"Look, I made a mistake, and I was quick to change it. I'm not perfect. When I make a mistake, I hear it and change it," Emanuel said. "And I don't have a problem saying that. But I won't make an apology for the fact I think President Obama is a great president. I wanted to honor him. I wanted to be the city to have the first high school named after him. In my rush to do it, I clearly offended people, so I backed off of it. I will never back off of my love and affection for a great president. But I made a mistake."
