How did the Democratic Party let this President become so vilified?

255. Historians will make their judgement...

I think most historians will give him high marks.

He did tell the "left" and all Democrats to "keep his feet to the fire". Some have tried to do that but it has not been easy to do. Some of his defenders are like rock walls - they refuse to budge on their support for the President.

Personally, I have disagreed with the President on a few occasions. I thought it was a major mistake by him to make law almost all of the Bush taxcuts. We really could have used those revenues, in my opinion. Yes, that was an instance where I disagreed with him.

But I have also agreed with the President on most occasions. I have written and posted comments on his accomplishments and explained the circumstances that he inherited when he came into office.

However, if someone disagrees with the President, do not they have a duty to speak up? I would agree that some "name-calling" has definitely gone over the top. But, even then, some would say that was simply a small fire around his feet.

Yes, I will wait out the next two years but I will continue to criticize the President when I think he is wrong? I have a hunch, at least I am hoping, that he gets out his veto pen and shows the Republicans that this country is still from the people. I am hoping he will finish his Presidency in strong fashion.
