Heard he was giving speeches on jobs being outsourced to other countries, while traveling in that bus, that was made in Canada.

The Chinese guy had a lot more poise, class and dignity.

And he wasn't making some rude and childish gesture like an ignorant high school student.

I want Obama gone more than anyone, but the guy in the picture certainly does NOT represent me.

Tell us how you really feel about the pres.

Well, you're one of the few he doesn't, unless of course you're loving Obammy.

This juvenile behavior is no different than anything he's done, especially after SB1070 in SCOTUS was ruled. He threw a tantrum and suspended any 287g powers only in the state of AZ.

This picture tells the story of what millions of us would do and say to Obama.

Have a great gun carryin' Kenpo day

No, it doesn't!

The overwhelming majority of people who do not like or support Obama in any way would be mature and respectful to him if they ever met him face to face.

I literally dispise that half breed socialist bastard, but he is the president of the United States and the "office" of the president deserves respect, regardless of who occupies that position.

That photograph says more about the childishness, immaturity and arrogance of that man, than it will ever say about the shortcomings and failures of Obama.

Sure it does, Obama gave everybody, and presumably you too, the bird by stuffing a bunch of leftist crap legislation down the throats of the majority.

Obamacare and the Arizona Immigration legislation readily come to mind.

I think the gesture is very appropriate given the circumstances. I also look forward to flipping that asshat off in November.

Just like in the movie, "Back To The Future", when the nerdy guy was informed there is a definite time to swear, and by God, this is it!

I agree with that sentiment completely.......we've reached the point where the appropriate response is anger and indignity......we can leave the poise and grace for the right person who will lead the patriots into the future. That's where it belongs.

The man in the bus is destroying everything good and right about America. If we lose it.......well, you know what it took for our founding fathers to get it for us! I damn sure don't want our sons and daughters spilling their blood to get the freedoms they once had, and to have government by and for the people.......

The man speaks for me, as well.

I hope he can see this because I'm doing it as hard as I can.

WOW....BS!
I post very, very rarely...but this merits comment.
A mature, intelligent adult does not "respect" a position....they respect the PERSON in that position (if they are worthy of respect).
The president is not a "king", demanding "respect" from the peasantry (although HE trys).... he is in an elected position that the majority of American people (unfortunately) "allowed" him to occupy.
I pay hommage to no man.
If the PERSON deserves my respect, I give it.

OK, tell the truth.

If you had the chance to meet face to face with Barack Obama, would you shoot him the bird or cuss him out and call him names?

No....I would tell him that I feel he is doing a terrible job, and pray he is replaced before more harm comes to the country.

JUST like I once said to a Governor here in AZ years ago, FTF.

I would certainly let my disgust be known, just in a more articulate way than flippin' the bird.
I do empathize with people that can only muster a "bird" or "cussin'" as THEIR response to the disgust they feel....but I choose a different route. And if in his presence, his POSITION will not keep me quiet.

***TheJ*** · 07-08-2012, 10:23

The pic is funny but bad form. Although I believe the guy in it has every right to his free speech and I probably feel the same way towards the current president, I just think is disrespectful to the office.

I look at it quite differently. We certainly have no monarchy here in the USA but we are not some banana republic either. Respecting the office is not and should not be a legal requirement but failing to do so shows a lack of class IMHO. There are plenty of other ways to articulate a point.

I beg to differ.

Thats the beauty of our country......you CAN look at things quite differently, and I RESPECT your opinion, just like I RESPECT the "flippers'" right to "flip".

I WILL NOT "respect" any "office/position".

If you read my post after the one you quoted...you would see that I wouldn't have shown my disgust in that fashion either.

BUT, I AM glad that the guy expressed his feelings in the best way he knew.... at the moment he had. At least he proved not to be a hero worshipper....like so many people turn into, even when in the midst of someone of power they dislike.

If everyone that couln't get close enough to verbally articulate their feelings did what he did...just think how much media coverage of the road trips would be unusable.
Think the news would show footage of him rolling into town after town with the people "flippin'" him and yelling obscenities?

Funny thing....many people would probably "disapprove" of the "flippin'"....but yet beat their chest in another thread about "takin' up arms" against the tyranical .gov

Berto · 07-08-2012, 11:14

I wouldn't flip someone something that I'm not willing to say to their face.
As much as I want Obama out in Nov, I would use to opportunity to show a better side, were I ever to actually meet the man.
