This article brings up a solid point - Democrats failed to hold Obama accountable for anything. His administration had negligible criticism at best from his own party so he never had to fulfill a promise that was easy to fulfill, never had to be a straight shooter, etc...and the result is that Obama is a failure. America should hold the Democrats accountable for refusing to hold Obama accountable.

Obama always pointing the finger of blame at someone else | New York Post



There is always an excuse.

There is always someone else to blame.


Obama could lie about the circumstances of his own mother's death for political points, get caught in the lie, and continue telling the lie, because he knew Democrats would tolerate blatant lies from him.

‘The Road We’ve Traveled:’ A misleading account of Obama’s mother and her insurance dispute - The Washington Post


Obama could make easy to fulfill promises that he broke on his very first opportunity, because he knew Democrats would look the other way as he continued to break it most of the time.

The Obameter: Allow five days of public comment before signing bills | PolitiFact


Obama has become so enabled by Democrats he can pretend he doesn't know anything...there are several additions one could add to this WaPo article:

What Obama didn



Of the laundry list that Democrats complained about Bush, Obama campaigned against them and then usually out did Bush on.

-More Trickle Down policy than Reagan.

-More Continuing Resolutions than Bush.

-More earmarks than Bush.

-More lobbyists in the WH than Bush.

-More special access for big donors than Bush.

-More drones than Bush.

-More Afghanistan War than Bush.

-More TARP than Bush.

-More no-bid contracts than Bush.

-More no-bid contracts to Halliburton than Bush.

-More opaqueness than Bush.

-More gun running than Bush.

-More IRS scandals than Bush.

-More countries bombed than Bush.

-More countries with military operations in than Bush.

-More foreign military bases created in non-combat areas than Bush.

-Continued Bush's Patriot Act.

-Continued Bush's tax cuts even for wealthy fr a few years.

-Continued Bush's national debt explosion.

ETC.....

Here are 884 well sourced examples of Obama’s lying, lawbreaking, corruption, cronyism, hypocrisy, waste, etc. | Dan from Squirrel Hill's Blog


Any party that enables such lies, easy to fulfill broken promises, and etc... from its leader deserves to go down hard in the elections, whether it be Republican, Democrat, or 3rd Party. Obama's party deserves to go down for refusing to make Obama accountable to his word, the country, and the Constitution.

Dem Candidates are pretending they never heard of Obama.

It's hilarious, though pathetic.

Not only have I ever seen a more disingenuous American politician in my lifetime...

...I have never seen a political party freak-out like the Democrats did under Bush policies and then completely acquiesce to those same policies just a few years later (under Obama).

That's what happens when one's loyalty is to a person/party rather than the country/constitution.

It's true that the Democratic Politicians prop up the disastrous Obama Administration and give them a pass on most everything - TeamObama cuts them out of the loop. There have been many articles on the fact that Obama not only ignored Republicans, he ignores his own Democrats. They choose to not appear "disloyal", Obama raises and LOT of MONEY ..... if they speak out against him, they don't get funding from the TeamObama controlled DNC.

All that said -- it's not so much that the Democrats ignore all that stuff in the Original Post ..... it's the Media.
Obama would have never become President and certainly would not have been re-elected IF the Media did not protect him the way they do. The Media has lost respect and credibility for that.

Pick any one thing on that list and consider the Media Storm and coverage IF the President had been a Republican.
People are tired of this - the only way to stop this stuff is to remove the Democrats from office and that's exactly what happened in 2010 and it will happen again on next Tuesday. This is why this entire election is about removing Harry Reid and trying to limit Team Obama. It's a major referendum on both of them.

Odd isn't it?
Especially considering that he took some further than Bush did.

Patriot Act expansion & lengthening the rope on the NSA for a couple of things.

Booker will still win by a slide. Then people here will complain that things never change.

With Obama's acknowledgement & approval to try and fool the people by doing so also.

Talk about deception.
Dishonesty on display it is for all to see that care to look.
