Thread Name: BS: Obama Honeymoon lasts 3 days
Subject: RE: BS: Obama Honeymoon lasts 3 days
Anybody who claims that Obama's "honeymoon" is over in 3 days seems to be incredibly naive about politics. The term "honeymoon" is absurdly misleading anyway. No president has been totally free from criticism--for any sizable period of time--including FDR--with the possible exception of Washington. (In Washington's case, the predominant sentiment when he was first "elected" (unanimously) was gratitude that he was willing, Cincinnatus-like, to try to lead a group of fractious states which might become a country. And the gratitude did not last).
