No one wants to be wrong, and very few can admit when they are.

Prior to Obama we had only had one Dem president after the Fairness Doctrine was dumped. Clinton was villified as well but at that time there was Limbaugh and only a handful of other voices in AM radio. Minimal internet available.
By the time Obama was elected you had 500 Limbaughs on the radio and all the blogs and stuff.
Quite frankly, I think this is just the way it is going to be from now on. And for that matter there will be villification of Republican presidents as well. The difference being that Conservatives tend to default to their "tough guy/loud talker" persona which makes it appear that they are more vociferous than their liberal counterparts.
