Seriously? You don't have a clue about my political leanings. I just don't believe in beating a dead horse.

pretty much.

the dems had a field day with bush for 8 years.

the reeps will do the same with obama.

there are bigger things in life, and he's still the president.

"September 4th 2001. I stood in the ruins of the twin towers. It is a day i will never forget."

"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."

no amount of bowing will EVER make up for these two gems.

Bush's verbal gaffes were funny, this is not.

he hardly did them for entertainment. he is an idiot. obama made a mistake (if you want to call it that). big difference.

So Bush's mistakes in which he unintentionally either mis-spoke or said a sentence that sounded funny make him an idiot. An idiot with degrees from both Harvard and Yale I might add.

Obama's "mistake" in which he intentionally bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia is ok though.

You are right about one thing- there IS a big difference.

Just because one has an Ivy League education doesn't make them any less of an idiot.

Why are you still harping on this?

You got another 4 years to catalog Obama's gaffes if you so desire...let this one go.

there are plenty of "idiots" with degrees with harvard and yale. bush was a repeat offender. if you really want, one could go through 8 years of political gaffes. it's ok if you dislike obama, but your severe bias is showing.

i never said obama's mistake was ok. however, i'm not getting bent out of shape because of it. i don't think you want to compare obama's and bush's educational records. one is a lesson in mediocrity, the other isn't.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

If you actually spent time with Bush and talked to him you would realize that he is not an "idiot". Great personality, great storyteller. Can work a room better than anyone.

Carry on.

Too many people have died so that US citizens wouldn't have to bow to any foreign power. The head bob that both of the Obamas gave to the Queen was appropriate, and not offensive. The bowing to the Saudi King will almost definitely come back to bite the President in the behind.

No, he just plays one on TV.

I don't see how any of those qualities or abilities make him not an idiot. They just make him good with people.
