Analysis: Obama Denied Respect the Office Demands
Wash Informer ^ | 10/9/10 | Mike Cottman

President Barack Obama gets no respect. Even as Republicans vow to repeal Obama’s sweeping health care law leading up to the crucial mid-term elections in November, one Republican candidate, Paul LePage, says if he’s elected governor of Maine, he plans to tell Obama “Go to hell.”

LePage, who is backed by the conservative tea party movement, spoke at a Republican forum last week while stumping for votes.

“And as your governor,” LePage told the crowd, you're gonna be seeing a lot of me on the front page saying ‘Gov. LePage tells Obama to go to hell.”

Why was that kind of profanity necessary? Who knows? It’s tough talk from LePage, a Republican hothead who not only disrespects Obama with his hateful comments, but he also disrespects the Office of the President.

Because Obama is America’s first black president, there is a question about whether LePage lashed out about Obama, in part, because he’s black. Would LePage have told a white president, who was a Democrat, to “go to hell?”

What’s clear is this: There will always be ideological differences between Democrats and Republicans but the tea party’s criticism of Obama’s policies usually turn ugly.

"If this is his attitude towards the president of the United States, I can't imagine what he would say when a local legislator or constituent disagrees with him," Arden Manning, who heads the Democrats' Victory 2010 campaign, said in a statement.

LePage, like many other Republicans, is critical of Obama’s economic recovery efforts and reminds the administration that the nation’s unemployment rate is stuck at 9.5 percent.

On Monday, Obama tried to counter the GOP’s assault and announced an initiative called Skills for America’s Future, a new, industry-led plan to substantially improve industry partnerships with community colleges and build a nationwide network to create jobs.

Then there was the booing of Pres. Bush and VP Cheney on their way out of D.C. on inauguration day. I’d never even seen anything like it! That some people did it was maddening enough. That they did it in front of his Dad, Mom, daughters VP’s wife and family was completely disgusting; some of the worst show of bad manners and disrespect I’d ever seen!

I hope I never have to see it again. Come on Mr. Cott (author of article)what do you have to say about that? Come on and tell us about Mr. LePage’s bad manners and disrespect of Mr. Obama!

Oh by the way, I wasn’t saying any of that to you “Secret Agent Man”; I was referring to author of article! I hope you didn’t think I was talking to you. :^(

I like the anecdote of the Judge addressing an Atheist who wanted an “Atheist Day” to be establsihed. The Judge said that “One already exists. It is April 1st. Those who deny that God exists are ‘Fools’”

Obama IS a radical Islamic Supremacist. His “Q’uaran” the “Satanic verses”. Like the Satanic Bible,the Satanic Verses arose from the fires of Hell. Telling Obama to “go to Hell” was tantamount to telling him to GO HOME:

Obama is mixed race. He is only of partial Negroid descent. Being “Black” is no open ticket to committing fraud and treason. It does not give Obama any immunity or excuse that because he is “Black” he cannot or should not be criticized.
Obama is a traitor who happens to be part “Black”. His Caucasian and Arab sides are equally treasonous.Obama has never BEEN POTUS:
