An interesting read, comparing the treatment of Bush by the press to the treatment of Obama, on similar issues:

What's funny to consider, is how closely Obama has followed Bush's track record.

The largest difference between the two is that Obama is well spoken. Perhaps the words aren't what many want to hear, but they are offered to our ears in a way that we aren't offended.

Bush always sounded like he had no fucking idea what was going on. He never seemed to have his shit in order.

I read a story today about how Obama has managed to play as many games of golf in 9 months, that Bush did in almost 3 years (24 times I believe). reminded me of how I would hear people yap on and on about how Bush would do the same.

Yeah, no matter the side of the spectrum that people are on, they always back their man and condemn the other person in every way possible. The love/hate mentality that people who follow politics is unbelievable.

It isn't just politics though, it's life in general. It is human nature to defend your own right or wrong.

Yes, but nothing is as polarizing as religion and politics. That's not saying these foundations are bad, but just narrow minded in some fields. Hell, even religious zealots don't seem as crazy as some of the liberals/conservative people I've met, there's no pleasing them if their man isn't in the White House.

My best guess is its because Obama was never a cokehead (as far as I know). It's like Dave Chappelle said

"Please, sign the treaty! I SUCK YO DICK!!"

Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

"MR. PRESIDENT! That is not how we do business around here sir! Stop sucking the ambassadors dick!"

Kefka! "No, no let him finish. I sign the treaty."


There are a lot of what if's in life Donny. What if I hit you really hard in the face, knocked yo shit to the back of yo skull? What if I....had you girl gargle my nuts? The fact remains, you are a fuckin mutant.

If doctor doom had been elected president, that shit in Iraq would've been taken care of the day before he was in office.
