(57,936 posts)Also, a few DUers excuse things Obama does that they would condemn very strongly if any other president did them. Some DUers seem to consistently take Obama's side no matter how obviously wrong Obama is about something.
I don't think that serves our President well at all.
We are told on the one hand that we should keep the President on his toes. Obama himself has invited us to do that, to express our honest opinions to him. But then along come a few DUers who become incensed at the suggestion that Obama, like most mortals, has faults and makes mistakes and should be held to a reasonable standard of behavior with regard to human rights.
I wonder why a person would support Obama so consistently even when there are clearly inconsistencies in Obama's current position and his promises in 2008. But were I to wonder out loud on DU . . . . . . Please finish my sentence for me.
