Does anyone else think that this reporter could have been more respectful with the way she questioned the President of the United States?
Was her approach warranted. Did she expect him to act a different way than he did because he is black? Or if he were a white president, do you think she would have even questioned him in the first place?

Wow, where to begin?

OK, let's see. Yes, you are getting carried away.

Why does anyone need to be respectful of any president. They are government employees, as in, they work for us.

Here's a link on the subject.

LII: Constitution

Notice the "We the people" thing. It's very telling.

Can't comment on what one black person expects from another black person since I'm white.

If he were white and a first-term Senator with no executive experience, would he be president in order to be in that situation? It isn't like he's a Kennedy, although he did buy his way in the same way a Kennedy would.
