Hey, the LATimes thought it worth the comparison, maybe you should jot them an email complaining about it.

Btw, you have yet to have anything on your list.
Umm.... a barrier could be there for any number of reasons that have nothing to do with Obama.

Is it really shameful? Are you really going that dramatic with it? I mean, the guy's working to get over it and there's plenty of pics of him without any barrier, so like all the other fake critiques - like teleprompters (plenty of times he's spoken eloquently without them) - this one falls flat.

I point out every single time your arguments fail - it's astoundingly often. Seriously.

Are you seriously going to make a big deal out of this? He's clearly trying to move to the other side!

Come on - focus on important stuff.

Jesus. Get over your bad self would you? He looks like he is doing alright to me and I'm not even a huge Obama fan.

That's because you wish to continue your agenda of hatred for the party you didn't vote for; therefore, you're seeing what you want to see.

According to you, which doesn't mean a whole lot.

Seriously, email the LATimes and ask why they are comparing the pictures.

obama is not "working to get OVER the barricade". I'm sure he did the same thing right on down the line.

Are you seriously arguing that he's going to jump over the barricade? Hogwash.

He could have stepped on the floor and went along the line that way.

But really the point of the comparison I believe is that obama is a cold fish compared to bush.

Well! It's good to hear that the conservatives on this board, in the span of one hour, have gone from "Californians are narrow-minded, hateful and not to be trusted" (when Karl Rove was confronted) to the "It's the LA Times...so you MUST trust it" mentality. That all by itself is very telling and makes this thread a good lesson as to agendas.

To sell papers, why the heck do you think??? They're a newspaper. Capitalism and the furthering of businesses and all that...aren't you for it? So what's the matter...what happened to the whole "The media is run by the left wing and their agenda and they all have a liberal slant" stance? Disappeared in a puff of smoke based on one article you agreed with, eh?

It has just occurred to me that some of those soldiers in the photos with Bush might very well have been killed in battle. I don't care if Bush kissed and hugged them and gave them each a massage, he is responsible for their being where they were and most of it based on lies. Comparing photos...give me a break!

This is online, not in the hard copy paper.

Seriously, jot them an email and whine about it.

Since the soldiers in Afghanistan are dying in records numbers under obama, I'm sure some of those at that photo-op will not make it home.

I have no idea why you keep falling back on blaming the LA Times. I've never read it and probably never will, but that's about as sloppy and biased "journalism" as one could ever imagine.

I can't control that. But the fact that you have chosen to stand behind that sloppy journalism and stake your reputation on it is the reason for your massive fail.

Seriously Sanrene. Do you really want to spend the golden years of your life so intently focused on somebody you so obviously hate? Seems like a sad way to spend the fleeting years of this wonderful world.
