I say you give any president his traditions, and hosting champions is one. did the left give any quarter in this respect to bush?, mostly no, but i think that if politics is a fight for the independent vote, always crying wolf makes you lose credibility when you are trying to sway them with a real issue.
Some are Conservative but say Independent because they don't want to be harassed.
Most are Democrats who are embarrassed by their votes, but will not change.
I believe that the Left’s ‘crying wolf’ at every move President Bush made is the reason behind their responses to the Real scandals of President Obama. They weren’t serious just hysterical when Bush was in office. Maybe they are in crisis fatigue.
