(62,325 posts)bashed FDR by incorrectly stating that FDR 'waited six months' before he decided to do something to help people when took office. That was incorrect.
'Bashing' means attacking someone for something they did not do. If you can find something in Manny's posts that refer to the President that is deliberately incorrect and intended to create a false impression, then post them. Otherwise you have incorrectly used the word 'bashing'. The word you should have used is 'criticized' which it is the duty of citizens to do regarding elected officials, so long as they are accurate in their criticism.
This President is a Democrat. We give him the respect we do not give Republican president, which is we expect him to act like a Democrat. That includes not bashing one of the best Democratic presidents on Social Issues in the last century. And not even considering dismantling the Social Network that is the cornerstone of the Democratic Party, not even a teeny, weeny bit to satisfy Republicans. And when he does suggest doing such a thing, which he has, it is not just Manny who will criticize him, it is ALL Democrats.
