What happened to the rethug mantra of not criticizing the President during times of crisis?

Remember when * was in office, they would always say 'We all need to support our President during times of crisis' blah blah blah.

Seems they've completely forgotten about that.

I'm sure they'd respond "but but but...Obama is a secret Muslim communist, so that doesn't count"

because everytime they break protocols, there will be payback (at least their belief once cooler heads prevail among their own folks).

Just like they want small government but when it comes to banning gay marriage or abortions they are for complete government rule against that.

Democrats aren't legitimate presidents so deserve no respect.

They are able to believe two contradictory things without any cognitive dissonance:
Obama is: a crony capitalist and a Marxist/socialist
a Muslim and a member of a radical black church
an elite Harvard graduate; an illegal immigrant
a warmonger in Libya; weak in Libya
A Kenyan and Indonesian

Obviously President Obama i is doing better than President Bush at keeping the fighting "Over there" instead of "Over here" too.

Maybe Republicans have Alzheimer's or something, well just the ones willing to vote for the "Flip-flopper".
