Gates interview about President Obama: A comparison made without every saying a single negative word about President Bush

So in the news from yesterday was an interview with Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates. Here is some of the comments from the interview on working for President Obama:

"He is very analytical," Gates told CNN Chief National Correspondent John King. "He is very deliberate about the way he goes through things. He wants to understand everything. He delves very deeply into these issues."

Gates, who previously worked for 27 years in the CIA under six presidents, was the first defense secretary to be asked to remain in office by a newly-elected president when Obama kept him on.

The Pentagon chief was diplomatic when comparing Obama to other former occupants of the Oval Office.

"I'm not going to get into comparing the different presidents, Gates said. “I very much enjoy working for this one."

Now if you want to get the answer to the question, how is President Obama compared to George W. Bush, the answer is staring you in the face. Here's how I would speak for Gates were he to speak the words himself:

He is NOT analytical. He shoots from the hip about the way he goes through things. He could CARE LESS about understanding everything. He NEVER delves into these issues. I Hated working for Bush!

Need I say more? :)
