The strongest criticisms against the Obama administration weren't the juvenile tan suit tabloid pieces, it was when he reauthorized the illegal, warrantless mass surveillance of the American public and prosecuted whistleblowers after campaigning on protecting them. That, or drone striking the civilian weddings.

Those were wrong and bad and Democrats should be emotionally honest with themselves about that in the same way Republicans should be emotionally honest with themselves about the fact that laws criminalizing out of state abortions (like the one on the books in Oklahoma) are a reprehensible attack on some of the most foundational values of both western society and the American nation - freedom of movement and states only being allowed to regulate activity within their own borders. That Oklahoma law is more befitting of North Korea than Oklahoma, and Republicans should be as righteously indignant about this moral atrocity as they are about Obama drone bombing civilians.

We should all be honest with ourselves and with eachother when our elected officials do objectively bad things that violate human rights rather than expanding and upholding them. Less partisan mud slinging about dumb stuff like tour bus tapes and suit colors and more serious discussion about the wrongs actually happening, why the wrongs are wrong, and how to make them right.
