I agree with you. And the mistakes have already begun, and are taking place before our eyes. Some won't and refuse to see it for what it is.

That is their freaking problem. I hold them responsible, should Obama win the election again. Should the ecnomy tank even further, should more people lose their great jobs, and homes too, i won't care, that is all on them.

Do you honestly and sincerely after knowing this guy, think things are going to improve! You are so guillable. And get what we will deserve, one mistake, can be forgiven, two, is just stupid as hell.

Whether your CEO of a company or President of the US, a person must bring respect to the job.

Respect is not automatically earned by anyone. A fool can have a position of power.

The least one can do is respect his title and realize that he is our President and should be respected as such. He is President Obama, not Obummer or Obozo.
I've never done this. I didn't agree with it when liberals online and in the national news media did this to GW Bush for more than 8 years (before, during, and after his presidency) and members of his administration including Cheney, Rove, and Rumsfeld. If any liberal here complains about conservatives making such insulting words about Obama then they are hypocrites for all the years they did the same to GW Bush.

In the Navy we enlisted service members had an old saying we used towards officers we hated. "I have to respect the rank, I don't have to respect the person who wears the rank".

This is so true... always had to love the ensigns fresh out of college and still wet behind the ears, but ran around barking orders at everyone.

No, you're not alone, but you and others like you are wrong because it is you who are looking at this through the prism of racism, not those critical of him and his policies.

I haven`t lost any of my freedoms and I don`t see any threats to democracy other than the voter ID laws. What exactly do you speak of?
