Anyway... The comment before was right. Its always someone else's fault when Obama screws up (on a daily basis)

Quite interesting that that is your analysis on the comment. Do you really think obama does all the preparation for these sort of appearances? You can't be that naive. He was ill-prepared for that appearance, and at the end of the day, that is his own personal responsibility.

No, but I never approved of anyone acting like this towards W or any other President.

You don't have to like him, don't have to like his policies, and for sure you didn't vote for him. Celebrating obnoxious and disrespectful behavior towards this particular President, as this OP does, is classless.

I agree 100%. I have voiced my disapproval about former President Bush's policies many times & I will continue to do so, but I have also defended him against stupid & inappropriate comments that you see numerous times a day in the OT forum about President Obama. Apparently for some patriotism & respect for the Presidential office only applies if the President happens to be from your own political party.

Bash the decisions & policies, but respect the office... the two are not mutually exclusive.

Politics has always been a dirty contact sport. It's a myth that it was ever anything different.

True, but if someone resorts to the same empty rhetoric & personal attacks then they become part of the problem. Most of the OT trolls are guilty of this on a consistent basis... they demonize the other end of the spectrum (left or right) for the same ####### they are engaging in.

Its funny how you never specifically criticize any "left wingers" only in generalities. Its because you agree with them while trying to remain a populist.

Ummm did I single anyone out here? Yes you are one of the people I am talking about... all about rhetoric, ignorance & finger pointing but when it comes to backing up your opinions with fact you fall flat on your face. However you completely glossed over the fact that I have defended former President Bush, Sarah Palin & others when they were attacked on a personal level even though both are terrible politicians IMO. Can you or anyone else from the right wing peanut gallery say the same thing about President Obama?

As for my political views they are moderate compared to Americans as a whole but yea they seem left of center on VJ because quite frankly most of the VJers on the right are far right. Heck according to you Bill O'Reilly is a "lib". B)
