From the aptly named “Fifth Column.”

He repeatedly violates his oath of office to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. He promotes policies in opposition to public opinion. He refuses to uphold enacted laws.

This we are supposed to respect? He ought to be impeached and removed from office. Afterwards, he ought to be tried for crimes.

Is there a t-shirt available with that image? I’d love to strut that down the mean streets of Seattle. LOL

I respect the office George Washington once held.

But my dad always told me that you have no automatic right to respect, that it has to be earned.

Same goes for the president of the United States.

"He talks rather disrespectful of GW Bush."

I have never known a president to speak so scornfully of his predecessor than Obama has. He has shown NO class.

There was a time when America had a president, and I miss that time. There was a time when the person in the White House loved America and was proud of protecting the Constitution, and I miss that time. This is a far different time, and the restraint shown by patriotic Americans is impressive.

“Suddenly.....”?

No, this is very offensive criticism. He was given every break, every benefit of the doubt, every move the goalposts, every forgive blatant and deadly scandals which blew billions and billions of taxpayer money....and he used the elbow room to lie to the American people to their detriment in many many ways, and thrash long-established foreign alliances with results that are truly dangerous. There’s nothing to show for the angst he has put the people through. He exhibits relentless contempt for the American people. And he has championed setting back race relations by 60 years.

He has worn out his welcome quite a few times over on any conceivable basis and earned scorn for a virtually uninterrupted string of incompetencies.

This clown should consider himself lucky for they have a real leader up in Canada in Stephen Harper.

The man is being challenged unfairly, characterized with vulgarity and treated with the kind of deep disrespect to which no previous president was subjected.

The author can't remember all the way back to the Bush administration? "Chimpy McBushitler"?

There is no requirement that any American tender respect to one so clearly in contempt for the country, for the office, and for himself. This was a man vaulted into a prominence he had not earned with qualifications he did not have, a man who has methodically torn the country apart racially and is attempting to do so economically as well. This is a two-bit Mussolini awed by his own reflection in the mirror of fawning and sycophantic media, hypnotized by the sound of his own voice parroting the idiot homilies glaring at him from a teleprompter, devoid of accomplishment, executive skills, any intellectual attainment whatever. He is held in justified contempt by his international counterparts, his all-too-loyal political opposition, and his own party. He is arrogant, noisy, self-righteous, immature, and has the verbal acuity of an eight-year-old. He is vicious, hypocritical, filthy and corrupt, an airborne murderer wearing a Nobel Peace Prize, a miserable dilettante whose golf clubs most resemble Nero's lyre, the principal difference between the two being that Nero actually did try to put out Rome in flames where 0bama is throwing gasoline on his. He is vain, narcissistic, possessed of an ego puffed up to Hindenburg dimensions by his emanations of noxious gas. He is the one we've been waiting for if what we've been waiting for is a captain for a careening garbage scow to Hell.

But that doesn't mean I disrespect him.

Thanks for saving me the time to post exactly what you did. I have heard Rush mention several times now about how the media twists those words of Rush’s the same way this Canadian author did.

Suddenly President Barack Obama, with the potential to become an exceptional president has become the glaring exception to that unwritten, patriotic rule.

I guess Chimpy McHitler didn't count as a president. (Or, to be fair, the 'toon for that matter.)

Biggest problem: Obama is not acting like the President of all the American people. He’s acting like the head of the Democrat Party, and that’s it. He’s the most partisan and poisonous President that we’ve ever had, and had moved this nation closer to a banana republic than ever before due to his disregard of the rule of law.

Well, he is exceptional, but not in a positive way.
