Had an interesting conversation about whether some of the serious partisanship, comments, and actions against President Obama is worse or easier than those against Bush. Had a pretty evenly divided group. Ironically differences of opinion did not fall along political lines. While not a big Bush fan I do not think that the comments against Obama are worse than those against Bush. My democratic colleague disagreed rather enthusiastically. The Republicans in the group also split along these lines. Curious what others think. Looked up some of comments that were levied against Bush during some of his difficulties and compared them to what Obama is getting. Personally the vehemence by those talking don't seem to be that different.
BBD, while I am a more conservative political person - with extremely strong libertarian leanings - I have to say that it is very clear to me that President Bush was treated much worse than President Obama has been. And that is by all segments, politicians, print media, TV "journalists" and everyone else. There has been such a disparity that I am surprised you even ask the question.
