I've got a question

I've got to go out and do some work for a couple hours so I won't be able to keep up for a bit if you all don't mind. I really don't want this to be a flame war as I'll just ignore it if it is.
My question is
Why is it so often that no matter what happens its President Obama's fault. I thought that our TOS was to be in support of the Democratic caucus/President if at all possible. It bothers me to read so much vitriol towards our President who is in my opinion doing a pretty good job in spite of all the shit the republicons throw at him. Include the press in that also.
Peace

For the same reason everything was Bush's fault, he's in charge. Taking blame is part of the job as a rhetorical convenience to everyone else.

if at all possible."

Dunno about "no matter what happens" but there are certain policies / programs I find impossible to support no matter who espouses them. This NSA program is one of them. Cutting SS is another. Drone wars, indefinite detention, kill lists are more.

I will continue to oppose those no matter how much I personally like Obama (which I do) or despise his opponents (which I do).
