17. I'd think Republicans would at least respect Obama for what he did today

the way a lot of liberals may have respected Santorum for being consistent and true to his ideals (while vomiting over the substance of those ideals). Obama took a risk today and stuck his neck out on a controversial issue. This is something Romney simply cannot bring himself to do. It's what right wingers hate in Romney. I'd think that while they're hating on Obama, right wingers still have to give him respect for being a better man than their current candidate.
