Yeah, I suspect we're in for some not-so-pretty behavior on the part of some for the next few weeks.

A man with so little conviction that he will literally say ANYTHING because he is so desperate to become president for is own ego, rather than a desire to help anyone in this country.

Of course one can have political disagreements with a President, as we did with Bush. But the level of hatred and venom directed at Obama reveals a profound disrespect for the constitutional office of the Presidency and the democratic process that elected him.

of course bill clinton was hounded, but the level of disrespect towards obama is unprecedented. the big difference between obama and bush: obama was elected, and bush was appointed by scotus. for that reason only, bush earned the disdain of the entire world.
