But it is hard to overlook how this would be an explosive outrage lasting months, if not years under Obama, Clinton, or probably any Democrat. Every week offers one or more of these "What if Obama..." moments of infuriating double standard, but this one seems to be in the sweet spot of a particularly egregious example because of the respect for troops angle.
you seem genuinely shocked that hypocrisy and double-standards exists in politics, regardless of office or party. It is almost as if you have literally no awareness for the general history of politics and no knowledge of of American history. I mean, you seriously think you are the only guy that has ever figured this out? Is this your first ever political season? This whole notion of "Geez, Mr. Wilson why don't the Democrats treat a Republican President the same as a Democrat President?" is seriously tiresome and drains the hope out of any dream that your hair fire will eventually die out.
