Methinks that "unpleasant" is about the nicest possible adjective to use in this case.
I don't know how far you go back, but I remember Bill Clinton doing this same sort of thing when he was in office and republicans squealed. Difference was that, back then, an occasional sacrificial lamb was all the republicans really needed to be content. That served bubba's legacy well and only scarred the Democratic Party a little.
However, today, the scene is quite different and this co. ward lee conduct has been harmful to Dems in general because this President reflexively accepts all blame for virtually anything that he's accused of.
Polls still show the public generally not considering Dems as leaders for solutions and I believe Obama and his staff have no concern about this because they value the man's legacy more than solving our problems. Idk how history will find Obama, but his legacy would be best served by getting up in the morning to publicly lambaste the republicans in Congress, continuously promote the solutions that the majority of citizens prefer, and even if zero legislation passes during the entire term, he'd be a success if the public debate became focused on real problems and real solutions.
Instead, we get this theater of the absurd from both sides and a growing number of Americans is catching on to it.
