Did you see that? After Obama's statement in the Rose Garden when the

[gateley]

crowd headed back to the WH, the door was opened for him, but he took it and held it open for the other people. What a class act!

[MineralMan]

1. He's a classy guy!

[Zoeisright]

2. Class act indeed.

Compare that to the boorish Bush the stupider, who tried to barge in ahead of President Clinton (just after the latter's heart surgery) at the opening of the Clinton Presidential Library.

[gateley]

4. I was trying to imagine Bush doing that. Nope. Just wouldn't have happened.

(I mean holding the door open for others - not what he did w/Clinton - THAT I can easily picture!)

[pinboy3niner]

5. Bush would have tried to open the locked door. :)

[gateley]

7. Again. :-) nt

[glitch]

11. Remember when Bush tried to squeeze through the door with Clinton?

IIRC when Clinton was still recovering from his heart attack.

[BrklynLiberal]

19. EXACTLY what came to my mind as well.

[glitch]

20. We don't forget creepy shit like that. nt

[W_HAMILTON]

22. Do you have video of this?

I vaguely remember it, and wanted to see it again.

[peekaloo]

23. .

at the opening of BC's Presidential "Liberry" no less

[W_HAMILTON]

24. Ugh.

What a doofus.

[glitch]

25. No, sorry. It's from memory. nt

3. k&r

[bushisanidiot]

6. I saw him do the same thing last week, or whenever his last speech was

at the white house.

He's a VERY classy guy. I couldn't be more proud to have him as my President! :)

[gateley]

8. Ditto. I was ashamed when Bush was at the helm. nt

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

9. Yep. I absolutely loved it when during the debates, he would hold Hillary's chair out

for her. No matter how nasty she got in the campaign, he would always be kind and kiss her on the cheek. Greet her with a smile, and make sure her seat was prepared for her and push the seat in when she was comfortable.

Such a gentleman!!

[BlueIdaho]

12. Classy guy, what did he say about tax cuts for the rich?

[gateley]

14. That he wants to retain the tax cuts for those who make less than $250K, which,

he reminded us, is over 95% of Americans, and stop giving breaks to the millionaires and billionaires.

It was a good statement - I'm guessing it'll be on the WH site if it's not already. Check it out. :hi:

[BlueIdaho]

17. Thanks! nt.

[whoneedstickets]

13. It's beneath him as president, just like those deep bows...

He's #1 dammit!!! :sacrcasm:

[gateley]

15. Yes! Must respect the President! Except he shouldn't be allowed to talk to school

children. That's a little too much respect. :eyes:

[Dappleganger]

16. His grandma would be proud...

she probably taught him that and his grandpa modeled it.

Manners are the best gift a parent can give to their children.

[gateley]

18. Awww - I bet you're right. They were certainly wonderful people. nt

[progressoid]

21. Oh, c'mon. Bush opened doors too...

sort of.
