    He looks like a goof--as usual. But I think the criticism is misplaced. He isn't being disrespectful; he's joining in the way he knows how. Look at the President; he's smiling along.

    Lots of reasons to criticize Bush, but this doesn't seem to be one of them.

    Reminds me of the complete mouth breathing half wits who complain about how expensive it is for Obama to fly to Hawaii for a family vacation or how many staffers are in the White House or the First Ladies choice of programs she supports.


    The dummies were loud 2000-2008 and not surprisingly they've been just as loud since then. Just have different capital letters after their names.

    I always get a kick out of that stuff. It's such a drop in the bucket in terms of government misspending. Corporate bailouts. Farming subsidies (sometimes given to NOT farm). Endless and incredibly expensive wars. That stuff totals in the trillions.

    Penny wise and pound foolish.

    Similarly, there are lots of reasons to criticise Obama, but the "Obummer took selfies at Mandela's funeral!!!!!!1!!!" thing was totally overblown.

    Has there ever been a U.S. President whose every action was beyond any reasonable criticism?

    The answer to your question may just depend upon one's party affiliation.

    Makes me wonder how well revered George Washington would be today if there were cameras and social media back then.

    Yeah, giving a two hour inaugural address in the pouring rain without a hat on and dying of pneumonia one month after being sworn into office is beyond any reasonable criticism.
