The 10 (11?) worse moments of disrespect towards President Obama [View all]
Granted, these moments occurred from 2009 to 2012. Can we add more for 2013 and 2014?
(There are two "4s" on this list)--
1. The birther fiasco (2009-2011).
2. “You lie” (Sept. 2009).
3. Signs of the Tea Party (July 2010) and Naked Racism (April 2011).
4. Donald “unchecked ego” Trump inflames birther fiasco, media assists (April 2011).
4. Deadbeat dad and probable one-termer thinks his presence before the President actually matters and needs to tell everyone (Sept 2011).
5. Newt Gingrich’s “Kenyan anti-colonial behavior” comment (Sept 2010).
6. One of the underlying premises of disrespect towards the President is that he can be ordered around and dictated to like he’s Tipi the laundry boy. The presumption that a U.S. President can be ordered around is a new phenomenon that appears to have gotten underway around January 2009.
7. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer puts her finger in the President’s face (January 2012).
8. GOP House, prompted by Tea Party — refuses to raise debt ceiling (Aug 2011).
9. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Publicly Announces His Top Political Priority (Dec 2010). (McConnell wants the President out of office?)
10. Speaker Boehner refuses speech date request (September 2011).
