examine carefully as I go forward.”
