    I don't even think he deserves to be named after a dump.

    I tend to agree with this. The less I hear and/or see of GWB after 20 January 2009, the better. Let him disappear into a black hole . . . . . . .

    As much as I dislike former President Clinton, I wouldn't support anyone doing something like this. To say it's childish would be an understatement.

    The leader of the most corrupt administration in US History is on the $50 bill. Regardless of your opinion of the man, respect the office.

    I do agree with respecting the office.....however, I am honored to live in a country where we don't have to. Thank you to all of the soldiers who made that possible

    I agree completely.

    I was watching the movie "Stop Loss" with my husband yesterday and at one point the soldier actually says "F- the president" I felt phyiscally ill even though it was just a movie. Show some respect!!!

    It is our job as good citizens to participate, vote, and if we cannot find anyone worthy of voting for, to run for office.

    The mayor of our city is not running for re-election, and hoped that his announcement of that decision would deflect attention from the vote he wanted approved for a huge tax increase. It didn't work, the tax increase got voted down, and he is still a "lame duck."

    We need not respect the individuals in office, but those who do not vote have no grounds to complain, in my humble opinion.

    And while Mr. Bush did not win my state, he is still my President, as I am not ready to try to lead Massachusetts on a secessionist movement. Write your senators if you don't like the job they are doing - they'll never change if they don't hear what they are doing wrong. Be specific, include your return address ...

    They.....define "they".

    We are citizens of a representative republic.

    There are 537 people in Washington D.C. who we elect to represent us, either through a direct vote or the electoral college.

    The President, constitutionally, has no more power than Congress or the SCOTUS. In reality, the Presidency is a rather weak executive office.

    Don't like what's going on? Your vote against your incumbent congressional representatives will have far more effect than any vote for the oval office. Nothing will change while the incumbency rate in Congress remains in the 90% range.

    Nixon is on the $50 dollar bill?

    U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant is on the $50 - know your American History, or is he just a familiar name to you, without knowing of his administration?

    I believe she said Nixon tongue-in-cheek

    I guess the rolly eyes wasn't enough of a tip off for sarcasm.


    Sorry if the "my President, right or wrong" doesn't fly for me.


    My OP was a question on naming a plant, not a question on patriotism.
