Obama gets away with it
Poor George Bush.
If he had messed up as his successor did and started his speech too soon (not waiting for Speaker Pelosi to bring Congress to order) or indeed committed all the other minor infractions that Mr Obama regularly does, it would have been put down to his ineptness.
With Mr Obama it does not work.
He just looks as if he is a young fellow held back by foolish folderol. Style is so important - Bush's stiffness made him look as if he was messing up.
Mr Obama is languid enough to fall over and still look fine. Only one slightly off note - Nancy Pelosi. She looks too pleased with herself, too pleased with him.
She does him no favours.
