Consistency

Hullabaloo:

I certainly hope this makes it quite clear that consistency is not something Obama should count upon from his enemies. Indeed, I fully expect that the next time the Republicans take office they will launch several investigations of the previous Democratic administration (assuming they haven't already taken over congress, in which case they will begin while he's still in office.) They do not observe the self-imposed rules the Democrats put upon themselves. That should be obvious by now.

They will not thank him for doing what they tell him to do. They will simply move on to the next attack.

Or, as Sadly, No puts it: This Is Sure To Pacify Them.
