Why do we need to support the president?

[blue]

So basicaly the opposite of how the MSM treated the last POTUS for 8 years?

Unless BOTH parties can stop the crap, we're going to be in the same position as the Middle East is in. Everyone fighting, no one getting a damned thing done, and no one able to say why they're fighting, other than because they are.

Without some statesmen in place of politicians, however, I dont see it happening.

The crap will still fly only we will see less of it now then from the previous 8 years thanks to the MSM (main stream media).

So why weren't these concepts of:

not criticizing every decision and every word that comes out of his mouth...

respect for the 'office'.....





Not in effect for the last 8 years?




I kept my mouth shut in the Clinton years and I will keep my mouth shut for the Obama administration.

[Lady's Human]

If people want to go to the level of "I ain't gonna do it 'cause you didn't say nuthin' to them and they did the same thing".....

Then as usual, we get what we deserve.

One of my major issues with politics as currently practiced. I can handle my 4 year old acting like a four year old.

Adults should bloody well act and speak like adults.

You have a problem with the terminology?


Gee,
You didn't bring up the word hypocrite, I am confused.

As you said...

It was better to leave an ill mannered person alone, than it was to correct the situation.

[RICHARD]

As you said...

WTF?

That's a left wing media trick, quoting ill mannered people talking about ill manners on a thread about ill manners.


That makes me ILL.

I think all comedians should and can, take advantage regarding the great oratory skills of the current president and ..........ahhhhhhh.......ummmmmmm not be ahhhh, shy to ummmmmmmm poke a little ummmmmmmm fun about it?


I am not going to turn that last line into a CLinton joke!


And where is Luke Wilson when you need him?

I guess I am just misunderstanding the word "support" in this context. When I hear the phrase, "I support the president," it seems like an endorsement or advocating for or promoting them/their ideas. I must be too hung up on the semantics of the statement when people really mean something else altogether.

I appreciate the quote from Theodore Roosevelt- that is exactly how I feel. It's our job as voters and members of society to pay attention and think critically about issues. In my observations, it seems like this doesn't happen enough.

You are joking, right? The last president ( who's name I forget ) was
let slide without any serious questioning about anything. It has only been
the last 4 years since the media woke up to it's responsibilities and began
to speak truth to power.

Funny, they knew John and Bobby were having at Marilyn and they couldn't figure out that was going on during the last few years?

So there has been a right wing conspiracy in the media? Shame on them-this is the same 'media' that people quoted every day-especially when GWB made a faus pax?


But even more shame om the people who quote the same stupid, lame and buffonish mediam, and hung on every word, during those four years.

We can criticize them for falling asleep at the wheel, then hang on every story they produce? Shame on me for believing.


When we add weight to anything that RL says, we make him relevent.

Now, Why not comment on the statements by the effing moron rappers who were all over BO being the new president?

LOL, I saw Bill O'reilly play them on his show last night. Poor Barack, He's job is way tougher with effing morons like that singing his praises.

[Edwina's Secretary]

This is soooo fun! The same people who have complained about the "media" -- as if it is some monolithic, homogenous group (Fox News = MSNBC anyone???)--are scrambling madly to figure out what to complain (or is that carp???) about now....rappers...okay...

I am going to make a guess here...anyone else think the reporters who covered John and Bobby Kennedy have retired by now?

Whining, crabbing, carping...using barely disguised "F-bombs" (when you don't have anything intelligent to say...go with the F) -- sure beats doing anything -- or saying anything meaningful.

It reminds me of that poor woman from Alaska -- her 15 minutes of fame are over so she has to keep calling press conferences to complain about what people are saying about her. Or said about her. Or might say about her. Or might say about someone else that they should be saying about her. Or should have said about her.

The election is over - Done. Let's fix something.

Well, President Obama sighed the order to close Gitmo within the year. A
good start.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL,

You slay me. I have to disguise the F bombs. You can spell out HYPOCRITE, or any other word, when you toss one of those my way.

It's all a matter of perception.

IT's time for you to take some of the slings and arrows for your dude.

Buck up and gird your loins.

That a "B" in front of the 'uck'.

Actually, I should be kinder and more reserved. I really hate it when people complain about my posts, yet refuse to own theirs.
