Since I’ve followed politics, 0bama has to be the most overtly partisan president I’ve ever seen. Maybe even the most overtly partisan politician all together.
I’ve never seen a president so repeatedly call out the other party by name. You never saw Bill Clinton use the word “Republican” so many times in speeches when using the ‘bully pulpit’. I don’t recall either president Bush calling out Democrats like that. It cheapens the Presidency, IMO, which is something this little joke of a man has done at every turn since he took office. Whomever gets elected next is going to have a lot of work to do just to rehab and recover the prestige of the office after this punk leaves....
Well ... one of my big fears is that a Republican will be elected and will seek a "new tone" in Washington. They might bend over backwards to treat the Democrats with respect. They might refrain from ever criticizing any of Obama's initiatives. They might engage in "power sharing" even if the GOP holds a solid majority of power.
All of these terrible things could be done in the name of "rehab and recover the prestige of the office". We've seen such things before. They do not work and they fritter away huge amounts of Republican political capital.
