I don’t even have much to say. I’m just passing this along. Less than twenty minutes ago, I had this interaction with a caller to my radio show.

The caller posits that I should not hold the President of the United States to a higher standard than those around me and I should not criticize his idiot tweets.

I disagree.

I also think this sort of thinking is deeply destructive to the President’s own re-election chances when everything he does is affirmed and unchallenged. It just reinforces bad behavior.
