"Republicans praise Obama; do you think it would have been the other way around?"

We already have an example, wherein many democrats had already offered some praise for George Bush's actions, but then were apparently instructed in how they ought to hhave twisted the event to the negative and criticized Bush for doing what he did.

I refer specifically to what Bush was doing on the morning of 9-11, reading a book to a kindergarten class. His aide leaned down and whispered the news of the destruction of the twin towers in New York City. Bush only paused for a moment, nodeed to the aide, and went calmly forward and finished the book.

At first the democrats having anything to do with the situation actually commended him for his calmness, praising him for not leaping to a panic, jumping out of his chair, frightening the kids, causing terror all around, and so forth. But within a few days, the song they were singing had acquired quite a few sour notes. Bush SHOULD have stopped reading and rushed off to Air Force One to hurry back to the White House.

This is a plainly idiotic approach to take. What was Bush supposed to do from the White House? He had everything he always takes with him, right there with him. So does Obama. I would be appalled if Obama were stupid enough to jump out of his chair and knock children flying as he rushed off to do NOTHING USEFUL.

But that's always the way with the Left. Ignore the issues, ignore the debate, just attack the person. Shame on you people. Well, at least you're consistently shameful.
