I've heard this said by people here as well as by radio talk show hosts:
"You should respect the office of the President, even if you have no respect for the man in office."
My question is; Why?
Why exactly do I have to respect the office of a public servant? Do you think that the founding fathers intended for the US Citizens to place respect and even reverence for the office of the President?
Yes. Perhaps not "reverence", but certainly respect.
Do you think that George Washington didn't expect "respect" for his office?
I wouldn't know what George felt. That said, I think I read some where that he didn't want the job.
