Hey Bam, that's not the door!

It looks like President Obama hasn't gotten acquainted to his White House surroundings. On the way back to the Oval Office Tuesday, the President approached a paned window, instead of the actual door -- located a few feet to his right.

Doors didn't open automatically for Obama’s predecessor either. While making a hasty exit from a 2005 press conference in Beijing, former President George W. Bush tugged on the handles of a door, only to find it locked.

The Bush photo shows his self-deprecating sense of humor very well. I doubt we’ll be seeing much self-deprecating humor for the next four years, alas.

Is that one door? One window? How about 57 or 58 states? Will not be on Letterman. They want to suck his **** just like Monica was doing Clinton.

Don’t be like the left who saw a turd floating on the top of a cesspool and proclaimed it to be walking on water.

Lisa O’Neil’s bias is just dripping all over this “article”.

Bush laughed off the blunder, but the pictures still live on as part of Bush’s lame duck legacy. However, there was little note taken of Obama’s rookie mistake.

Obama, who was returning from meeting with Congressional leaders, may have been distracted by Republicans’ icy reception to his $825 billion stimulus package, which is poised to pass on Wednesday even without a groundswell of Republican support.>>>

Wow...so Lisa lets us know that pictures of Bush going to a locked door were part of a lame duck legacy and that Obama made a rookie mistake and that it’s the fault of Republicans because he was distracted by their icy reception but it’s ok...because gosh darnit! They have enough votes without them!

Stupid dunce.

Okay, sure I see the similarity between President Bush’s gaffe and the Obamessiah’s gaffe.

President Bush was in a foreign country in a completely unfamiliar room.

President Nobama was in his own house.

Check. That’s almost the same.

President Bush tried to open a door that was locked, which he had no way of knowing was locked.

President Obama tried to go through a window...one with no door handle or hinges.

Check. That’s almost the same.

President Bush laughed at his own mistake and the media played it over and over and over.

President Nobama’s mistake will never see the light of day on the media.

Check. That’s almost the same.

Hey, Obama, here’s a clue: Marines stand by the doors, not the windows.

“President Bush laughed at his own mistake and the media played it over and over and over.”

I’m not even sure this was Bush’s mistake. Maybe somebody told him that was the door to use. We’ll never know, since Bush made a funny face, and brushed it off.

Obama, on the other hand, is worse at finding doors than he is at bowling.

Thanks for the laugh, but now I've got to clean up my monitor.

What do you mean, "either"? Obama's wasn't even a door.
