cause him to be labeled as the worst president of our time. The dems were horrid toward Carter. Just as they are becoming toward Obama. Tell me what purpose it serves for a member of the president's party to go before cameras and print to publically denounce the president. If they want to let him know their concerns there are better ways to do so. It seems all Dems want to do is grandstand to be able to say, 'I told you so.' But, what it really accomplishes is to undermine and diminish the public's perceived leadership of their own party. The Dems are idiots. They have yet to put two and two together. They seem to only be interested in serving themselves.
