(New York Daily News)   Obama tries to walk through a window. No doubt this proves he's an idiot, as will be proven by billions of copies of the embarrassing photo being posted in the forums   (nydailynews.com) divider line

Ya. We still don't have that pic. Let me know when we do, albo.

Half the doors in the white house are invisible anyway (have no handles).

The "money" part of the Bush photo is the look on his face, not that he went to the wrong door. Well that and he just kept pulling on the door even when he should have known it was locked. Obama's back just doesn't emote the same sort of haplessness as the look on Bush's face.

Looking at the pic, I would have done the same damn thing. Most likely in quick succession, while muttering why the damn door is stuck.

The Bush incident was amusing. This incident is amusing. I fail to see any logical reason why this should be starting any partisan bickering. Well, I know it will anyway.

I could have easily made the same mistake in a building I'd only worked in for a week. Hell, I couldn't find my way around my new office for the first week without getting lost and I had a HELL of lot less on my mind than he does.

Not to mention that the facepalm factor of all of the many, many physical comedy routines Bush performed is compounded by the things that came out of his mouth. All of them.

I think the litmus test is whether or not Obama himself would laugh at it. And I can totally see him getting a chuckle out of it.

You NEED to upgrade to the LibsRewardOne program. You can give a poor pregnant woman a falcon punch just ONCE, and you can make all the racist jokes you want.

Wouldn't there be a marine or something standing guard to point him in the right direction? I am quite discouraged to see that a lost and possibly confused black man was just allowed to walk right up to the windows of the white house without being stopped and questioned. I'd think the security would be tighter.

I, too, cannot wait to see this picture posted everywhere. Hell, the guy can't find doors, thinks there are 60 states, and can't form a coherent sentence without a teleprompter.

It's madness.

Don't be silly people. He was checking himself out. There is a reason this wasn't posted as video footage. What you don't see is his other hand performing a quick verification if his stimulus package was, well, stimulating.

Libtards need to realize that cameras are going to be everywhere like they were during the Bush administration and they will catch the president doing things we do all the time.


Have a laugh. Admit that you were a complete asshole when Bush did the same thing and you have now learned your lesson. Democrats and Republicans can have problems finding unlocked/real doors in a place like the White House.

Meh. If you've ever seen the video of that incident, Bush was mugging it up for the cameras on purpose -- not just standing there slack-jawed.

Funny no matter how you slice it -- but at least he could tell it was actually a door and didn't try to climb out a window.

our lesson?

Bush was an idiot for far more reasons than pulling on a locked door. The ridiculous face he made just encapsulated everything in to one easy to find picture.

But yes, the one reason people made fun of Bush and acted like assholes was because he couldn't find the door to a room.

Bush made the face on purpose because he was making fun of himself.

Bush proved to be a much smarter President than the dismal failure Obama has been to this point.

How many jobs on Obama's watch? Exactly. Let him beat his chest and claim himself the winner a little more while you go figure out how to file unemployment.
