Never could understand why the left still can not figure out the Tea party was started by Obama care. Boy they think they can punch someone in the nose and not get paid back in kind.

Anyone remember the routine insults the Left heaped on Bush? The Office of the President is fair game for ridicule now and forever more. That is now part of the job description.
My cousin, way more liberal than I am, met Bush and shook his hand. I have no problem with people calling out Presidents on their policies. But when you emphasize middle names (Hussein), and claim that the President ordered the killing of Americans (Benghazi); then that's completely disrespectful.
Has nothing to do with the office...everything to do with the moron occupying it.
Building off of another thread...
1. The birther fiasco (2009-2011). No evidence. No proof. No documentation. But the story traveled on for years. Yes, Hawaii is part of the United States of America.
2. You lie (Sept. 2009). That any individual no less a member of Congress watching a U.S. President during a joint session on live national television is so lacking in self control that this moment was made possible is incredible even in an age of incivility. Remember this happened only nine months into Obamas presidency and is another we cant remember that ever happening ever before moment. Close your eyes and pretend Rep. Maxine Waters was Wilson doing this to President Bush and image the reaction.
3. Signs of the Tea Party (July 2010) and Naked Racism (April 2011). Anyone remember California GOP official Marilyn Davenports racist e-mail? Did she ever resign for that? I remember all the criticism of the NAACP particularly from Black Republicans for their Tea Party resolution of 2010. Where was that indignation regarding what can be viewed in this video? Click here.
4. Donald unchecked ego Trump inflames birther fiasco, media assists (April 2011). The mouth of Donald Trump is a powerful thing when joined with a 24-hour cable news cycle desperate for viewers. That news organizations invited Trump on the air unchallenged with zero proof of what he was saying speaks volumes on the state of journalism. That Trump was completely comfortable demanding that a U.S. President show him his papers displays a superiority complex that exists among those who cant accept someone they view as lesser in a position of power over them.
4. Deadbeat dad and probable one-termer thinks his presence before the President actually matters and needs to tell everyone (Sept 2011). The disrespect isnt that probable one term Congressman Joe Walsh (R-IL) wouldnt attend the Presidents Sept. 8 speech. The disrespect is that Rep. Walsh actually believed that everyone knowing he wasnt attending was important. That he needed to announce he would not attend on national television, as if anyone cared, was yet another delusional superiority episode. That proudly showing public disrespect towards the President is a winning strategy in some political circles reveals a lot.
5. Newt Gingrichs Kenyan anti-colonial behavior comment (Sept 2010). Even Washington Post columnist and conservative thinker George Will slammed this attempt to define the President as foreign. Never mind the facts: President Obama wasnt reared by his father in Kenya with whom he spent only a month of his 50 years on this earth. The strategy to define the President as a foreign or alien being was started by Sarah Palin in 2008.
6. One of the underlying premises of disrespect towards the President is that he can be ordered around and dictated to like hes Tipi the laundry boy. The presumption that a U.S. President can be ordered around is a new phenomenon that appears to have gotten underway around January 2009. From big mouth Congressmen to millionaires with nothing to do, you name it they all inherently believe they can order President Obama around. At least Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is an actual leader of something. Regardless, read this and ask yourself if you think this would have happened to Presidents Bush, Reagan or Clinton.
7. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer puts her finger in the Presidents face (January 2012). The photo speaks for itself. Of course there are strong political disagreements between President Obama and Gov. Brewer. But is it just possible there was a better time and place for this conversation? Brewer said she felt a little threatened by President Obama. Please.
8. GOP House, prompted by Tea Party refuses to raise debt ceiling (Aug 2011). Sounds like this was just hardball politics right? Lets review the facts: The debt ceiling had been raised 69 times since 1962 without incident. Seven times during Bush II and 18 times during Reagan. Suddenly, with President Obama, a shiny new precedent is set with regard to raising the debt ceiling. Another never before seen incident is born.
9. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Publicly Announces His Top Political Priority (Dec 2010). McConnell wants the President out of office? No news there, but, wait, theres more to it. Our top political priority over the next two years should be to deny President Obama a second term, Sen. McConnell told the Heritage Foundation. Of course the Senate Republican Leader doesnt want the President to be re-elected. But whats with the public announcement? In July 2010 McConnell acknowledged his single most important political goal: President Obama being a one-term President. Again: In public and on national television.
10. Speaker Boehner refuses speech date request (September 2011). No it is not the end of the world. Of course, the White House intentionally wanted to step on a GOP debate that same night. But, this is yet another first in American history. Once again, no one can find another instance where a President of the United States requested a date to address Congress and was refused.
All indignant insults against the most prestigious office in the world. I guess some people weren't raised right.
Archie Hackney, WW2 veteran, refused to stay seated upon meeting the President. Thank you for your service Mr. Hackney.

Damn seems like I struck some nerves with this one...
Has nothing to do with the office...everything to do with the moron occupying it.
And of course when a republican is president, it goes back to being respect for the office.
Partisan inconsistency is the bane of American politics.

The other side certainly didn't respect Bush. Think about it.

Oh so Obama's just another President like Bush was?
