What's your greatest weakness?
The top three Democratic candidates were just asked it and all three gave cheesey responses, from Obama's "I'm disorganized" to Hillary's "I'm so eager for change I get impatient!"
Obama's answer will hurt him.
But I'm heartened that three bright, talented and ambitious people at the top of their game are just as lousy at answering that question as I am.

Ditto here, Scott. But I try to answer it with something that really could be a positive. One thing I have said on more than one occasion when asked that question is that I am a perfectionist. Sometimes I see that as something that drags the completion of a project out, but at the same time, the project is done right the first time.
Obama actually used that question in a speech later to poke fun at the other two's "picture perfect" responses. "My biggest weakness is that I always try to help old ladies cross the street and sometimes they don't want to be helped. It's terrible".
He's got a point though. Why are pols so afraid to show they have real-life weaknesses? It may hurt him, but I liked his answer the best.
