When Did It Become OK To Disrespect The President So Blatantly?

[Jello Biafra]

Everyone is taking this to a broader level of disrespect (from comedians to talk show hosts to the general public), I am more talking about how the blogger from the vid I posted was talking out his neck to the president's face. I don't recall that being the case with even Bush or Clinton (who I think both got way more general disrespect than any president including Obama). There is just supposed to be a certain amount of respect shown to the office that should preclude anyone from behaving like the guy from the Daily Caller did.

The news and media are different now. People have always dissed presidents but when Oberman started in on Bush and the rest of the world followed...... it was Over.

For here on out, the POTUS will always be publicly shytted on.

were in a DEPRESSION

its hard enough to find work for citizens of this COUNTRY

and president obama just pumped in 1million illegal immigrants into the job market to compete with us americans


the pandering for the latino vote is

nikka THEY GONNA WORK ANYWAY. LEGALLY OR ILLEGALLY.

MY ISSUE WITH PEOPLE WHO BLAME MEXICANS FOR NOT FINDING JOBS IS THIS. YOU CLAIM THAT YOU CAN'T MAKE A LIVING ON THE WAGES THAT THEY ACCEPT BUT SOMEHOW THEY DO AND HAVE ENOUGH TO SEND HOME TO HELP SUPPORT FAMILIES AT HOME. I'M LOST ON THAT. THEY HAVE NO STATE PROGRAMS TO HELP THEM AND YET THEY COME HERE WITH NOTHING AND THRIVE. SHIEEEET I RESPECT THE shyt OUTTA THAT.

THEY COME TO WORK EVERY DAMN DAY AND DO THEIR JOBS. THE ONLY ISSUE I'VE EVER HAD AT WORK WITH ONE IS THE LANGUAGE BARRIER. I DIDN'T HEAR ANYBODY DOING ANYTHING ABOUT ALL THE ENGINEERING/IT JOBS GETTING SCOOPED BY ASIANS/INDIANS YEARS AGO. THEN PHONE SUPPORT JOBS RIGHT AFTER. AT LEAST WITH THESE MEXICANS WE CAN TAX THEM AND GET SOME INCOME. WE GOT NOTHING FOR THOSE LOST WHITE COLLAR JOBS.

 

[tru_m.a.c]

wait i'm confused

why exactly can't I "disrespect" the president???

because he's the president???

Isn't the answer to your question obvious, it doesn't matter what title you hold in life. The only folks not getting disrespected are your parents and the ppl that decide whether or not you have a job.

Everybody else can get it.

 

[duck]

publicly bashing presidents in office aint a new thing

none of you guys hear of Nixon?

 

[LeVraiPapi]

so interupting the president is more direspectful than throwing your OWN SHOE @ HIM?

you bytchass CAC, that was not done in his OWN fukkING COUNTRY. GET IT? That was not his own fukkING COUNTY. THAT WAS NOT THE WHITE fukkING HOUSE.


You a dumazz troll son. I feel bad for your mother

This was after Bush was proven to be a fool. What have Obama and Michelle done to warrant a similar response?

How was bush a "proven fool"? Just because he was inarticulate?

Bush as texas governor:



He doesn't seem so foolish to me. the Problem with bush was Age. He aged quite poorly at least mentally.

Obama seems quite foolish and inarticulate without a teleprompter, and he made as many, if not more, gaffs than bush.




and when it all comes down to it, Bush sold himself as a Neoconservative and an "everyday" American southerner, and really that's the policy that we got. There were no surprises. Nobody thought of him as a super intellectual. He was a supposed "regular guy" that had the same beliefs as many Americans.

Obama was sold as a super-intellectual, Progressive, anti-war, and "world-citizen" canidate. Is that what we got? I'd say no. We got someone who was only as smart as his aides, and who wasn't very articulate unless it was obviously rehearsed. He was a "world-citizen" only if international policy was aligned with American interests. But when it came to war and meddling in the countries of others, Obama really stepped it up to something that only Cheney could dream of.

So, with bush, we got we voted for. With Obama, we really got sold a bill of goods, and I think it's one of the greatest bait-n-switches that I've ever seen in history--a near complete about-face. America voted against bush because of his international policy and the apparent crony-capitalism between the military and the related contractors. not only did these policies continue under Obama, but we saw a full-on acceleration of bush era international policy.

How anyone, black or white, can not feel duped or upset by Obama is beyond me. I think it just shows how extremely biased people can be, and how strongly influential that the assessment of "that guy is like me" can, whether assessor is a white southerner (bush) or a black intellectual, have on someone's politcal views.

What jobs are they taking exactly

Hard labor jobs that most Americans feel they're too good for anyways?

You lost a lot of respect in this thread

And as for that fat piece of shyt having the audacity to interrupt the President while addressing the nation should be punished in some way. That's just downright unacceptable.

Reporter Who Heckled Obama for

Neil Munro, the Daily Caller reporter who interrupted Obama's DREAM Act Lite speech yesterday by yelling, "Why do you favor foreigners over American workers?" is himself a so-called foreigner working a job, here in America. This isn't breaking news: He identifies as Irish-born on his Twitter bio, and he is currently living in D.C. on a green card. It is, however, somewhat notable and ironic when you consider the agenda behind what he maintains was "a conventional, obvious question."

 

[Black Hans]

Like Bush wasn't even more disrespected. Muthaphucka had people calling him a cokehead, writing books with his quotes to show how stupid he was, and got a shoe thrown at him.

Stop it.

Obama earns his disrespect b/c he acts like a bytch nikka.

PS I couldn't stand Bush, either, but to say Obama is more disrespected is
