BO: "I Screwed Up"... but please don't headline that quote

"Obama seeks to weather fallout of nomination woes" was the headline of the story from the AP. Reading further down the page was the quote "I screwed up." Which BO said "repeatedly" during an Oval Office interview. His top nominees withdrew from the positions that BO appointed them to, but under scrutiny, it was revealed that they were not exactly the upstanding, ethical bunch of people he thought they would be.

You do realize that the headline would have been "I Screwed Up" had this happened to Bush. How can you NOT print that quote as the headline? Spin, I tell ya, spin.

BO sounds a little contradictory here.
