From what I read in the newspaper, trying to talk to this guy is a waste of breath.

I will say, however, that the insipid, loathesome, inconceivable disrespect shown towards President Obama is based on his race.

Well, I'm not sure what the excuse was with Bush then. With him, even several celebrities got into the nastiness. Obama has no such problem.

My point is.....I agree

Yes, we may all question this situation. However, its his right of Freedom of Speech to put whatever display he wants on HIS property.

It's not uncommon for celebrities to get "into the nastiness."

I'm referring to the tasteless hecklers....the "You lies," the lewd speech interruptions, the sheer ridiculousness that no other president has had to endure at the scale President Obama has. Yet, he deals with it politely. We must maintain respect for the Office...regardless of who is in the seat.

Come on, now....I have NEVER seen such behavior.....it's actually quite embarrassing.

Your reply is completely non sequitur. And of course. As expected. Resort to name calling. You've just discredited yourself in my books, so I won't even address the ridiculousness.
