I think that criticizing President Obama- or pretty much any Democrat is easy- because the MSM knows that they can't dare risk looking.......gasp......"liberal". Their criticism of Democrats and Democratic Presidents or anything with a whiff of "liberal" or left-wing is reflexive at this point. And you can be the most moderate/conservative Democrat that exists anywhere and you're still going to be tarred with the "stain" of liberalism because you're not a Republican.
