Your OP was a direct attack on DU'ers that choose to apply the same levels and standards to the President REGARDLESS OF PARTY.
Somehow that offends members of the swarm who seem to think that torture under a Democratic President is fine, but not under a Republican one, or drone attacks with MASSIVE civilian collateral damage under a Dem President are 'the unfortunate costs of war', but 'indiscriminate killing' when done by a Republican President.

But that does NOT make him immune from criticism when he does something wrong, in fact because he's "one of us" we should hold him to a HIGHER standard than the republicans do, not make excuses when he continues on with the same policies that were decried and howled at when implemented by his predecessor.
