If Hillary Clinton does win the WH in 2016 [View all]

(gawd forbid)
will some of her critics be able to be as critical toward her as some are towards President Obama these past years, here on DU? For four or eight years long?

Or will the rules have to change and why should they?

I will be as respectful toward President Hillary Clinton as others have been respectful toward President Obama.
