Say No to Sycophantism

"For some time at the outset, we were willing to give Republicans the
benefit of the doubt. They convinced us they were really working, and that
we had just had unfortunate timing. It wasn't until the pattern of "just
missed it" started to sound like a drumbeat in our ears that we began to
grow skeptical. We never "just missed" any of the Obama volunteer work,
because it goes on nonstop, every day, in every office, in every corner of
America."
