As I recall whenever President Bush was asked about some protest de jour he most always answered with something like “This is America, we have a right to freedom of speech”, “we have differences”. I don’t recall him ever saying the protesters were too much of anything.

If someone can research and present some old clips and compare it to President Obama’s statements, we might actually see how partisan Obama is compared to Bush.

There are many examples of George Bush publicly accepting criticism. I cannot think of a single instance of him complaining about it.

Obama presents a mirror image: he does not like to be challenged, and fairly bristles whenever questioned. One of his preferred techniques is to trumpet his own good intentions and then to question those of his opponents. This is a common trait among narcissists.

Glenn Beck played a video comparison some time last week.

President Bush, as you said, welcomed criticism and protest as something fundamentally American.

Of course that's because he IS an American......

(Maybe the clips are in the Glenn Beck archives?)
