Obama had to be perfect and still they crucified him:

1. Don't forget the Tan Suit scandal

He had the unspeakable nerve to wear a TAN SUIT.

3. And when he asked for spicy mustard on his burger instead of yellow.

[applegrove]

5. He looked so good in that tan suit it was a direct attack

on the GOP.

[CTyankee]

9. AND the fact that he was in Martha's Vineyard where all those snooty Dems have homes, like that's a crime...

2. Rich white male privilege.

[Omnipresent]

4. Electing a black man was more than they could take..

Then he wore a tan suit!

[Autumn]

6. They do that to every Democratic President. Every Dem president in my

lifetime has been put through hell. It's what they do.

[Hekate]

11. This was far worse, because the GOP activated a backlash the likes of which I have never seen...

It started when he was running, on both the right and left.

He was too black. He wasn’t black enough. And those slurs came from our friends, with plenty more. He “caved” on a long list of things. He was “spelunking” if the poster was trying to be clever. Everybody sooner or later got thrown under the bus. Like I said, our own side.

AFAIAC his greatest fault was a lack of tooting his own horn. He and Joe got a lot done, despite the GOP — but unlike trump, he didn’t advertise or create a Dept of Propaganda.

As for the RW, much of it was predictable — only the sheer relentless volume of the racist hatred surprised me.

12. It wasn't even half as bad as they did Hillary. And Bill even though he made a stupid

decision to have an affair with Monica. .

7. Because it was about Power.

Dems are pilloried with ginned-up scandals because Republicans want power, not because they have actual ethical standards.

When a Dem is actually corrupt, Dems say so. Menendez is the latest example.

This is why "both sides" idiots infuriate me.

[mdbl]

8. The way the GOP treated Obama was truly reprehensible and completely disrespectful

It was then I saw the true extent of the amount of people in this country who foment racism, fear and hate.

[mcar]

10. All very true

And we saw a lot of it here, sad to say.
