Why do people keep wanting to disrespect our 1st Black President?

Disrespect him? HOW? By slandering the President of the United states by purposefully misspelling his name implying that he is a looser, a big fat zero, a nobody.

The President's last name is not Zero Bama that is 0bama,

BUT,

Obama. Can you understand that? I do not read you doing such things to the President before. And he, Chaney, and Rumsfeld got us in this

MESS,

of a war we are in, as well as other things to put it mildly. So

BACK OFF,

our President. You need to pray for him

NOT,

slander and ridicule him;

GOT THAT?

Where were you when Bush was ridiculed and blamed for everything? I think Obama's policies suck and believe that he is ruining my country...the same country that I have free speech in. I will say what I want about 0bama, and when I want. GOT THAT?

Because he's doing a poor job as president. He doesn't get extra "respect" points because he's the first black president. He has to earn the respect just like everyone else. He started out with considerable respect and pissed it away. That's why his approval rating index has fallen from a +30 to a -8 in a matter of 6 months.

There's no affirmative action in the office of president, nor should there be. He is being held to the same standards as every other president. Playing the race card so much at this point is making you apologists look desperate.

So stop crying about it. If he wants respect, he better start earning it. In the meantime, I'll pray for the country, not 0bama

The reason some people do that is because they don't understand that america is a FREE country! Some people are cruel and have no respect for others, just because he is black does not make him better or worse than white people, natives, hispanic, and many more people our country kindly lets in. Now no matter what anybody says these heartless people wont stop saying this bull****, they already know what they are saying is wrong. America also fought so that we can have the freedom of speech but why about the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES? no one knows.

I agree with the person who said "It's about public policy that defies economic and universal common-sense that ultimately moves to reignite class warfare" Its about the lack of common sense being used by our leaders in this country right now. While I think it is childish to call names and disrespect people can you honestly say we are any better off now then we were a year ago? The president isn't the only one accountable which is why it never made sense that everyone busted bush's balls. The economy still sucks, our national debt has at least tripled and none of that is bush's fault! Its everyones fault! This country needs to get over the blaming and name calling and get down to fixing the problems together.
