How does that invalidate the OP's claim??? I don't get it. Both Bush and Obama were disrespected.

Just a hunch.
No because he was testifing to the party in power that was the civilian leaderhip. If you search the testimony is still avilable on line.That is why he was aboandoned by vietnam vertrans in his presidential bid.

This guy works for me and I pay his extremely generous salary.

If he doesn't like it he can quit.

Odds are he'll be getting fired in November anyway.

He works for us, and we also pay his salary. A bit narcistic there don't you think??

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.

Really?? WHAT president?? Blo-bama is not only a crappy excuse for a wanna be pres, but he's NOT even a U.S. citizen so respect WHAT title??
...That's not happening here!

To respect a politician on the same level, or higher, than that of your parents, is an insult to your parents, and it looks bad on you.
I would never insult my parents or anyone elses parents by elevating a politician to the level of respect that our parents deserve. Your parents gave you life .. the Government "did not" ...

Presidents come and go ... Parents are forever.
You can't fire your parents for doing a poor job, but you can always fire a politician .. Politicians are "employees" .. Parents are not.

Obama is a politician .. politicians usually garner about the same amount of respect that lawers and tax collectors do ..

I have a certain regard for the office of the Presidency .. and as soon as we get a President worthy to hold that office .. I'll give him or her that certain regard as well. The certain regard to the office of the Presidency I give, will never be higher, even if we have an honorable person in that office, than the regard I'll give to Mom and Dad .. or to anyone elses Mom and Dad.

And most of the JDub and Bamm Bamm stuff is mild when you consider what they called LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter and Reagan ...

This whole name thing is a non-starter anyway because it's been going on for literal decades.

They are only politicians .. if these people were really all that important, they wouldn't have to lie in order to be elected .. If they told the truth, from the very beginning .. only then would they be worthy of the respect that some here think is due them ..

They only get the respect they deserve .. it's a two way street ladies and gentlemen .. they insult our intelligence and disrespect us by telling us all of these lies just so they can be elected, and here we are, going on and on about respecting a political entity that first disrespected us .. it simply boggles the mind ..

What about the media? They always refer to him as "Mr. Obama", why not 'President Obama'? Even MSNBC, which is as pro-obama as you get.

First and foremost, why don't you try reading and maybe then you can comprehend what is being said, I agreed with the poster that it was wrong to call michelle obama a "ho" because there is no evidence of that. It is really scary that our public schools are teaching people like you to respond without actually reading or even pay the littlest attention to a conversation.
