President Barack Obama gets no respect. Even as Republicans vow to repeal Obamas sweeping health care law leading up to the crucial mid-term elections in November, one Republican candidate, Paul LePage, says if hes 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? Its 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 Americas first black president, there is a question about whether LePage lashed out about Obama, in part, because hes black. Would LePage have told a white president, who was a Democrat, to go to hell?
Whats clear is this: There will always be ideological differences between Democrats and Republicans but the tea partys criticism of Obamas 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 Obamas economic recovery efforts and reminds the administration that the nations unemployment rate is stuck at 9.5 percent.
On Monday, Obama tried to counter the GOPs assault and announced an initiative called Skills for Americas Future, a new, industry-led plan to substantially improve industry partnerships with community colleges and build a nationwide network to create jobs.

What is the problem Cottman? Obama gets the same respect from the right as the left gave to Bush. So stop your whining already. Oh, I forgot, your are a liberal.....you can’t stop whining......
We respected Johnson, only to watch Hillary and her gang of thugs destroy Nixon. We respected Carter only to watch them mock and ridicule Reagan for 8 years. We respected Clinton only to watch him get blow jobs from 18 year old interns and hear of rape accusations all day long, and Ken Starr was the bad guy. Then we watched George Soros lead the Communists to destroy Bush for 8 years and then finally the American economy and install this communist asshole in office. Respect? Obama is the ENEMY of the American Constitution.
Obama is a lousy stinking Communist thug who should be up against the wall. He deserves no respect.
Where’s the MEGABARF alert?
The HURL-TILL-YOU-CURL alert?
The HEAVE-TILL-YOU’RE-DRY alert?
Obama disrespects the office and the people...
The left took 9 full years to teach us that the correct way to speak of the President was to use derogatory words, and that we must modify any picture so that he looked like a chimpanzee.
” Wheres the MEGABARF alert? “
Actually, all this limp-wristed rehash of old NAACP/DNC talking (whining) points deserves is a lower-case “lol alert”......
***”To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ***
PERFECT!
Perhaps he should have thought out the consequences of his plans. The disaster he caused was 100% predictable.
I wonder if Mike Cottman finds it hard to breathe with his head up his @$$ all the time?
Obama himself disrespects the office more than anyone else.
Why do I have to respect liars who steal from me?
But disrespecting a Republican President is not disrespecting the Office of the President?
Because Obama is Americas first black president, there is a question about whether LePage lashed out about Obama, in part, because hes black.
Obama is 'black'? I didn't know that. That never appeared in the context of any of the candidates comments.
Would LePage have told a white president, who was a Democrat, to go to hell?
Not just LePage, but a whole lot of people told Bill Clinton to go to hell. Conversely, a lot of people told President Bush to go to hell, and many of them are in the MSM and Democratic Party Leadership. Reid, Pelosi, Frank.
Whats clear is this: There will always be ideological differences between Democrats and Republicans but the tea partys criticism of Obamas policies usually turn ugly.
That's because the policies are ugly. We only attack bad policy. We criticize the President for his choice of bad policy. We'd support him if he chose something that made sense.
When Bill Clinton was a coward and got his wife to push govt healthcare down out throats, we told both of them to go to hell. Politicians don’t deserve respect when they forget who they are working for.
I mean, the press and the opposition party never said anything disrespectful about President Bush during his two terms. Never, ever.
So, it's quite clear that there's some racism going on.

The world is a smaller place since he passed...

Exactly how much “respect” did the Dims give to Bush!!!
