Sure they did. Your memory is failing you. Here is contemporary coverage of
the anti-Obama rhetoric during the 2012 presidential campaign season:
https://www.cnn.com/2012/02/21/opinion/avlon-hostile-gop-rhetoric

Interestingly, one comment mentioned in the article is that of Kathryn
Sarka, a member of a Romney rally audience: "Obama doesn't understand America.
He follows George Soros. Obama is against our Constitution and our
democracy."

But of course, that was just rhetoric. Trump took it to the next level by
actually attacking our Constitution and our democracy.

 AT> Joe's another Obama when it comes to media attention. They ain't saying

Maybe there's nothing bad to say.

What new Calvinball rule is this?

 AT> Every single broadcast channel the country plus 99% of cable

Your evidence for this?

 AT> Ask anyone "Remeber all those Obama jokes?" and they will say "No I
 AT> don't."

Liberals won't remember any Obama "jokes" because they're not real jokes;
they're only "funny" to conservatives.
