[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I almost never read posts in this forum but something made me click on this.  I'm virulently anti-Obama and virulently anti-legalized pot.

Neither of those things is what upsets me in this article.  Maybe it's part of my old-fashioned conservative views, but I'm most bothered by the news reports that we've now stooped to calling our President "Barack".  Maybe it hearkens to the threads about whether people allow their three year olds to refer to adults by their first names without a Mr. or Ms. Modifier.  But, something makes me sad that we've reached a stage where respect is not a valued trait at all.

Like him or not, we've elected him. well, not me, but you get my point.  He's the President of the United States, and although we're struggling we are arguably still the strongest nation on the world stage.  He's got a pretty powerful job, and to kid ourselves that he's just like you and me is ridiculous.  Makes me sad on a broader societal scale.

That's it.  Carry on with bashing Jeff, Obama, Congress and anyone else you can think of.[/quote]Nobody calls Bush by this first name nor Clinton nor Romney  This goes far, far deeper addressing Obama by his first name.

I respect the Office regardless who is there, and I guarantee you will NOT see the same level of disrespect when the next president takes charge regardless whether a Democrat or Republican, period.[/quote

The left likes to refer to President Bush as "Dubyu". Not his first name but not his title either. [/quote]
