In reply to the discussion: Presidents should be questioned and confronted, not idolized [View all]BlueCaliDem
(15,438 posts)And I've seen entirely too many posts on this DEMOCRATIC PARTY SUPPORTING site to safely conclude that this president in particular is being thoroughly thrashed, even for things beyond his control, even for the calamity the Teapublicans are causing the people of this country. Nary a word against Republicans from these same posters even when confronted with the truth and their own ignorance.
Sorry. But to defend this president when he's being unfairly attacked by posters who are here on a Democratic Party supporting site, especially in an election year, because he doesn't possess a magic wand that can make all their pain go away, isn't the same as idolizing him. It's common sense.
First and foremost, people need to learn about how their government works. Too many who can't wait to excoriate this president every chance they get, don't appear to understand the separation of powers, the three co-equal branches of gov't -which one is the most powerful when it comes to domestic policy -, and democracy in general. Maybe they should start there.
