I think the problem is that the Republican leadership want to portray themselves as victims... but they are not innocent either, no
er how bad Obama can be as president. Obama is a
terrible negotiator and had ZERO political experience (only some period of time as Senator, none as mayor or governor) before the presidency, and this is what caused the majority of problems. But the republicans aren't saints. Accusations that the constitution was violated seem a little far fetched in my opinion. I don't want to breach my middle ground here, but really, I think some demagoguery is just too obvious to not notice it. Of course, democrats have had their fair share of demagogues during the bush era as well.
