Write all you want about what an evil toad Bush or Obama was/is (although it is useful to occasionally fact check the accusations, which apparently the Representative from SC did not bother to do), but when any President addresses both Houses of Congress, let that person speak. THEN villify him if you must, in print, on your soapbox, wherever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558669846298144145.post-41822176133278354242009-09-10T10:50:18.363-04:002009-09-10T10:50:18.363-04:00There was whole movie made about the assassination...There was whole movie made about the assassination of G.W. Books were written about it. In Oregon, his motorcade was attacked. I think it is a problem, but not a new one. In 2005 Bush was booed during the STOU speech, was regularly called a liar and still is. It doesn't make it right now, but it's a little off putting to now try and claim the high ground when the democrats have been wallowing in the mud for so long.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558669846298144145.post-90280420539834987762009-09-09T22:23:48.768-04:002009-09-09T22:23:48.768-04:00Sorry.

Complaining in 1991 about the undeniable political quality of a speech to schoolchildren AFTER THE SPEECH WAS GIVEN is very different from condemning a speech that no one has yet heard or read. It is possible to condemn the man but respect the office. Barack Obama faces four times more death threats daily than GW Bush did. If you don't think that's a problem--for our nation and for our democracy--there's something really wrong.KAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003077552609056100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558669846298144145.post-33998461747252942682009-09-09T19:11:54.136-04:002009-09-09T19:11:54.136-04:00You can't degrade the office for 8 years and n...You can't degrade the office for 8 years and now expect people to turn it around overnight. When G.H.W. Bush gave a similar speech, democrats held hearings, investigations. For 8 years of G.W. Bush, idiot, monkey, etc. were thrown around to giggles by democrats. Were those policy differences?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
