WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama acknowledged Tuesday that he had "made a mistake" in trying to exempt some candidates for positions in his administration from strict ethics standards and accepted the withdrawal of two top nominees, including former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, the first major setback of his young presidency.

Obama said "Did I screw up in this situation? Absolutely. I'm willing to take my lumps," Obama said in an interview with NBC's Brian Williams, one of five interviews he conducted Tuesday. In interview after interview with network anchors, Obama said there are "not two sets of rules" for people — and said that average taxpayers deserve to have public officials who pay their taxes on time.
