Greensboro resident Tim Tribbett says he’ll give President Obama the same respect liberals have shown President Bush over the last eight years:
Whenever he makes a mistake, I will try to exaggerate it. I will miss no opportunity to call him a liar even if I know he is not.
I will pretend he is an idiot when he makes a verbal gaffe.
I will hope all of his policies are embarrassing failures even though they may be good for the country. (That doesn’t matter as long as he looks bad.)
I will oppose any military action he undertakes no matter how justified because war is always bad.
I will always question his intentions even if I think he has the country’s best interest at heart.
Every chance I get, I will petition my representative in Congress to impeach him even if he has done nothing impeachable.
Meanwhile, liberal columnist and education expert Leonard Pitts doesn’t want to hear any nonsense about media mistreatment of Bush:
For my money, of all the things he has done that have damaged this nation — we’re talking lies and alibis, torture, the loss of American prestige, watching passively as New Orleans drowned, censoring science, politicizing the Justice Department, a ruinous war of choice in Iraq, spending with all the discipline of an 8-year-old in a candy store — arguably the most damaging legacy this president leaves is that he has undermined truth itself.
…..Now, we are offered one last single-digit salute to our collective intelligence in the form of this grotesque suggestion that we should be ashamed of how we have treated President Bush. If anyone should feel shame, it is Bush and the cadre of sycophants that has enabled him for eight long years.
And this is just the beginning. The media’s collective ass-showing come January will be mind-blowing.
