Here's SL's point. Many republicans in the media have been pointedly leaving Obama's name out of any accolades and/or invoking Bush's name instead. Purposely trying to avoid giving credit where credit is due to Obama. SL is wondering if scaeagles is doing the same thing. Would his post in response to similar news, had it happened under the last President's term, been similarly devoid of mention of the executive branch, or is that omission reserved for Obama? I think it's a pretty valid question in a climate where explicitly leaving Obama out of the equation is a high profile form of partisan rhetoric being tossed around right now. AND considering that that is precisely what the discussion in the thread right before he posted it was about. There was a link to a public comment that omitted Obama's name, discussion about said omission, then scaeagle's post that omitted Obama's name. Is it really that controversial, in that context to then ask about the omission.
