I consider Senator Obama to be unqualified until he proves he is a natural-born citizen. The secretaries of state and various judges can demur, but I will not. When he shows he is qualified instead of fighting and avoiding the question, then I will refer to him as president. My respect is earned, not given automatically.
LOL! I notice our spell check still does not recopgnize the word Obama.

Unless you revoke your citizenship, you are an American and your President elect is Obama. He will be your President. The Dems hated Bush and he was their President too, whether they cried about it or not. One side wins, one side loses, get over it. To blather on He’s not my President is so damn juvenile it makes my 7 year old look mature when he goes into meltdown over a lost board game.
Yes, this was a big stakes election. Yes we lost. Yes the next 4 years may very well suck and have changes we detest. But life goes on. Just like I tell my 7 year old.
So whine or cry a little more and get it out of your system. He’s your President elect and that is a simple statement of fact at this point in time. You certainly don’t have to like it, but my God, deal with it. Or are we going to take our ball and run home crying to mommy because we didn’t win the game? Sheesh.

Hmmmm... this one is very difficult.
I was in the military, and we were taught we salute the uniform, not the man. So I respect the office, not the man.
However, I am adopting a wait and see. If Obama governs as if he cares about America, even if we disagree, I can accept that. If Obama governs as I expect, like a Manchurian candidate who is bent on America’s deconstruction, that is when he will disqualify himself as being my president.

I agree. But we need to emphasize.
As the liberals have said for the last eight years... "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism." Let's all get patriotic!!! Impeach Obama!!!

"George W. Bush is "my" president until January 20. When 0bama becomes the president, he will be the president, but not really "my" president, because he didn't get my vote.
I viewed Clinton the same way - he was the president, but not "my" president. I respect the office, but not necessarily the man."
That is how I see it, as well.
To: NoRedTape
He will be the President and CIC for my brothers and sisters who still wear the uniform . Based on his record he will accomplish nothing . According to Joe the 5 term Senator the first thing he will do is screw up .

When sworn in on January 20th, he will be.
Doesn’t mean I have to like it.
Lacking any proof of inelegibility persuasive to a judge (COLB detractors, the ball is in YOUR court), he will be the legitimate occupant of the office of POTUS, with all the power and responsibility and privileges that go therewith.
“I don’t like him” does not make him not my - or your - President.
The office of President exists regardless of who is in it.
Respect the office, if not the occupant.
Suck it up, get used to the phrase “President Obama”, and cope.
“He’s not my President” is symptomatic of Obama Derangement Syndrome (and is no less idiodic/debilitating than Bush or Palin Derangement Syndrome).

I am a US citizen. Obama is president elect of the US. That makes him my president. Because he is my president, I have the right, until further notice, to criticize his actions and ideology.

He will be every bit as much “my” president as President Bush was to the Democrats.
You can take what you want from that.

Grow up. He was elected to assume the office of President of the United States. You are a citizen of the United States. Therefore, he is your president.
Unless you’re not a citizen.
Nobody is saying you have to like it. But to deny the existence of the relationship is delusional and illogical.

He is president-elect. I accept it. I dont have to like it. Ditto. I accept it like I do my yearly prostate exam and my decadal colonoscopy.
To: FreedomFerret
and your President elect is ObamaFalse. He's not 'President elect' until the electors vote.
