Appearing on Wednesday’s CBS Early Show, Evening News anchor Katie Couric discussed her White House interview with President Obama regarding the withdrawal of recent cabinet nominees: "He is surprisingly relaxed...extremely comfortable, very focused. It’s very different than sort of the buttoned-up Bush White House...he said to every person who interviewed him...that he ‘screwed up,’ he ‘messed up.’ And I think he really is trying to be the anti-Bush because President Bush was so criticized for never saying, you know, ‘I made a mistake.’" On Tuesday’s Evening News, Couric portrayed Obama as a victim.

Early Show co-host Harry Smith agreed with Couric and pointed out another criticism of the Bush administration: "There was also criticism of too much loyalty." Like Couric, Smith then praised Obama for being the "anti-Bush"

[LottieDah]

Will Katie say that when we get hit again?

[TaxRelief]

Bush admitted mistakes. What nonsense!

[anniegetyourgun]

Then Bambi should be blessed with disloyal staffers.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Couric portrayed Obama as a victim.

I wonder if Putin thinks Obama is a victim or just a wussy.

[LottieDah]

Bush did admit mistakes...mistakes like not fighting back hard enough and fast enough to the slander by the MSM and Democrats.

[JennysCool]

Bush admitted mistakes. What nonsense!

He just didn't have as many to admit to in eight years as Obama has in three weeks.

[pgkdan]

The Anti-Bush? Well she got the first part right.

[pgkdan]

I’m sure Putin peed his pants laughing at Obama’s plan to reduce nukes.

[MrB]

He’s a wuss. That’s all there is to it.
A metrosexual wuss.

[maggief]

[steelyourfaith]

Does anyone have a copy of the original photo of the above from Trump's wedding?

[Centurion2000]

I wonder if Putin thinks Obama is a victim or just a wussy.

Putin looks at Obama the way a snake eyes any rat. TARGET.

[LottieDah]

“I’m sure Putin peed his pants laughing at Obama’s plan to reduce nukes.”

After he changed his drawers he stuck his hand out to Obama, not as a peace gesture, but for part of the “stimulous package”.

[F15Eagle]

He is worshiped like the “anti” something ... can’t put my finger on it ... hmmmmm ....

Couric, though, is the anti-objective-journalist.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Katie needs another exam.

[Old Sarge]

Evening News anchor Marxist propagandist Katie Couric discussed her White House interview intimate liaison with President Obama The One (piss be upon him)

MUCH more accurate...

[kjo]

What will Katie say when we get hit again?.....of course, she’ll blame Bush....so will most of the MSM. It’s what they do....cheer against Repblicans and promote Barry O.

The good news is...the influence of the MSM continues to decline...they are bleeding audience...few trust them anymore.

I haven’t believed anything in the MSM since Kennedy got his head blown off in Dallas and the media told us it was a lone nut assassin who was killed by another lone nut assassin.

They have zero cred.

[SumProVita]

Couric’s days are numbered...

[GailA]

Has any one seen ‘the messiah’ in any of the ice storm disaster states???????? GW was roundly hounded by the MSM for being tardy in getting to New Orleans........and for not doing enough.

[Radix]

I have heard that Katie Couric has nice boobs.

I have never seen her on the Today Show, or on the so called News program that she does.

[ducdriver]

Can’t understand normal thinking.

[pgkdan]

You’re probably right.

[wolfcreek]

I bet Katie's got one of these. She loves the lapel flag.

[Wonderama Mama]

She says he’s the ‘anti-Bush’, like that’s a good thing.

[Unlikely Hero]

I never make a mitsake.

[NavVet]

The difference is that if Bush said that he made a mistake, it was a headline driving “gotcha” moment. Obama can make the same mistake and he is praised for being so “human”.

Also, even while zero is admitting mistakes, his pathetic press secretary is defending the same vetting process Obama is apologizing for.

[massgopguy]

Wiat till Obama meets Putin and looks into the eyes of a killer.

[TChris]

Pardon me... Katie... Who?

[chuck_the_tv_out]

no. no that’s just nasty. no.

[Oratam]

The media are falling over themselves to suck this guy’s @#$%! It’s so transparent it’s laughable.

[jeltz25]

He’s already looked in to the eyes of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn quite a bit. I’d say he’s used to looking into the eyes of killers.

[Jagman]

I don't know about you, but I feel way better that we have a self-confessed screw-up in the White House!

[Constitutions Grandchild]

“Wait till Obama meets Putin and looks into the eyes of a killer.”

Like he’s never done THAT before.

[mikelets456]

Obama fails...blame Bush.
Obama fails...blame whitey.
Obama fails...it ain’t his fault.
Obama fails...make some sort of racist excuse.

Blame it on Bush, Hannity and Rush....blame, blame blame.

Gee, whatever happened to sincere remorse for immoral actions?

[Verginius Rufus]

Lucy Van Pelt, in an early "Peanuts" strip:

"I never make a mistake. I thought I did once, but I was wrong."

[RichInOC]

Katie, I think that as time goes on, that’s not going to be considered a compliment.

[Cheerio]

Sorry - if he is going to stand up and confront the American citizens, and the people of the world, and say “Sorry I made a mistake” - then he is NOT MY PRESIDENT. I don't care when a human being makes a mistake as long as the country survives, BUT I don't care to know about it. The hell with all this touchie feelie openness crap.

[RckyRaCoCo]

Pardon me... Katie... Who?

she's that has-been tv-turd that had a colonoscopy a few years back to diagnose a sore throat

[free from tyranny]

Exactly! OOPS! I'm so sorry that I allowed NY city to be attacked.

Give me a break!

[pepperdog]

“a lone nut assassin who was killed by another lone nut assassin.”

When you put it in plain language like that it does deify belief!

[DGHoodini]

Sorta like Blago “the anti-Nixon”, Eh, Katie?

(Snort! Katie you are just so *full* of it!

[Unlikely Hero]

Good old Peanuts. Will always be funny.

[OKSooner]

I’ll agree with half of that statement.

[mkjessup]

I hope Katie’s cardiovascular system is in good shape, like most of the lamestream media, that many multiple and continuous, nonstop orgasms could be a strain on even a healthy person.

[originalbuckeye]

I can't believe that anyone thinks Couric is still relevant. I haven't watched ANY network nightly news in years. I guess she has to show up in the daytime to still get an audience.

PS-I don't watch the network morning shows either. I am hard at work before any of them start.

[avacado]

Yep! Our new Apologetic President is feared around the world!

Obama Foreign Policy:

[DoughtyOne]

It’s shocking to see two ‘objective’ people so out of touch with reality, and carrying on this way. Freud would be thrilled at the possibilities, thousands of couches to be ordered to accommodate those with this disorder. Harry, Katie, seek help.

If you think what Bush’s goals were, and then label Obama as the anti-Bush, just what are you saying? Does that even occur to you?

[calex59]

Katie Couric and Bozo, the answer to sanity.

[cubreporter]

Didn’t realize she is still around. She’s irrelevant.
