Why was Bush criticized literally everday about the troops but Obama isnt?

I don't think NYTIMES is conservative is it? Not to my knowledge

don't drink the kool aid. NYT actually is moderate-conservative, it's just not a firebrand publication like what fox news might put out. they employ columnists of many stripes and are old-school in that they're not bombastic in comparison. people bleat all day about it being liberal so much that it becomes so-called fact.

um because he didn't send them there in the first place. and last I checked we have exited Iraq and are on the verge of passing afghanistan to the afghanis. Not too mention he authorized the assassination of OBL AND handled Libya nicely without any troops on the ground. he passed that to the europeans like magic johnson. he's also been chin checking pakistan and has kept thing diplomatic with Syria and Egypt. Still working on Iran but hey, we havent bombed them yet...had it been bush...

selective memory in here

Anot thing folks forget is Bush once had an approval rating of 91 percent....Yes I know it was because of the immediate impact of 911 but it did not dissappear overnight.

If you are a president showing good leadership, no matter what people will support you. People keep up with this whole "When Bush was....people never'' over and over, because there was nothing else to talk about because both domestic and foreign was horrible for bush.

folks couldn't be like "well on the bright side....". Not saying Obama is Mother Theresa just making a point.

I have no idea if this guy above is just trolling with the yahoo answers copy and paste job every second

I remember Hufifngtonpost the final days of the Fiscal cliff were the ones having the "Obama Caves!" headline over and over and who are always ripping into DEMOCRAT Harry Reid for caving in on fillibuster reform, gun control, and the fiscal cliff

Look at the coverage Cindy Sheehan and other anti-war protesters received during the Bush years, compared to now. You'd think they've has been silent/inactive since then but no, they've just been blacking her/them out for the most part.

I didn't say they were liberal....When did I ever say that?

I know they are moderate I used them as an example because although they are inbetween you cannot really describe them as "moderate media".

Its like Obama being a moderate but he is still affiliated with Democrat

Why the word "moderate conservative" though and not just "moderate"?

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

I mean Bush was literally getting curb stomped EVERY DAY about the troops.

Obama in 2007 "Soon as Im elected the troops are coming home"

5 years later not only did the troops not come home we got MORE troops there but I hardly see any coverage, instead we get day long specials about him and Michelle sharing a tender moment.

How dare you criticize my president! Have you seen this nikka's jumpshot? How can anyone hate on a man with such a wicked jumpshot and fine black wife?

you roight. i addressed you as a general populace i guess

i think as an old established newspaper, it's actually conservative if we're drawing the line throughout all of media. slightly right of center, maybe. i dunno, i don't really care to analyze all of their reporting or writing. i'm fine with calling them moderate.

Sorry for the confusion.

Its like how Obama is actually a moderate but to stop annoying semantics if it comes down to it....you would group him closer to Democrat/liberal to be "technical"

At times i do wish we stopped with titles but it comes with the territory i guess.

Um, have you ever actually read the New York Times editorial page? All of the columnists except one are liberal, and they take liberal stances on virtually every political position. They are the most popular newspaper in one of the most liberal cities in the nation.

You guys really aren't this stupid are you?

david brooks
maureen dowd
ross douthat

all moderate or right of center, respectively. dowd, it doesn't really, as she'll go hard on any president regardless of his poltiics. and i was referring to their reporting in that it's not exactly huffington post, and it's not exactly fox news, not that those two are on equal journalistic footing anyway
an op-ed is an op-ed, someone who has an opinion and a pen.

Have you ever been on the HUFFINGPOST website? A liberal website? People criticize Obama for all of the above. Like i said before people like yourselves over generalize and dramaticize things WAY too much off simply MSNBC alone.

Everything you just listed Obama gets criticized for

Google right now random stories about the "drone wars and Obama" and see what the "liberal media" is saying since you seem to live in some fantasy world.

Another thing with Bush is that everything he did was unpopular; He did not have significant domestic achievements to have as a badge of honor.

Who was the one who broke that huge story(although it was already partly known but they confirmed it more) detailing how secretive we were about the drone attacks and civilians and how we were so scummy that we were not counting civilian deaths properly and giving lower numbers on purpose. The NYTimes right?

Hmm isn't this the "liberal media'' Mr the liberal media excuses Obama for everything is talking about? I don't think NYTIMES is conservative is it? Not to my knowledge

I guess Obama having an approval rating at one point in the early 40s is the dangerous liberal media in action right?

bottom line he got reelcted and the country was in a complete mess from the economy to the war overseas. And you know as well as I do that the MAINSTREAM what the average dumb civilian who votes sees is all positive on Obama, the media wont even snap a pic of him chain smoking cause it will hurt his image.

Also spare me with the Bush crap I didnt like Bush either but its such obvious HYPOCRISY when Obama is like Bush on steroids and doesnt get nearly the same criticism. Shiit if you say a bad word about Obama you are looked at as a tom or racist depending on if you black or white.

Ok continue to regurgitate the same post over and over and ignore what waas said in here and the thread on Cornell West.

That chainsmoking example you used is absolutely idiotic. First of all according to Michelle after trying to get him to stop he "allegedly" stopped according to a 2010 interview she gave....*Waits for the predictable she was lying argument and its a conspiracy*

Now back to what i was saying do you realize how idiotic your comment sounds breh?

Why would the media take a picture of a president smoking especially when he even said when he was running through his OWN MOUTH that he does not want to be caught in a picture smoking especially because of his daughters.

Im still here at that idiotic post about smoking of all things. man shut up. You guys skim through posts and repeat the same thing over and over again about "Obama worship" EVEN WHEN we call you out on it and try to speak sense to you.

Its like talking to a brick walll

Lol at the same "liberal media" who even to this day brings up Monica lewinsky jokes. You guys go over the top with your comments way too much

Uh the media actually tried to cover up the Monica Lewinsky story. Newsweek reporters had the scoop but the magazine wouldn't let them publish it. So one of the reporters forwarded the story to Drudge Report who was the one who made it public.

As for jokes, isn't Obama pretty much the first American president that late night comedians refuse to tell jokes about? Like I said in another thread, Obama is the most protected and coddled president in history.
