President doesn't seem to like windows

Our new president seems to be portal challenged. While the liberal press had a field day when President Bush had similar trouble, it appears President Obama is confused as to what is a window and what is a door.

If a Republican President having trouble opening a locked door, proves he is not intelligent. What does a Democrat President trying to use a window as a door tell us?

The story is here - http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/01/28/2009-01-28_hey_bam_thats_not_the_door.html

It looks like President Obama hasn't gotten acquainted to his White House surroundings. On the way back to the Oval Office Tuesday, the President approached a paned window, instead of the actual door -- located a few feet to his right.

Doors didn't open automatically for Obama’s predecessor either. While making a hasty exit from a 2005 press conference in Beijing, former President George W. Bush tugged on the handles of a door, only to find it locked.

Bush laughed off the blunder, but the pictures still live on as part of Bush's lame duck legacy. However, there was little note taken of Obama's rookie mistake.

Obama, who was returning from meeting with Congressional leaders, may have been distracted by Republicans' icy reception to his $825 billion stimulus package, which is poised to pass on Wednesday even without a groundswell of Republican support.

Maybe he was looking for the fire escape.

Everyone makes mistakes. I'm wondering, was your attitude as forgiving toward President Bush when he had his door problem?

Well... if Obama leaves a "lame duck legacy", then maybe we'll be hearing about this in 8 years, too :)


Your title doesn't make sense, though.

Oh, and for what it's worth, Canadians still chuckle that Bush called our PM "Steve".
