32. It's not the first time we are seeing this attitude towards Democratis

by this president. I remember that the Dem leadership under Pelosi had to go to the WH during campaign season to ask the President to 'stop lumping Democrats with Republicans' when he was speaking about Congress not doing what they ought to be doing'.

It had been noticed by many people that whenever he DID mildly criticize Republicans, he made sure to point out that it 'both sides' who needed to step up and do their jobs.

With elections coming up this was unprecedented, and he was asked to stop playing that moral equivalency game as it could hurt Dems in the upcoming elections.

I would love to see him attack Republicans with the same fervor he is now attacking some our best Democrats.
