House Majority Leader Eric Cantor says he didn't mean any disrespect to President Barack Obama during a heated exchange that ended with the president cutting off a White House meeting.

Maybe what set Zero off was Cantor using his middle finger to scratch his chin as Zero frequently does?
AP set him up.
Oh well.
STOP with the apologies, Eric!!!!

I mean disrespect to Obama every time I say his name. The man deserves no respect from anyone.
FUBO
Just read my tagline to learn how I feel. I wish others would jump on this bandwagon.
Wow! I feel so much more confident in our country’s future, now that I know Cantor respects Obama. Had me worried there for a minute.
Well, the GOP "leaders" are innately conditioned to cave (keep in mind McConnell's attempt to undercut Boehner's negotiating position). Thus, we are conditioned to expect it, so they bear close watching. If the GOP "leadership" finally, at long last, proves otherwise... great.
I read once that was an actual exchange in an English court of law but I can’t remember who said it.
That's Obama's usual arrogant tactic of disrespecting the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives by calling him by his first name instead of his title of office.
I'm sure Cantor always calls Obama "Mr. President."

Rep. Allen West isn’t afraid of telling it like it is about Obama:
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Did you hear what Congressman Allen West said? Well, hold onto your seat. He compared President Obama to a dictator. The congressman made those remarks during a recent appearance on “The Laura Ingraham Show.” And to be specific, Congressman West said President Obama showed, quote, “third world dictator-like arrogance” during his budget speech. So what did he mean? Let’s ask him.
Congressman Allen West of Florida joins us. Good evening, Congressman. Those are pretty tough words for the president. I know you have a lot of passion about your views, but the words — any — you want a do-over on that, or you stand by those words?
REP. ALLEN WEST, R-FLA.: Good evening. Happy Easter, Greta. And I do stand by those words. And perhaps one of the things that many people need to understand is that the truth needs to be said. When I go around and I talk to people down here in my district and we get phone calls, that speech that was given last week Wednesday was absolutely beneath the statesmanship or the atmosphere or the aura of the personality that the president should show.
I am sick and tired of this class warfare, this Marxist, demagogic rhetoric that is coming from the President of the United States of America. It is not helpful for this country and it’s not going to move the ball forward as far as rectifying the economic situation in our country. And I’m not going to back away from telling what the truth is.
I find it hard not to spit every time I utter the name of that usurping POS.
How about somebody in DC apologizing to the American taxpayers....we ARE the ones flipping the bill for this lunacy.
He said he did not mean any disrespect, it is not even close to an apology.
Why would you believe it a good thing for anyone to deliberately show disrespect for POTUS. That sort of crap is reserved for the Left and I do not believe it serves us to lower ourselves to their low level.
Palin-West would be a great team.
Is EVERY GOP leader a gutless wimp? Obviously so.
No apologies ! We are adults now, let’s just do what is right and stand firm!

Sounds like Churchill. My favorite:
