Remember when we were told that the days of an idiot occupying the White House were over? How the national embarrassment had finally departed? Yeah, no. President Obama tried to re-enter the White House yesterday through a paned window.

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.

Funny that. Even early stupid mistakes by Bush were marked-up to him being either an idiot or embarrassment. Obama tries to get into the White House through a window and it’s ignored or chalked-up to a rookie mistake.

And yes, there is a picture at the link.

P.S. Note the reference to Bush’s locked door incident. Also note that Bush tried to go through a door. As in not a window.
