Are all Presidents treated equal?

Received this in an email today and thought I would share......

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics,
would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown, Prime Minister of Great Britian, a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos
of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and
tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have
approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent
"Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people
who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have
approved?

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to “Cinco de
Cuatro” in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the fourth of May
(Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you
have winced in embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had misspelled the word advice would you have hammered
him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as “proof” of what a dunce
he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single
tree on “Earth Day”, would you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush's administration had ok'd Air Force One flying low over
millions of people following by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing
widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually “got”
what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter
installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have
laughed and said this is more proof of how he inept he is on his own and is
really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout
the Midwest with more people killed than in New Orleans, would you want it
made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and
incompetence?

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation,
even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have
approved?

If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken
more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10
years, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan’s holdings of GM stock by
90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura
Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, please, what is it about Obama that makes him so
brilliant, so impressive?

Can't think of anything?

Don't worry. He's done all this in 5 months. You'l l have three years and
seven months to come up with an answer.

And, oh, by the way...
When will we ever get to see Obama's birth certificate?!

What would have happened if George W. Bush had denied access to his birth records to the American people????

The State Run Media (thank you, Rush!) has been in the tank for this President since early in the election process. It's a clear abrogation of the responsibility that comes with their First Amendment rights.
