Obviously, Obama is the Whiner-in-Chief. But that doesn’t mean it’s perfectly alright when we’ve got our own whiners on the right side of the aisle or, more importantly, that whining works. It doesn’t; not in the long run, anyway.

We have to define the opponent and ourselves instead of nagging about how they’re defining us.

I think Palin and Trump have been defining the opponent, it's just that some people view their efforts to define as "whining". Pointing out that there are obvious holes (large enough to drive a truck through) in a person's biography is not whining. Declaring that, "to the victor goes the spoils" is not whining and last (but certainly not least) making observations about the lack of common sense within the current administration, the lack of desire for said administration to do what's best for Americans and America and the failure of that administration to recognize America's exceptionalism is most certainly NOT whining.
