Excellent points, Terry, both of them.
But then again, it's been frustrating watching Bush (or Palin, or other conservatives) get pounced on and derided over awkward phrasing or slips of the tongue, so now it's kind of a "sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander" kind of thing. Slate had "Bushisms of the Day" for years; Hot Air is now doing "Obamateurisms of the Day." Fair's fair.
Btw, for those who haven't heard, President Obama hopes you had a good
"Cinco de cuatro" Never heard of it? Neither has anyone else...
