The statement was correct at the time Obama made it, and the Dems are correct right now for trying to hold Republicans to the standard that they themselves set.
Sure you can see why one is hypocrisy and the other isn't.
Of course politics is full of hypocrisy on both sides, but this is not an example of "both sides doing the same things".

I think it demonstrates cynicism on both sides - a completely unsurprising result. None of these politicians are taking a moral stand here, they are just trying to get as much power as they can. They don't care at all about tradition or convention, or right or wrong. That's just kabuki theater for suckers.
