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"

Couric portrayed Obama as a victim.

I wonder if Putin thinks Obama is a victim or just a wussy.

Bush did admit mistakes...mistakes like not fighting back hard enough and fast enough to the slander by the MSM and Democrats.

He just didn't have as many to admit to in eight years as Obama has in three weeks.

I’m sure Putin peed his pants laughing at Obama’s plan to reduce nukes.

A metrosexual wuss.

Putin looks at Obama the way a snake eyes any rat. TARGET.

“I’m sure Putin peed his pants laughing at Obama’s plan to reduce nukes.”

After he changed his drawers he stuck his hand out to Obama, not as a peace gesture, but for part of the “stimulous package”.

What will Katie say when we get hit again?.....of course, she’ll blame Bush....so will most of the MSM. It’s what they do....cheer against Repblicans and promote Barry O.

The good news is...the influence of the MSM continues to decline...they are bleeding audience...few trust them anymore.

I haven’t believed anything in the MSM since Kennedy got his head blown off in Dallas and the media told us it was a lone nut assassin who was killed by another lone nut assassin.

They have zero cred.
