42. Your flailing attempt to support a hypocritical position is laughable

Once again, google “holding feet to the fire” (without quotes) on DU in the search bar in the upper right yields around 20,000 hits, most of those justifying criticism of Obama.

Most DUers are very familiar with having seen the phrase “holding their feet to the fire” more times than they care to count. You can try to pretend it has nothing to do with criticism of various Democrats, but no one is going to buy that.
