Relentlessly blaming the previous administration for literally everything, including the consequences of all of your own party's past misconduct and corruption and your own bad judgment, and then dealing with your own obvious failures by demonizing your legitimate opposition, is not a particularly effective way to restore trust and civility.
The party of the President, follows the President's attitude.
First president I remember was Eisenhower, so I've seen a lot of "presidential behavior".
I have never seen anyone so lacking in appropriate behavior befitting a US President, than Obama.
He has never stopped campaigning, nor has he crawled out of the vindictive, blame the other side for everything gutter of politics.
He won the election, 18 months ago....he has reaped the benefits of being president for 16 months...yet he apparently has yet to
learn how to be and act as a president.
Really...it's pretty sad.
I don't think it's just Republicans that see this either...I think there are a lot of Democrats and Independants who are realizing this too.
