Ahhh. But Obama was the one who promised something called "change". HE was going to be a different (better) kind of politician. HE was going to end the partisan rhetoric and bring us all together. Since his entire campaign was based upon "change", I don't think it's a valid defense to say "everyone does it".
He promises to be different, people buy it, he turns out not to be different, , and no one holds him accountable for that.
And Spence, in the same thread here, yuo claimed that (1) you don't agree that Obama demonizes the opposition, and then (2) you defend it by saying everyone else does it.
Spence: Obama doesn't sling mud. And besides, it's OK when he does it, because everyone else does.
