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"

“when you know that everything you saw will be presented in the best possible light... it’s amazing how relaxed you become”

exactly right. & Pres Bush had exactly the opposite situation.

the “press” has become so disgusting.

Sounds like Perky missed Bush's last press conference when he couldn't stop admiting mistakes (supposedly, the context is a 2004 press conference when he couldn't think of any mistakes his administration made).

In general, the idea that Obama is the "anti-Bush" is pretty silly. They're both Ivy Leaguers who came to the White House without much real experience. There are differences, but they're hardly opposites.

Uh, does Jimmy Carter ring a bell to this dingbat? He did nothing but admit mistakes.

EVERY SINGLE TV PERSONALITY HAS SAID THE SAME EXACT THING, they received the faxed (anti=Bush) talking points from Hussein/DNC.

I would love to see this memo, do we have any freepers who work in NY or DC newsrooms?

Katie is such a dimwit. It’s no wonder her program languishes in last place in ratings. She was such an airhead on the Today program, lacking any substance, I’m still amazed that CBS has kept her on as anchor.

Gravitas, that liberal standard they tried to apply to anyone who wasn’t a liberal, is now coming back to haunt the the Democratic party.

Obama’s administration of change, has no gravitas, only Clinton retreads.

Hillary is scheduling a trip to Southeast Asia, while the Mid-East is boiling over. What crisis is there in Southeast Asia?

Folks, hang on, because it’s going to be a wild ride with this group.

The master has spoken, he said he was sorry, so we can now all go off to la-la happy-fairy-land where Obammy speaks, and everything is perfect.

When they meet:
