Martin Bashir Reminds Mitt’s Angry ‘Minions’ What Bush Sounded Like

[ProfessionalLeftist]

Tonight on MSNBC, Martin Bashir took the criticism of “Mitt’s minions” against President Obama’s moment of honesty to draw a clear contrast between the way President Obama handled the question, “Have you made any mistakes?” and the way former President Bush handled the same question.

Joining Bashir were Joy Reid of the Grio and Ari Melber of the Nation. Watch here:

Bashir, likening the reaction of Mitt’s minions to acting like a pack of starved jackals, was confused as to why the Right wing was criticizing Obama’s self-reflective response, while championing a man like George W Bush who could not answer the question.

Bush ended up saying “You know I just ah…. ” looks down, blows air out of his mouth, “I’m sure something will pop into my head in the midst of this press conference with all of this pressure of trying to come up with an answer.” Trademark W smirk. “But…. hadn’t yet.”

Ah, we see. Yes, that is so much better than:

Obama, looking off deep in thought, “The mistake of my first ter– couple of years, was thinking that this job was just about getting the policy right.” Pause while this sinks in. Brain is still working, more to say, “And that’s important. But you know the nature of this office is also to tell a story to the American people, that um gives them a sense of unity and purpose and optimism — especially during tough times.”
