Byron York notes, in the Washington Examiner, the following: When Bush spoke to students, Democrats investigated, held hearings.

In the piece he notes that there was more controversy after George H. W. Bush’s 1991 speech to students (rather than before), including Secretary of Education Lamar Alexander being summoned to testify before Congress.

However, I am not sure what the point is (and it is a labeled an opinion piece, so one reasonably expects a point). Is it that Democrats were worse in their over-reaction to a speech than Republicans are now? Is it that there should be even more criticism of Obama than he is getting? Is it to point out that all of this criticism (then and now) is all partisan-motivated and not really especially meaningful?
