"They" want to get my President ..... end of story

18. I believe they would have done this to any Democrat post-1992.

Senator Bob Dole (R-KS), who in retrospect looks extremely moderate, joked that he was the chaperon meant to stop Clinton having a honeymoon. The media was a big help there too, because by spring 1993 there was the famous "Just Another Failed President?" cover story.

I can't find the quote, but House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) promised overt hostility towards a Gore White House if Al Gore was declared the winner of the 2000 election. Remember too that DeLay's staff contributed members to the riots outside places where ballots were being counted.

And as for Obama, the GOP's obstructionist policy has long been established, not only in closed-door meetings but in Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) public announcement that the top Republican priority was to make Obama a one-term president. When that plan obviously failed,far from being chastened, the GOP has come back with greater ferocity.

And the press is their handmaiden or lackey, in many cases.
