The ONLY similarity is that the press seems afraid to ask hard questions or use their own brains.
For instance, remember when Obama got permission from his friend to use parts of his speech? NO big deal in practice for a politician to do that. But that was during the time frame where Obama's huge talking point was that he is not a typical politician (he only first got elected 8 years ago to any office after all), yet all the press did was lead us for days down the wrong path by only asking "was it plagiarism". Missed the point.

Second instance was when Obama had the closed fundraiser for admittedly wealthy people in San Fransisco. This is where he mentioned people clinging to guns and religion. During this time frame, Obamas huge talking point was superior judgment. The press lead us for days down the path of "is he elitist?" rather than questioning just how bad your judgment must be to be on the doorstep of the silicon valley, with wealthy people, and thinking that you are not being recorded. Horrible judgment.

Dont forget, the day after he said those remarks he forcefully reitterated that what he'd said, he MEANT. It was only 2 days later on Monday where he regrettfully admitted that he'd "mangled" his words. But again, this is ALL beside the point: his judgment was atrociously bad.

Now lets touch on his Wright problem just for a second. Did you know that 12 months ago, the NY Times did an interview with Wright where Wright said that he and Obama had discussed the fact that at some point, Obama would have to distance himself from Wright? Of course you probably did NOT know that, since YOU would actually have to go and look for it online. It has NOT been reported.

So yes, I see that one similarity between Bush and Obama: the general national TV media are idiots.
