White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was interrupted by Obama, who came to say a few words about the retirement of Justice David Souter, during the daily press briefing on Friday. The White House Press Corps jumped to their feet.
Someone dug up an old video of a Bush appearance during a press briefing during his tenure. Note the different reaction:
In related news:
The White House denies that it would use the White House Press Corps to make threats against Chrysler investors.
No, Obama would never use these fine folks to do anything like that, my goodness, hush your mouth!
Incidentally, Bush may not have had the support of the *jackals in the media, but let us not forget that many other Americans supported him enthusiastically throughout his Presidency.
*Yes, I realize there are still a few good journalists out there. I’m generalizing.

Nice Deb 
Re: Media didn’t support Bush.
It gives me great comfort to know that even with many voting Democrat just because they hated Bush, and the media totally being in the tank for Obama, and with all of the efforts of ACORN… Obama still only won by a few points.
Real people are starting to see the light. By the end of his first term, only the “true believers” will be left in Duh One’s camp. And, really, that is a small number of die-hard leftists.

Entitlements for the masses have become more important than personal freedoms. Soon, college tuition will be an entitlement. Dear Leader will paint the conservatives as the “boogie man” who’s going to take away all that I have given you. And the masses will go with Dear Leader in the next election.
