Reply #1: We need more from Obama than we needed from Clinton [View All]

Merely because our house is now burning down, rather than simply at imminent risk of burning down as it was in the Clinton years. People are going to blame and criticize leaders more when they are made miserable by a current crisis than when they are oblivious to an approaching crisis.

It doesn't matter that Obama is better than Clinton on many issues, and it wouldn't matter if Clinton himself were president. The standard is higher now simply because we are loaded with more misery and in much more desperate need than we have been in eighty years.
