While I agree that he is the president and deserves our respect, I suggest that that is a 2 way street. I don't take kindly to being called names by him. We could also use your above statement to relate to Social Security reform. Why did he abandon that when the Democrats protested? Now when his base protests he calls us names.
Well that is factually nonsense on two counts. He never called you any names. You merely don't like hearing what he had to say to you. Then there is the fact the President had not backed off on SS reform. The Congressional leadership told him they were not going to move it forward. There is nothing a President can do once his Congressional Leadership tells him they cannot muster the numbers for him.
Curious which activist group is sending out the blast email with this talking point? I keep hearing it all over the place on the 'Net. Factually it nonsense. Also, the President has used the same rhetoric against the Democrats over Iraq. I suppose like most Ultra Conservatives you were too busy calling him "Jorge El Busho" to hear him. Kind of funny for people who spent the last 6 years doing nothing but scream bile at the President demand he show them respect!
Yes, it is a two way street for for years now the Ultras have merely rushed from issue to issue to whine at the President. Small wonder he finally quit wasting his time catering to your egos since he never got anything for his troubles.
On Judges alone this President has done far more good for the future of the Conservative movement then all the screaming lunatics in the "Conservative" Media Establishment ever will. Yet the screaming voices coming out of the radio have gotten far more respect from the 100%ers in the Conservative movement then they EVER extended to this President.
