Washington, DC - President Obama says he makes mistakes, but has learned from them and is a better president heading into his re-election campaign.

"I second-guess constantly," Obama told ABC News. "I make a mistake, you know, every hour, every day ... (but) there are always things that you're learning in the job."

"And I have no doubt that I'm a better president now than the day I took office just because you get more experience," he said. "But when you look at the broad outlines of what we did, had it not been for the steps we took our economy would be profoundly weaker than we are right now."

Obama cited the Recovery Act -- also known as the stimulus bill -- as well as the auto bailout.

As ABC notes, "the president was responding to a question by a Yahoo user asking him if there's something he learned about himself and wished he had done in the first three years."

The president wraps up a post-State of the Union tour with an education speech today at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
