so if I am white does that mean I am a racist for not respecting them?

One of the first lessons one learns in leadership is that respect is earned never given.

If people do not want to respect the POTUS that is their choice and right, however what that blogger did was rude more than anything else.

I don't have much respect for President Obama because he capitulates time and time again and refuses to fight but I would not be rude and interrupt him while he is speaking but I would, if given the chance, give him a piece of my mind.
