You seem to think the president (any president) is to be shielded to criticism simply because he is the president. As I said, that is the arguement of any two-bit dictator around the world. There is no free democracy in the world that bans criticism of the head of state. To list a few that do; North Korea, China, Syria, Cuba, Myanmar, Burma are all places where it is illegal to criticize the Head of State. Do you really want us to join their company? How much of a 'free country' would we be if we did? Do you really think you can keep a free democracy by silencing political dissent? I'm sorry to say that you have no clue how democracy really works.

But if you really are after people desrespecting the Office of President then you should start with George W Bush. I am not talking about his policies. I'm talking about how he acts as the President. For example, his ignoring of the system of checks and balances, by his contempt of the US Constitution, and for the disregard he holds for Congress and U.S and International Law, I think he is an absolute disgrace.
