I question if the total amount of biased-derisive content from the media directed towards Obama approaches the level Bush experienced in his later years.
Bush was given the benefit of the doubt, to some extent, after 9-11 but was pummeled as time passed.

Bush got much more of a honeymoon than Obama. There was some friction before 9/11 but nothing like the wall of NO that was erected for Obama in Jan. '09. Bush sowed the seeds of the opposition to him many times. Rarely has a guy less qualified risen to that sort of power, here anyway.
On Obama, Republicans have lost their minds. The other twist regarding the Dover story was that a WH photog took a photo of Obama saluting at the ceremony - word is the Pentagon did not allow press coverage of the event at the request of 19 of the 31 families involved. A real tempest in a teapot:
