Obama Disrepects Bush According To Andrew Card

Former Bush Chief of Staff Andrew Card is again leveling criticism at President Barack Obama for being disrespectful. Last week he claimed that President Obama showed disrespect for the Oval Office and the Presidency by not always wearing a suit jacket in the Oval Office.

This week, immediately after Barack Obama’s prime-time press conference, he claimed that Barack Obama was disrespectful to former President Bush during the press conference. Andrew Card is quoted as saying “It is disrespectful to go in front of the press corps and the entire nation and show a complete command of the major issues after only 3 weeks in office. President Bush never demonstrated this same ability after 8 years in office and Obama’s answers at his press conference can be best described as showing off.”

When asked what he felt President Obama should have done during the press conference, Card said that “I think it would have been more gracious if Obama had given short, flip answers and not try to act like an educated, intelligent guy. It should have been obvious to everyone that Obama crossed the line when he commented so eloquently on the Alex Rodriguez steroid issue.” He went on to say “Baseball is one area where former President Bush felt confident he would be remembered by historians as having no equal. Then President Obama comes along and goes out of his way to try to embarrass former President Bush with his baseball knowledge.”

And finally, Card had this to say, "The next thing you know Obama is going to try to further disrespect the former President by turning the economy around, capturing Osama Bin Laden, passing healthcare legislation, and improving education. I think it is now becoming clear with President Obama’s actions during the first three weeks and his proposed goals during the next four years that he wants to be known as the “Disrespect Bush” President.”
