My issue is with the hypocritical nature of politics...not you...politics. Eight years ago my people were stunned with the turn of events. Whenever, and this is personal experience, we said anything about Bush we got. But he is the President and Commander and Chief he deserves respect. It only got worse after Iraq. Protesting against the war was a blood sport....
Now look at what people say here in this forum? All kinds of claims...this thread is how Obama is killing the American Dream. Where is the respect for the President now? So someone will reply....you all hated Bush so its ok.
Hypocrites....it will never end.

My distaste for 15-20-30-40-year congresspersons holds true for all of them, party irrespective.
As far as commentary for/against any administration, my thanks to the Founding Fathers and the First Amendment. In my lifetime I can't remember any president not getting verbally slammed to some degree. It seems to go with the office, and every candidate knows that today's giant is tomorrow's gnat. And since no president (at least in my lifetime) has sainthood nomination in his future, sometimes there's actually fire where there is smoke.
