Obama why do we not question him? [View all]

First I will state I am a liberal Democrat. Second, we need to ask Obama hard questions as to why he does what he does. If we had a Republican who continued wars the previous administration started we would raise cain. If a Republican took away some of our rights, we raise hell. If a Republican used drones to kill Americans overseas we scream why. If financial treaties such as the Pacific ream agreement was being done behind closed doors, we have marches to the White House. If a Republican allowed the CIA to work with local law enforcement to brutalize the Occupy movement we support the ACLU. If a republican allowed disasters such as Wall Street or the Gulf oil we would rally the troops to want punishment. If a Republican would not enforce rules set by the EPA people would rally and Democrats would stand with them, coal mining in West Virginia.
I want to know do we only want to win the election or have we forgot that we are the little guys protector? Where are we Democrats?
