"America, He's your president of goodness sake.....

[caty]

I just received this in an email, passed it on to my email friends, and thought you would like to read it. From a Canadian online magazine:



"There was a time not so long ago when Americans, regardless of their political stripes, rallied round their president. Once elected, the man who won the White House was no longer viewed as a republican or democrat, but the President of the United States. The oath of office was taken, the wagons were circled around the country’s borders and it was America versus the rest of the world with the president of all the people at the helm.

Suddenly President Barack Obama, with the potential to become an exceptional president has become the glaring exception to that unwritten, patriotic rule.

Four days before President Obama’s inauguration, before he officially took charge of the American government, Rush Limbaugh boasted publicly that he hoped the president would fail. Of course, when the president fails the country flounders. Wishing harm upon your country in order to further your own narrow political views is selfish, sinister and a tad treasonous as well."

1. Right wingers are the epitome of hypocrisy

It was treason to question Bush but it's fine to question Obama.

I like the point about Limpballs - he's wishing bad things on others just so he can be right.

2. Complete bullshit from someone who apparently never paid attention

to this or many other forums during W's regime.

3. I never considered Bush my President and I sure as hell didn't rally around him!
