When I mentioned the incident to her a short while ago and said I wished Obama would say "Fuck you, you motherfucker(s)," she immediately agreed and said she'd become far more enthusiastic for him were he to do so. Just one good, tactical F-bomb and Obama's approval rating would hit 99%! |

For this remarkable man fighting against all the odds to build back our country, to be treated like this should be so offensive to any sane person as to bring an immediate rebuke. And yet we hear nothing and the disrespect not only continues, but escalates. Luckily I don't hear about a lot of it, because I'm far away outside the country, but I cry a little inside often over the things I do hear.
Sick powerful people don't apologize. Apology represents weakness to them. I have relatives who have told me how sad and pathetic it makes one to apologize. Even if you are wrong you never admit it. When I was out in the streets before the Iraq War my sister threatened to kick me out of her house because she said I was disrespecting her President. I pointed out that my disrespect was for War not the President nor the office. She and her husband now cheer on the disrespect for President Obama and send me disgusting viral anti-Obama emails. The haters are a tough nut to crack and apologies are not their thing, but stand up to them we must, so let's all keep pounding on them with a very big hammer; APOLOGY, APOLOGY, APOLOGY. I too am sick of their twisted hatred.    |

If there is an apology it will be the standard G.O.P. non-apology: "I'M SORRY IF I _OFFENDED_ ANYBODY_..."
The truth is, the GOP leadership knows the base eats this up and will do absolutely nothing to discourage this sort of behavior, at least as long as they aren't caught with their hands in cookiejar.  |
