Not just Bush, but Reagan as well - both showed their great reverance for THE OFFICE of the president. Obviously, obama thinks he is above the office.



Why is it that republican presidents have so much respect for the office of the presidency, while democrats show so much disrespect? I don't think we need to be reminded of what Bubba did in the oval office, do we?
Here you go.
Two seconds of research and you could have avoided looking so misinformed. Did Rush put you up to that?

I missed that. He was trying to climb into the White House via a fixed window???? That can not be .

Here you go - jot off an email to CNN and tell them how uninformed they are.

I have a feeling comprehension is not one of your strong suits - notice the date of the CNN story and the date of the HuffPo story. Please, to avoid showing your ignorance again, you must thoroughly research before making such a claim.

who cares when they came out or how far they had to dig to find them?! They are there, they are reality. Can we please discuss something that matters?

I believe the point is, Sanrene, you are quick to run with any story that gives you an excuse to bash the President, without ever checking facts.

Well, let's see. CNN reported this little tidbit - shouldn't they have scoured the internet for a pic of Bush without his jacket? And then, lo and behold, HuffPo comes up with a pic, not on the same day as the CNN story.

So, I guess I should have waited to see if any other news outlet could debunk the CNN story - is that what you're saying?

Hasn't the Left been running with factless stories about Bush for 8 years?

uuummm, no.

Don't admit you were wrong, or anything. Just blame it on CNN.

No. Learn to do your own research and form your opinion based on facts instead of relying on a blog to tell you what to think.

Ovcotto easily found a pic of a coatless President Kennedy, linked on page 3 of this thread.
