It's the sort of groupthink Dems derided when Bush was in office. How soon they forget.

Hero worship has no place in politics, and Obama has easily done as much harm as he has done good. Willfully blinding ourselves to the transgressions of Democratic presidents, just because they are Democrats, is frighteningly stupid behavior.

especially TPP (I would say that's probably the biggest area I disagree with him). Those that prance around and tell us that we must pledge our 100% loyalty to him are the same people who support Clinton. They believe they can bully people and tell lies and then simply forget that they've told them. One of these hypocrites said that I "didn't defend President Obama enough."
