George W. Bush said that he hopes his successor (Obama) gets different press treatment |
|
than he received ...
Of course Bush wants that ... Bush got a 6.5 year Lewinsky ... why would he want the press to treat Obama that nicely?

1. And here I thought he said he didn't believe in self pity. Right. |
|
He got a free pass for the majority of those 8 years, long enough to get his war on.

2. Bush got the kid gloves until Katrina |
|
He pissed away the media's goodwill all on his own.

3. Exactly, and to tell the truth - even AFTER Katrina they still softballed him! |
|
They never followed up on any of his avoidance of tough questions - if they even asked him tough ones in the first place!

4. Bush doesn't want his MANY PROTECTORS in the newsmedia going easy on Obama the same way? No surprise |
|
there. If newsmedia did its job, Bush would never have been president or would have been forced into impeachment shortly after Sept.11, 2001, especially after the August 6 memo was made public - and especially after the Downing Street Memos were revealed.
