He is not the anointed one sent from God, he is a man like anyone else and as president he was a public servant, and he accepts all responsibilities involved.

      It wasn't like he forgot the name of something that just happened to be relevant in a conversation. He forgot one of only three things he wanted to abolish as when if and when he became president, presumably something he had studied in some depth in working out if its abolishment would be feasible. (Or perhaps he hadn't thought about that at all. Either way, it's pretty bad.) It's more like forgetting the name of your fiancée at the marriage ceremony than forgetting some random thing in a conversation.
