Didn't Bush spend the toughest day of his presidency looking like a deer caught in headlights, reading My Pet Goat to a kindergarten class?

Can you hide this level of incompetence, not even in a second grade classroom.

Can American call for a mulligan?  Demand a birth certificate now.

What were the exact words that were whispered to Bush while in the classroom? I think Bush could have done some things a lot different that day but until you can tell me exactly what was said, you are a blowhard.

a little slack here, but just a little.

I realize he is new to this, and dealing with the MSM has probably got to be stressful, especially when someone you picked for a cabinet job turns out to be a dud.

Besides, something tells me Tom D wasn't exactly forthcoming about his little tax issue.

I just hope he mans up after this, 'cause there is some very bad things going on in this world right now. An Iranian satellite got launched today, the Norks are playing around with toys they shouldn't be allowed to have, the Russian navy is playing around in our own backyard, and AQ has pretty much told the man to go pound sand.

I will give him a mulligan just this once, as national security was not exactly at stake today.

Our clueless political leaders are about to drive us all over a cliff. The time to HITM is now-before we go over.

I can't help but notice how aloof and and loose Obama acts.  During the campaign it looked like he was a cool cat and very much in control. 

 Now that he is in the White House that same cool act makes me very nervous.  I can't help but think that he is still shocked that he actually won this thing and is now in charge.

Worse yet, I am worried that he is flying by the seat of his pants.  Many of his reactions to recent events are not reactions I would expect from an experienced executive or seasoned professional.  The trash talking and bad jokes (about Rush and Fox News etc) look to me like attempts to distract everyone from the possibility that he is losing control.

 God help us.

There are 10 types of people.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.

"President Barack Obama did what surely made him happy for a while. He left."

Obama sure spent a lot of time and money and got a lot of liberals excited to get to the point of doing what makes him happy - leaving the White House.

Just imagine how happy we'll be in four years when he finally leaves for good... 

The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.

When it comes to trolls like GM, apathy is our most sagacious resource.

Give these trolls ample latitude and they'll spark their own war against mental health and they'll thin their own ranks.  The bitter irony is that they probably reject Darwin's theories, while we, on the other hand, rely on them.

For the MSM: In your pomp and all your glory, you're a poorer man than me.  As you lick the boots of death born out of fear.

The comments from "Guttermouth" (I guess that says it all) are among the most thoughtless, ridiculous, unintelligible -- and just plain weird -- I've read in a long time. If Guttermouth is so hyped against us, then I'd say we can feel pretty good about the respectable and decent folks we are. It's like the matter of truth...when you hear truth, you just know it. And, likewise, when you hear bull...you know that, too. A difference of opinion or perspective is one thing. But Guttermouth is a rather sad depiction of a human being.  

Let's see if the liberal media keeps a running count of Obammy's on-the-job/on-vacation ratio as they did with President Bush.

Mr. President:

Put the crack pipe down and get to work.

Alright, what idiots made this nitwit President?

This incident paints a very scary portrait of what the next four years will be like.

"We were just tired of being in the White House,"

Jesus H.!!!  He just got there!!!

He even had his own little White House in Chicago, complete with faux presidential seal and everything...no smear, no tactic was too low to get him there...no friend too loved to keep from throwing under the bus...no plastic Greek column was left unturned...and now he wants to get out?

Man, he's like a little restless kid for God's sake...and God help us. 

One of the 24% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 89% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

  Why is it liberals automatically go to President Bush's lost 7 minutes when it comes to 9/11 memories.

  I remember I wanted to put a gun to my head and pull the trigger as though it was some personal failure of my own that led to 9/11. That is how horrible I felt that day.

  Some of the reasoning has been noted here already but I shall endeavor to add more.

  Here is what was known at the time the staff member whispered in the President's ear.

  Civilians had flown civilian airliners into civilian & military targets. This was an attack on the (perceived) economic and military targets. What was missing was the attack on the (perceived) GOVERNMENT target. To the muslim mind that knows little of our government and lots about their theocratic and dictorial governments, the government target would be the top of the government, the President.

  Here is what was not known.

  Did the terrorists know the actual location of the President, our were they assuming he would be at his normal residence?

  If the terrorists actually KNEW the location of the President, would they target the school? From above? Or using an outside group?

  Or would they target the motorcade, or some location along the path of the motorcade to the Airport where Air Force One was parked? Would there be gunmen lying in wait along the path to Air Force One? Or would there possibly be bombs in the path? or both?

  Was Air Force One itself a target? Was Air Force One a target on the ground, as it took off, or was it a target in the air?

  That the secret service was able to determine the answer in 7 minutes is worthy of praise. They were at a civilian location, could only call in civilian help for the motorcade (the local police), and Air Force One was at a civilian airport.

   Yet, in those 7 minutes, the secret service determined the best path ahead was to get the President to Air Force One and get it in the air. Then deal with threats from there.

   How much time would this guttersnipe need to determine it was safe to get from point a to point b when a lot more is unknown than known and it is a life or death matter? I think it will take him a considerably longer time and someone will have to clean up the pee running down his leg.

  And yes, it is odd that Osama bin Laden and the guttersnipe are in agreement about Bush and the Pet Goat book. Bin Laden has said almost the same thing. The only difference, bin Laden does not have an internet connection on his mountaintop hideaway and needs proxies to sign in to NB for him. 

Sincerely,

I see he is just getting his "footing".

 But I also see a person with a LOT of hubris, and a dash of arrogance.

It's symptomatic of a new president, but I find Pres. Obama has more, coasting on his popularity.

What's a little strange, is that I don't sense any firm "old" hand, in the background, shielding this President from the various travails he has suffered from since he came in. Either he bridles at advice, in general, or maybe, Rahm, for example, should get off the phone with his Clinton Cronies and begin to watch the President's "back".

He is learning, that's for sure. I only hope that we, as a nation, don't get hurt during his probation. 

Critics and "comics" (Hello, Joy Behar) spent the last seven years deriding President Bush because he was in Florida at an elementary school reading to children when 9/11 occurred.  How could someone be so incompetent and so out-of-touch as to be talking to children while the country faced a crisis? they asked.

Now they praise their Messiah  and  worship him  for taking time from his busy schedule, despite the economy imploding and his nominees being punted for tax evasion, to speak to the children of our country.  How special!
