That would be...What if Bush did it?
Obama would doubtless be among the screamers and cryers if this had taken place under Bush.
If Bush had done this, FR would have supported it.
As for me, I think President Obama did the right thing here. Even a blind hog finds an acorn ...
And as far as GWB, I can't think of anything he did that was so inconsiderate of Americans' rights but if he had done this, there would literally be riots or at least huge violent protests all over the news.
He would have been attacked from all angles because this would be a real setback to civil rights and Bush is a Republican.
Congress, the press, academia would have waged a massive political attack insinuating that he was fascist and didn't care about the poor and their problems. He would be called unfeeling and out of touch, undemocratic, misguided and stupid, full of racism and out of his mind.
That's what they would say and much of it applies to Obama but he won't experience that kind of heat.
The professional hate-mongers own the press and they are creatures of the left.
