re: #104 DaddyG
There is a distinction.
Criticism falls under “blaming”.
Bashing is the name calling (Chimpbushhitler…) and other unhinged behavior.
The President has engaged in blaming. This is horribly non-productive because it focuses on placing fault and neglects to own up to the bi-partisan problems that need fixing, not affixing to each others party.
To be fair, the GOP hasn’t exactly been the model party for this either.
