I want to know why it's so "rich" that the people in this thread have expressed concern about the level of disrespect in the discourse in this country. I don't know that any of us have been disrespectful to others with differing opinions. Yes, there are rude people who have taunted President Bush from the left of the aisle, but I personally have shown respect towards President Bush in the past, despite whole heartedly disagreeing with him, because he was the president. I didn't vote for him, but he was my President because I am an American.
I honestly don't agree that the level of civility is the same. President Bush was supported by both sides of the aisle at several points in his presidency, but President Obama has gotten nothing but jeering and disrespect for everything he has put forward, even if it aligns with what the Republicans want.
I am sick of the tit for tat claims. Is it really more important to bash everything that Obama does than to consider that maybe something he says might be right?
