He is my President and I will respect the office, but he acts like an immature buffoon and needs to remember what office he was elected to and start acting like he belongs there.
It will be easier treating him with respect when he starts showing some respect to the office and to all of us that may disagree with him on some issues.
That has been one of my major problems with him from the beginning - he's a jerk. An arrogant jerk at that. He always acts immature and he doesn't handle himself well in stressful situations. He flipped off Hillary. Supposedly he flipped off McCain. He refused to speak to the media that was on his campaign plane for what was it? Eleven days? After the last primary debate where he had his butt handed to him on a platter... and so many other things. He's is very immature, very cocky, very arrogant and very thin skinned.
They even had a logo that said something like "office of President Elect".
Seriously? How ridiculous can this man get?
I guess that it is OK to pick on Sarah Palin because of her accent though!
I've learned this election that the liberals are very hypocritical. Very.
hi:
i'd like to say that i understand who has been elected to the office of POTUS, and i respect the office, my country, and our history, but i do not feel i MUST respect the person filling the position.
respect is earned.
to date, this person has been disrespectful of what this country is about, what the flag represents, and of former POTUSs (and now their wives too?). when he shows that he is respectful of this country and what we have all done to maintain our freedom and opportunities, i will consider paying him resect.
Agree
Oh yeah, did you all hear Sarah is doing an exclusive interview with Greta on Monday night?

WOW- 64% Of Republicans Want Palin to Run in 2012
But..but.. but..64% of Republicans can't want her in 2012 - she's the reason enough of them didn't vote giving McCain the win.
Seriously, I was reading somewhere else where liberal idiots werent on to pipe in every two seconds stating that Sarah wasnt qualified or Sarah is stupid or its all Sarahs fault
(Oh, and to any liberals lurking on here right now
and I know youre there
you do realize that Sarah is a Governor right? A Governor is above a Senator. Therefore, until Obamas inauguration in January, Sarah holds a higher position in the country than Obama does yet shes the one not qualified for the job?
Whatever.)
Back on topic: they had a really good discussion going as to why McCain may have lost. Yes, many Republicans stayed at home
but it wasnt because of Sarah Palin. As we keep trying to explain to the left, and what in their vile hatred of the woman they wont listen to, Sarah is the reason that McCain did so well because she riled up the conservative base. It has to do with the economy. McCain lost a lot of his votes when he voted for the bailout. That turned a lot of fiscal conservatives off and that was when his poll numbers began to slide back down. They already werent keen on the man and then they didnt trust him to run the country as a conservative if he was voting on a socialistic program such as the bailout.
Oprah now wanting to interview Sarah Palin. I hope Sarah tells Oprah were to stick it. I wouldn't go on her show if she was the only show.
I hope that she does too.
My mother is still crying over the election. She has friends in Germany (former east Germans) and they are laughing at the stupid Americans for voting the socialist in office. Americans sold out for a few bucks and some slick words.
It's very telling, the world reaction. Our enemies celebrated and then began getting aggressive towards us. People, like the eastern Germans, who understand communism and socialism and have suffered under it all call us idiots for electing a man to move us in that direction. While we are not all idiots, because many of us on this thread saw Obama for what he was and refused to vote for him, we're still going to have to suffer from the decision that the idiots of this country made. Sadly, there were more idiots that voted this election than intelligent people.
Yup, Tink & Goofy, it was just on my radio that Obama "called Nancy Reagan and apologized for his careless joke."
Apparently he's been hanging out with Joe "Foot-In-Mouth" Biden too much.
No, it's not because of Biden. Obama has astounding arrogance and in that arrogance he says crass and offensive things all the time and all on his own. I think that's why he has to use a teleprompter all the time; so that he'll stick to a prepared speech written by someone else and not say something stupid and offensive.
You know how our weather is. It's really hard to plan in advance if you're going to be outdoors. That's why I was initially thinking the Science Center, because then the weather doesn't matter. 
Unfortunately I'm alone with my son tonight, and I don't dare go to sleep and leave a five year old boy unattended.
i voted for the first time this year and was proud to vote but so upset!!! i cried when mccain gave his speech lol. can't wait to vote again in 2012!
