while there is so much criticism of some of what is said about Obama and the disrespect, et al.

Help me understand what rationale some of the very same folks who plead for some respect of the man who happens to be POTUS.......just what would you categorize all the Bush bashing and retrospective negative commentary about Bush. I thought he was POTUS as well! Entitled to the same respect.
Please enlighten me what the difference could possibly be.

I usually never get an equitable answer to simple questions like this.
