Dictators always expect respect...or they’’l “take care of you”.

[Revolting cat!]

Office. What's to respect in it?

[kenmcg]

The Kenyan has no respect for America or its people. Just because he was elected by a bunch of illiterate know-nothings doesn’t mean we have to respect him or the office he holds.

[Diogenesis]

Real Americans automatically show respect for the flag.

Impostors from Indonesia working for al Qaeda?
Not so much.

[Kenton]

Oh, I respect the office, but not that jug-eared baboon Obama, because HE does not respect the office.

[cripplecreek]

I respect the office just as much as the man who occupies it does.

The building is the only thing worthy of unwavering respect.

[Secret Agent Man]

The “president” can’t even spell “respect”.

[trisham]

I don’t respect enemies of the Constitution.

[Darren McCarty]

I don’t respect the office. The office hasn’t done much in my lifetime to earn my respect.

[EricT.]

I don’t respect ANY politician or the office they hold. Nobody should ever respect someone who desires to hold power over others and the means for giving them that power.

"I'm sure the President had much on his agenda and was just a little tired," Franklin told E! News. "However, spelling and giving it, is a huge difference. The President and I are mutual when it comes to R-E-S-P-E-C-T."

[Doogle]

..if the so called president doesn’t rs...ah errr. R E P T....errrr ahh...I ...ahhhh...

[ZULU]

Office holders should be treated as servants, not overlords.

They should serve US, the people, who pay their salaries.

Hillary’s spelling song: Tammy Wynette’s D-I-V-O-R-C-E.

[TalBlack]

If he occupant has no respect for the office then no one else can.

[Vinylly]

‘Respect’ How do you spell respect? How can we respect a president when we don’t have any?

[publius911]

It brought to my mind that one of the most popular refrains one hears from the media is that we should “respect the office” of the President. Like any slogan or piece of propaganda that is repeated incessantly, you nod and agree. But why?

Somebody somewhere might nod and agree, specially the ignorant illiterates, I sure don't.

Without exception, respect must always be earned. Otherwise it becomes fear, a whole different relationship.

[windsorknot]

Why do the other branches of government allow the current occupier of the office to usurp their power and authority?

[workerbee]

Well, I must disagree, to a point. The office (that is, the position) of the presidency does deserve respect. However, it is the president himself who is most responsible for respecting it! And the problem is, the current occupant has defiled it so badly and so flagrantly, that it's almost impossible to separate the office -- its historical importance and dignity -- from the person. Yet another reason I despise him and (figuratively) spit in his face.
