Obama refuses military aid to Ukraine Democrats are happy; Trump delays aid Democrats say it's a crime

Scott Johnson over at PowerLineBlog transcribed this great point from Karl Rove:

I love, I love the fact that the Democrats are now decrying the president’s decision not to move aid, lethal aid, rapidly to Ukraine. After all, the previous administration, a Democratic administration, did nothing to send lethal aid to Ukraine — and the non-lethal aid they refused to fly into Ukraine on C-130s because they didn’t want a U.S. “military” presence in Ukraine. So they dropped [it] off in Poland and citizens had to take that non-lethal aid and put it in the back of their little vehicles and trucks and convey it to Ukraine. So this president at least had the guts to give the Ukrainians the lethal aid to stave off the Russian attempt to subvert that country.

Obama also allowed Biden to force the Ukrainians to fire the one and only prosecutor who just happened to be investigating Biden's son in order to get humanitarian aid.

Clearly the Democrats have two standards. One for we the people and one for themselves.

Oh and one last point. In Col. Vindman's testimony he incorrectly stated that Obama had supplied lethal aid for Ukraine.  Given that Vindman's claim to fame is being the US's expert on Ukraine that's pretty telling.  Either Vindman is biased or he doesn't know as much as he claims to know.
