This article sends a bad message and frankly has racial undertones Dumb white Bush reads books, no books for this Black President. This is already apparent on this thread.
Obama doesn't read books and he is the President, why should I? People look up to Obama, he needs to set an example.
There'll be black educators who will post this article in the classroom and they won't be doing anyone a favor.
Quote from Thunderdog:
Try not to get ahead of yourself. Has it occurred to you that perhaps Obama wishes to be more circumspect about the manner in which he dismantles things than the way in which the Bush administration slapped them together? It's a lot easier being a bull in a china shop when you're not the one who has to clean up and you don't care who does.
Quote from nutmeg:
How about a bit of context? Look at how Obama had to hit the ground running, cleaning up after Bush's "legacy." He has arguably done more during his first 100 days in office than any president who preceded him, and there is no evidence of this pace letting up. His life is decidedly less leisurely than Bush's tenure at the White House. Sure, I'm favorably biased towards Obama, because it seems only natural to be so regarding an intelligent person who gives a shit. However, you harbor a bias as well, although perhaps not as well founded.Quote from Thunderdog:

Are you purposely being dense? If people gave Bush 8 years to fuck up, then at least give Obama 4 years to clean up. It might not happen in that short a time, but at least give the guy some elbow room.
