HE SEEMS TO BE TRYING TO DO A TWO FOR ONE WITH A BACKHAND SLAP...

Yet, apparently, this year's crop of candidates would rather have the jolly, gregarious Bill Clinton stumping for them than the White House's current occupant. One thing you have to say for Bill Clinton: He never came off as "holier than Thou."

Maybe it's the President's unfortunate tendency to talk down to the American people. He tends to say they cling to their guns and their religion. He thinks they're not thinking straight if they oppose his policies. They tend not to be rational when they're afraid. Barack Obama talks about us as if he wishes he could elect a new people.

I'd like to see more respect for the Office of President. But I have one word of advice for the current occupant: respect: It's what you have to have in order to get.

1. Go do some research on who wrote this and their ulterior

motives. I know you can.

[butterfly77]

11. I know full well who the author is..

and he is full of shit. I don't have to do any research on this hypocritical asshole.

[movonne]

2. In other words people are so stupid that our president as to talk

like a hillbilly...

[Kdillard]

3. Apparently.

[butterfly77]

12. That last sentence is what I was getting at..

Who in the hell is Blackwell to tell the President about respect. Projecting the shit they do.

He has some nerve with all of the disrespect he and all of his teabagging buddies have shown our President..

[AndrewP]

21. The hypocrisy is amazing, isn't it? n/t

[jaxx]

4. Family Research Council?

Hell Blackwell's just a fundie with a morals problem. He's throwing a tantrum and gets to have it printed. The Dobson brigade don't like black folks or gay folks, they like bigots.

[phleshdef]

5. Um, this is by Blackwell... screwed the Ohio elections 04 and compared gay people to farm animals...

...not sure this is who you want to be posting.

[CakeGrrl]

6. The "House Negro" is trying to play the "Uppity Negro" card.

:crazy:

[denimgirly]

7. LIttle Biased, dontcha think?

I'm no fan of Obama but com'on this is clearly bullshit. Obama can still draw massive crowds, even if i have lost interest in attending.

[butterfly77]

10. That is why I posted it..

because he is full of shit..

[angee_is_mad]

8. only huffNpuff would post

this bullshit hit piece on the POTUS.
Hope the progressives realize that huffingtonpost is not a progressive blog and they HATE the POTUS.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

9. Exactly. I've been screaming this from the rooftops for quite some time now...

...and as for "talking down" to people, you have to wonder how old the OP is. Bill Clinton has always had a temper, first. But, more recently, his behavior during the primaries was unconscionable, especially in South Carolina.

But as someone said, it's the "Uppity Negro" who has forgotten his place. Subtle or not, this is all about race and the continued efforts by the M$M to split and demoralize the Democratic Party.

It's up to us not to listen and to stop posting this divisive bullshit on DU.

Just sayin'///

[butterfly77]

13. The OP is Blackwell..

I posted the last part of his article..

[Milo_Bloom]

14. How DARE they post something you don't like.

They should obviously submit all their material to a liberal think tank for approval before posting.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

15. NO! That's not the point and you know this! The point is that it is divisive dribble!

Not needed a week before an important lesson.

And definitely not needed to create further division and arguments on DU.

[Milo_Bloom]

17. Exactly. How dare they not follow the agenda you want!

Everyone knows the world is to be divided into liberal and conservative sources and they must strictly follow the guidelines set forth by the council of elders!

[butterfly77]

19. Agreed..

[Hekate]

16. Butterfly, are you missing some quotation marks or did you just write that yourself?

One is sloppy reporting on your part, but the other is absolutely indefensible.

In fact, both are indefensible because the source is Ken Blackwell of the Family Research Council, and if you are quoting him without the attributive quote marks and without comments of your own, you are saying you agree with what is being said.

Help us out here.

[butterfly77]

20. Evidently,you got the point..

[lunatica]

18. Sorry, but whoever wrote that is full of crap

[DailyGrind51]

22. Mike Dukakis and John Kerry had the same problem with "plain folk".

Carter and Clinton both understood average working people and spoke "with", not "to" them.
