The grand finale is not very nice. Remember he is our President and should be treated with respect.

I respect your right to your opinion, however, I do not respect the present POTUS as he has not earned my respect, IMO which I am entitled to.

My parents taught me to respect other people's opinions, even those that differed from mine, and try to find areas of agreement and commonality. That I should empathize with people who are of different persuasions and try to understand what in their lives makes them feel, think, or act the way they do. One story that I think illustrates the way I was brought up; I was about 10 years old and President Eisenhower was on the television, giving a speech. I was talking to someone else and said out loud - "He's an idiot" - referring to someone else we were talking about. My mother overheard me and thought I was saying that about the president, and gave me a stern lecture, saying that he was the president and should always be shown the proper respect, and never called names. Now I was well aware that my mother was a dyed in the wool Roosevelt democrat, and it struck me at the time, and has stayed with me to this day, that she was defending the honor of a president with whom she disagreed and opposed. I am glad I had the parental guidance that I had and wish more people had had the same.

Thanks for the support.

Being a good Army brat, I was raised to respect the rank regardless of the person owning it. Sorry, but to call any president a "struggling incompetent liar" is disrespectful to the position being held. Whether you like it or not, he was elected as our President. Maybe you should have warned us that this really had nothing to do with Scrabble but rather was a political joke and put it in the political forum where it belongs. I'm sorry that you feel that this old, hackneyed joke (I saw a variation of it when Clinton was president) is even worth repeating.

:agree: and would if it were in regard to GWB. Thanks Red!

I think it should have been posted in political.

Probably, but it's not really political, just mean spririted and disrespectful. This is emblematic of the problem we have in the political debate today - lack of respect and ad hominem attacks with no substance or thougtfullness.

I, for one, will always show respect for any government official that HONORS his/her oath of office and swears upon the BIBLE to do so at the time they are sworn into office.

[Guest]

The original poster did tell the truth. Whether it belongs in political is Admin call.

Remember, respect is earned not inherited or voted on.

[Guest]

They were clever up until the end. It would have been much more effective if someone had actually rearranged the letters.

I could not agree more. If it were about President George W. Bush or any other past or future president, I would see it the same way.

...BTW, if you rearrange the letters of "President Barack Obama" as stated, you do not get that tacky phrase. Talk about a lack of thoughtfulness. :024:

What is interesting about the original post is that it has been around for a while. The poster did not create the anagrams, and obviously is not capable of doing so or else the last one would have been a true anagram.

That is part of the humor. The message was sent and they didn't care if it was not an anagram. My gosh...

:agree: ~ and add: one who shows respect for the people whom he has sworn to serve, compassion and attention to their needs, unswerving loyalty to the USA, and places himself last after every one of his fellow Americans.

I guess we disagree on the definition of "humor".

Yes, I guess we do.I thought you were taking a vacation from this forum. You even started your own farewell thread. My, My.
