Respect, nothing more. Just a simple show of respect [View all]
You don't have to like all of his policies. They are not perfect.
Yet step back for a moment, I know frustration runs high when we can't complete the simplest of legislation. Passing minimum wage, extending unemployment benefits even the most basic gun control is impossible. And more so much more. So let's be honest here, it's not the Presidents fault. It's the do nothing congress and a GOP party that has vowed to make this President fail. I fail to understand the daily outrage here about Obama, yet no one rails at the GOP and baggers.
For those that believe Obama owns a magic wand and can do anything, well you must remember what you learned in civics class so many years ago. There are 3 branches of government and this President is not the one who makes the laws. Remember studying that? The congress makes the laws.
On DU this President has been called worse than Bush. He has been called a POS. He has been called every name under the rainbow. No holds barred. He is not having his feet held to the fire. He is in flames here.
All I ask is an ounce of respect for our Democratically elected President. Our first elected African American President. I ask for the respect of his office. We are Democrats.
