(53,410 posts)I don't believe in trashing people who I believe in. Never have. My admiration for the President is never curtailed. Perhaps it's because every moment is never an end in itself. If he has an off day I never throw him under the bus or throw a fit because he 'disappointed' me who could never do a hundredth of the job he's doing. Over the last 4 years many here on DU have trashed him viciously only to find out they were wrong to believe falsehoods about him.
I'm also somewhat disappointed in DUers who find it so easy to trash Jim Lehrer. I believe he did the absolute best he could. I dare anyone to stand up to a bullying asshole who yells over you at every turn or just ignores you. Jim Lehrer is a thoughtful and decent man who has given us the truthful news for a lifetime. I hate that people are trashing him. The man deserves respect, even if he wasn't able to control Romney.
