Edited on Mon Sep-28-09 08:47 PM by KansasVoter
They only saw Bush do one thing at a time, and every thing he did was horrible!!

So when Obama can actually handle dozens of complicated tasks at once, it overwhelms their simple minds, so they react by saying Obama is doing too much!

They have not seen am intelligent, productive president for 8 years so it is hard on them to understand it.

Give them a couple of years and they will get used to it.

1. The joke in DC was that Clinton would have 3 TVs on at once - CNN,C-SPAN, ESPN, do the NYT crossword
talk to a congressman on the phone AND get a blowjob all at once.

And, he could.

2. This is why President O is at 60% approval rating (or whatever)
and not 80% approval rating, which is where he would be if the media reported things ACCURATELY, instead of HAPHAZARDLY/biased.

8. Exactly!
He probably had as many advisers as Obama does but there was never anyone in the WH to advise, and if he happened to be there he chose not to listen to them. He was too busy being a frat boy and making rude jokes. IMHO of the the ex-resident.

4. Gotta Give It To Single Task
He will go down as the most virile pResident of all time. The single task he excelled in most was screwing over 300-million people

6. That's a good point
Whenever Bush got his hands on a subject, he strangled it to death.

Even in his rare press conferences, he always managed to steer the conversation back to the subject du jour.

9. The media became as stupid as the Bush regime, is now confused
by an intelligent President and competent staffers.
There are maybe 6 really smart people "reporting" on TV news at the national level where there used to be several on each network.

12. +1 Chuck Todd as "Senior Poltical Correspondent". OMFG.
Is it too early to have a morbid fascination with the next batch of numbskulls the RNC will push for POTUS as the M$M cheers them on and enables their antics?

10. I recall a pic of someone apparently pulling up bush's fly...
If someone can't handle that simple task, how did he even manage a bowel movement w/o instructions?

bush had to be the absolute worst thing that this nation has ever seen. We've had some dud presidents, Coolidge, Harding, Buchanan, a couple of others, but no one even comes close to the sheer stupidity and laziness of bush...Nero w/o the fiddle.

11. Bush could not even clean out brush at the ranch
and do another task at the same time! The media sucks.

16. I think you've nailed it! MSM can't comprehend multi-tasking.
They aren't used to covering an extremely intelligent POTUS.

17. Bush was single-TALKING.
We never saw him working, except for his sweating a few minutes at a time on camera.

He was not selected to work.
