Of course he will get a pass from the left and the media. That does not mean we should give him a pass - by “we” I mean conservative blogs, forums, conservative news sites and talking heads.
We hold Obama to the same “standard” they left held Bush43 too, and give him the same amount of respect they gave former Pres. Bush.
Obama conducts himself as a ceremonial figure. If he wants to be this, he should first resign. He seems not to understand that serving presidents are actually supposed to do something.
