Appearing on Wednesday’s CBS Early Show, Evening News anchor Katie Couric discussed her White House interview with President Obama regarding the withdrawal of recent cabinet nominees: "He is surprisingly relaxed...extremely comfortable, very focused. It’s very different than sort of the buttoned-up Bush White House...he said to every person who interviewed him...that he ‘screwed up,’ he ‘messed up.’ And I think he really is trying to be the anti-Bush because President Bush was so criticized for never saying, you know, ‘I made a mistake.’" On Tuesday’s Evening News, Couric portrayed Obama as a victim.

Early Show co-host Harry Smith agreed with Couric and pointed out another criticism of the Bush administration: "There was also criticism of too much loyalty." Like Couric, Smith then praised Obama for being the "anti-Bush"

I have heard that Katie Couric has nice boobs.

I have never seen her on the Today Show, or on the so called News program that she does.

The difference is that if Bush said that he made a mistake, it was a headline driving “gotcha” moment. Obama can make the same mistake and he is praised for being so “human”.

Also, even while zero is admitting mistakes, his pathetic press secretary is defending the same vetting process Obama is apologizing for.

He’s already looked in to the eyes of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn quite a bit. I’d say he’s used to looking into the eyes of killers.

I don't know about you, but I feel way better that we have a self-confessed screw-up in the White House!

“Wait till Obama meets Putin and looks into the eyes of a killer.”

Like he’s never done THAT before.

Obama fails...blame Bush.
Obama fails...blame whitey.
Obama fails...it ain’t his fault.
Obama fails...make some sort of racist excuse.

Blame it on Bush, Hannity and Rush....blame, blame blame.

Gee, whatever happened to sincere remorse for immoral actions?

Katie, I think that as time goes on, that’s not going to be considered a compliment.

Sorry - if he is going to stand up and confront the American citizens, and the people of the world, and say “Sorry I made a mistake” - then he is NOT MY PRESIDENT. I don't care when a human being makes a mistake as long as the country survives, BUT I don't care to know about it. The hell with all this touchie feelie openness crap.
