washingtonpost.com — Members of the White House press corps traveling with Obama were baffled: Even Bush, the great unilateralist, had been more willing to mix it up with journalists, foreign and domestic, while abroad. After reporters complained to White House press secretary Robert Gibbs about a lack of communication, he issued a 61-word written statement.

I like to watch the Obamazombies try and defend this guy. Its really good comedy. They dont actually defend him, they just verbally assault the person making the critiques.He has been in office for 10 months now and has only managed to f**k things up even worse than Bush.

Oh you're totally right. That whole 'independence' thing is SO over-rated. Fighting the greatest military power the world had ever seen was such an easy job. So was keeping his army together at Valley Forge. Its amazing how little of their country's history teenagers know.

Bush didn't have Bush before him.

Technically, yes he did. Try the 41st President of the United States.And what relevance does the previous President have to the statement that Bush is more willing to talk to the press than Obama? Also - people aren't asking the Secretary of State about these things because the PRESIDENT IS THE ONE WHO WENT TO CHINA!!Like I said - your ignorance baffles me.

You're impossible. In your first sentence you tell me that whatever happened before taking office doesn't count, then you say that racism Obama experienced before taking office counts. Also - You think the fact that some refused to vote for him because he is black as well as the fact that some voted for him only because he is black (Obama said that) is in ANY WAY comparable to having the largest army on the face of the earth trying to find you and hang you?During his Administration, Washington had to create and develop the Cabinet. It took Congress five months to authorize the first four Cabinet posts. Washington also pushed for the creation of the Bill of Rights during his Administration. Refusing a third term was a massive precedent, and you think Obama should ignore it and the Constitution. Washington also had to navigate the Whiskey Rebellion and deal with the French Revolution.Obama hasn't done anything positive at all. Not. One. Thing.

Every last cent measured at recovery.gov. And spent in congressional districts that DO NOT EXIST!Says the auditor Obama appointed - “Your letter specifically asks if I am able to certify that the number of jobs reported as created/saved on Recovery.gov is accurate and auditable. No, I am not able to make this certification." So no. Nothing is accounted for.Thanks for playing. Try again.
