Pew: Obama Less 'Honest,' More 'Incompetent' than Bush

It's word bubble time at Pew Research Center, and that's not really good news for President Obama, especially when compared to the one word Americans used to describe former President George W. Bush as this time.

The word "incompetent" is a popular word for both, though Obama just edged Bush in those references, 27-26.

Another shared word is "honest." Here Bush won with 31 references, Obama just 18.

And "liar" also appears high on both the Bush and Obama list, with Obama collecting the most, 18-13.

Not only is Obama more incompetent, long-range scanners indicate he's more incontinent, as well.

And it’s only half past year five. We may be looking at a new record low in all categories. Sadly, the record will come with an unrecoverable demise of the nation. (Obama will view that as a win.)

Before the Bush haters pile onto this thread, remember these moments when a real American was president?

Isn’t it amazing? Obama is prancing about other parts of Africa while protest is gripping Egypt and Libya again. Aren’t these countries he’s visiting now concerned about the “hope and change” Obama initiated in other countries?

George W. Bush was very honest but somewhat very incompetent. Obama is both dishonest and incompetent.

Bush was personable, honest, competent before he listened to the Washingtion insiders, supportive of America.

Obama is impersonal, dishonest, and non supportive of America. He is more than competent because his aim was CHANGE America from a Democratic Republic to a Fascist Communist nation. In that, he is succeeding.

B-u-s-h is a strange way to spell Carter.

Woops. . . it’s Washington not Washingtion.

Depending how they're done, I find these "word count" deals to be somewhat questionable.

For example:

Obama is not a very honest person because of his complete lack of integrity. His total lack of competence further limits his attempts to be an effective leader.

Score: 4 positive references for Obama.

Consider this, it only took ten plus years of lies and propaganda from the media to portray Bush as an amiable dunce the way they did Reagan and spread all sorts of obvious lies to portray him as responsible for things the record shows he tried to stop to drive his numbers to this point.

Barry managed the numbers he has with the media hiding the facts and cheer leading for him every step of the way.
