Showing Original Post only (View all)How did the Democratic Party let this President become so vilified? [View all]
Because, in politics, if you do not defend yourself, your political opponents will destroy you.
Is the President's record really as indefensible as the Republicans would suggest?
If these character assaults continue, it will make it more difficult for Democrats in 2016. We need a Republican in the White House like we need another hole in the head.
Even with all the positive economic news, such as 5% growth in the last quarter and low unemployment and a booming stock market, the President's favorable ratings are still under 50%. That should not be the case.
Somewhere there is a major problem with communication, methinks?
