Is Obama Just Like bush???

Speaking of disappointments with the president, I was frankly embarrassed by his recent trotting out of former President Bill Clinton not merely to back up his recent economic deals, but leaving him at the mike to take all questions from the press corps.

His reason for leaving? He had to attend a Christmas party. He was keeping the First Lady waiting, and didn't want to anger her.

I am sure there will be many who belittle or minimize this confusingly silly event. Is it really that big a deal?

Well, to answer this question, imagine how we would feel if George W. Bush, upon having struck an imbecilic tax deal, brought out his father to back him up. He says to the press, "Heh heh, y'all know my dad. He was president once too, and actually, I know that the economy was better in his day than in mine. So, heh heh, I figgered y'all might wanna talk to him. He's got a lot of good stuff to say, and he can answer yer questions. As fer me, heh, I'm keepin' Laura waitin' at a Christmas party, and I don't wanna keep her waitin'. So, I'll see y'all later, and if ya have any questions, my dad will take them." At which point, George H. W. Bush took to the mike alone, a former president answering questions as though he were the current president on myriad political issues of the day.

Just askin'
