What Obama finds humbling

Favorite part of last night's press conference:

Q: What has humbled the new president in his first 100 days?

Humbled by the — humbled by the fact that the presidency is extraordinarily powerful, but we are just part of a much broader tapestry of American life, and there are a lot of different power centers. And so I can’t just press a button and suddenly have the bankers do exactly what I want or, you know, turn on a switch and suddenly, you know, Congress falls in line.
He's humbled to discover that he doesn't wield absolute power. Dang.

(Does he know what "humbled" means? Perhaps he's got it confused with "disappointed.")

Deliver us, O Lord.
