I don't think he's abusing the site.

During Bush's first term, people like me took a lot of abuse from Bush supporters who sounded just like that, and I do not like to hear it repeated now that "my guy" is in office. I wouldn't have liked it even if I hadn't taken it from others. A great thing about America is that there is very little disgrace in a private citizen insulting a President. To do so is to exercise an essential right.

Don't ever forget that, for your own sake.

It IS American to say whatever we want. Whatever. That's precisely what one of America's greatest glories is: our founders knew that a nation could be strong enough to handle free exchange of ideas. Indeed, the unrestricted exchange of ideas is precisely WHY we have always been so strong. I can disrespect Bush ALL I WANT, and in fact it is my distinctly American right to do so, just as it is anyone else's right to disrespect Obama. Please, DO disrespect politicians if you have reason to.

Really, when did this happen?

I hear he also uses a teleprompter! Like GWB didn't have 500 people with him too?

" Seems to me like at the very foundation of America was the refusal to revere much of anything (e.g., royalty, aristocracy), and I think that's beautiful. I don't think "reverence" belongs on a list of American values.

You know, I disagreed with authority a lot in 2002 and 2003, and shared my opinion, a whole lot of "conservatives" certainly did suggest that people like me were "un-American." I'm still angry about it, and you all should be, too.

Imagine how much stronger we would be if we had not entered that disastrously ill-conceived misadventure. It's pretty shameful when people feel "populist anger" only over money, and not over sowing destruction in a country that had not harmed us.
