Doonesbury Say What?

"What's most telling about these encounters is the absence of fear on the part of the citizens challenging Obama...Citizens feel free to criticize Obama with impunity."
-- WSJ's James Taranto on Obama backyard chats

I would have no problem telling off Obama, I would gladly have told off Bush 2. I got to tell off a US Representative to his face when he voted against health care reform. Anyone is fair game for criticism if they're not doing the job right or standing up to their promises and beliefs.

Absolutely. Or as Teddy reportedly might have said, Bully! I really like that 'morally treasonable' part.

This was something that really pissed me off during the previous administration. They basically fell back on "why do you hate our troops?" if you dared question The Shrub. Now anyone can criticize Obama? I guess there's no standard like a double standard.
