I do find it funny in a very sad way that those who speak out against Obama and/or the "stimulus" package are being branded and cajoled, meanwhile Bush was called "shrub" from day one and attacked mercilessly the whole f'n time. I was one who did this.
While I do wish Obama the best and seriously doubt the Dems will allow him to fail, they will do whatever they possibly can to make his term successful, I find it less than heartening and more partisan politics when the very people who attacked Bush from day one are not allowing the same to be done to Obama.
Is Obama so weak and fragile that people cannot speak out against him? What happened to the Democrat cry when they were attacking Bush "it's patriotic to criticize the president and we have a right to."?
We do, even Republicans have that right. So what if someone wants to criticize Obama? Last time I checked they had every right to. They do not need to be told "wait, give him time..." or called names, cajoled or not listened to. Just as those of us who criticized Bush had the same right.
I so hoped when the Dems won they would show more grace and class than what they are in this case. But alas, this shows me that they are as guilty as the neo-cons in that they don't give a damn about the people, their rights or the country, all they care about is power and pushing through their agenda.
So much for "change" and truly wanting a better America, eh guys?
