Let's put this whole "respect" thing into perspective.

President Obama did not earn my respect by winning the election. My respect would be won by how he governed.

Obama, up to the 2010 midterm elections had full rein to steer the economy towards prosperity. Instead, he chose to force ObamaCare down our throats, take GM from it's rightful owners and give it to the union and take billions of our tax dollars to "stimulate" our economy...and I think we can all agree that failed miserably. He pumped "our" money into companies like Solyndra knowing they would fail. He has hidden the truth about Fast And Furious from the country.

While doing these things he has constantly blamed republicans. He has stooped to name calling and attacking the people of the Tea Party. He cannot man up enough to get over his predecessor. He constantly whines while trying to look cool. He blames instead of taking ANY responsibility.

Sorry man, I have zero respect to show a President that can't give me the same. Yes, I respect the office. In no way do I respect the way this man has lead this country. ZERO!

I agree, SP. I have no respect for Obama and he would be among the last people on Earth who I would even want to share a meal. I respect many, many people with whom I rarely agree but Obama is anti-American to his core and there is no doubt in my mind that he does not have this country's best interests at heart.

I have never felt that way about any other president. I believe that FDR, LBJ, and even Jimmy Carter acted in what they believed was the best interests of the American people. Obama really does see himself as a "citizen of the world," whose mission is to level the playing field for people living in Third World Countries at the expense of his own countrymen.

I respect the office of the Presidency very much and I truly hope that the office is filled soon with a man worthy of the same respect.
