Bush & Company

What ever happened to "Give credit where credit is due?"

The graceless and petty Republican Congress, so resentful of any success enjoyed by President Obama, refuse to acknowledge his quietly achieved triumphs in the Middle East---Tea Party approval not being required.

In some cases, the lawmakers vaguely acclaim outside influences, in others, criticize how the president did it.

The penchant of the spiteful few
To lend no praise where credit's due
But castigate---while nothing new---
The president's singular success
Just proves him more and them much less.
