George W. Bush said that he hopes his successor (Obama) gets different press treatment

[zbdent]

than he received ...

Of course Bush wants that ... Bush got a 6.5 year Lewinsky ... why would he want the press to treat Obama that nicely?

1. And here I thought he said he didn't believe in self pity. Right.

He got a free pass for the majority of those 8 years, long enough to get his war on.

2. Bush got the kid gloves until Katrina

He pissed away the media's goodwill all on his own.

3. Exactly, and to tell the truth - even AFTER Katrina they still softballed him!

They never followed up on any of his avoidance of tough questions - if they even asked him tough ones in the first place!

4. Bush doesn't want his MANY PROTECTORS in the newsmedia going easy on Obama the same way? No surprise

there. If newsmedia did its job, Bush would never have been president or would have been forced into impeachment shortly after Sept.11, 2001, especially after the August 6 memo was made public - and especially after the Downing Street Memos were revealed.
