The terrible burden of being a leader... Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Washington was one of the most popular people in the new Union right up until he got elected president... then he became one of the most loathed figures of the time because he did something he thought he shouldn't--run for President. He took his peer's advice and did so anyway.
Yes, someone is always going to hate what you do. Reagan had his share of "terrible press." So did Clinton. If you want recent examples, look at how hard the right fought Obama on everything... even to the point of denying him his Constitutionally granted right to appoint a SCOTUS Justice.
You can cry "oh but the media and critics" but you have to do what's right despite the criticism because doing nothing is worse. To quote, "There is a fine line between consideration and hesitation. The former is wisdom, the latter is fear." Please, cry some more about how terrible the media is. It's not the media who gets to be final arbitrator; it's the voters by electing (or rather re-electing or not), justices (by hearing what can and can't be used in a court of law), and finally by history, who is often the final authority on what was right, wrong, or just plain stupid. Yet all he seems to do is sit in his damned office worried about optics, not about what's right, wrong, or worthy of action.
To end, I'll just leave a little fun troll here: Liberal tears are bland and tasteless because they always flow so easily. Conservative tears are salty and full of vigor because it's hard to get at them, but when they do come... boy are they tasty!
