Move on? It's a good idea to move on when it's the Democrats screwing up, but when it's a Republican, they can still be bashed years later? Isn't this some sort of a double standard. "Let's just act like this little indescetion never happened".
As I stated earlier, Obama is going to be more closely scrutinized than any President in history based on where the country is right now. So far, he's had a less than stellar first couple of weeks. He should be called out when he screws up just as anyone else would be. There's no need for people to make excuses for him or rationalize why he did what he did. President of the United States of America is the highest elected office in the world and should be treated as such.
And if you re-read my earlier statement, I didn't say this is a sign of things to come. I said that it
could
be a long four years if he isn't more careful with the people he surrounds himself with. I'm more than willing to give him time to show what he can do and I'm hoping his Presidency is an unqualified success.
