The reason they are so angry is that they know the reporter asked a valid question. A question that will come back to bite our President in the butt.
That being said, I agree that the President deserves respect. The problem is, how do you show him respect when he just illegally bypassed the Congress, therefore showing them disrespect?
Well, the presidency certainly deserves respect. The president? Nah.
I was channel surfing last night while my wife was outside watering (we’re in early drought conditions here in Northern Illinois). She wanted to watch Undercover Boss when she came back in, and I was trying to find something to watch in the meantime. Settled on O’Reilly.
Bad decision. He had Lou Dobbs on, and was bloviating on how the reporter was wrong, you have to respect the president. It’s what the press pool does. Well, that’s the problem. We’ve gotten into the meme where respect comes first (especially when it’s a democrat president), objectivity second. As for me, I think it’s time we use a little disrespect toward the person who’s tearing down the fabric of this country. He’s gone beyond civility, beyond legalities, beyond being OUR president. He deserves nothing but contempt.
As for O’Reilly, I think It’ll be another couple of years before I tune in again. Maybe even longer this time...
I have not respected a President since President Ron Reagan. Yes, that included the Bush family.
I am amazed that no one has pointed out to him that the “age group” of illegals that he wants to award with a free pass is the same group of folks that just a couple of years ago were protesting our core valuse. The same group of folks that caused schools to take action against American citizens for displaying an American Flag. The same age group that supports La Raza’s dream of taking over our entire southwest and re-incorporating that land to Mexico.
Or, maybe BO already knows all that....
