I am proud to have voted for Obama. I am thrilled to have him as my President. I have no regrets about voting for Bush. I am grateful to have had him as my President. And though I know I should not judge, the people in the included video are losers who lack class and respect. They represent all that is wrong with this country and all that I hope President Obama can reduce to nothing more than a laughable din.
After the attack on 9/11, I supported George Bush because I felt it was important to support our country. I was appalled when I heard that people booed Bush as he left. I understand where they are coming from, but I cannot support it.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was ridiculous, offensive, and ignorant. Of course, it is often the case that the followers of a leader speak more foolishly than their leader does (see Christians...). President Obama seems to have maintained a dignified and composed posture towards Bush, unlike these yahoos. I hope you're right, and that those voices increasingly are overwhelmed in a sea of sanity.
ReplyDeleteGrateful to have had Bush as your president? Really? What did he do that made you grateful?
ReplyDeleteI think that the sooner we stop thinking that we should treat elected officials with kid gloves, the sooner we'll be able to start holding them accountable in a meaningful way.
ReplyDeleteI want my president to think to himself/herself, "If I do a crappy job, people are going to boo at me and I will feel like crap."
