What do you call someone who calls for civiity

and then proceeds to call any opposition the names? Mr. President, that's what you call him. I am getting tired of our dear leader speaking out of both sides of his mouth and flapping his tongue at both ends. He demands that we not use 'violent' language, then says, "they bring a knife, we bring a gun." He demands that we be civil and stop the name calling, then says Republicans are akin to flat earthers, who would have called for banning space travel. He once against rails against labeling people, then talks about the rubes of the south. Why can't everyone see he is not sincere about anything he says, unless he wants to push through another progam that removes our freedoms, or degrades his country and its people like when he apologizes to the world for the horrible America? Unless his followers believe the same drivel he spouts, I can't see why they still follow him at all. What do you think about what he says as opposed to what he does?

I was going to say a politician! It seems like anymore electing an officer to run our country we are selecting the lesser of evils. We are ruled and regulated beyond belief. It's like we were small children again and the politicians are our parents. As I was taking my pain medication this morning so I could make it from the bedroom to the kitchen so I could feed my critters, I again was damning the politicians who helped pass the law limiting the amount of pain medication I can get each month. I feel like I was five years old again. One fun thing I do when I happen to listen to a debate on TV. I don't watch the participants, I listen. You will find that their body language masks what they are saying. It's a great lie detector! Mom turned me on to that many years ago. If you want to know if a person is lying, don't look at them as they talk. Not one of them will tell you the truth if it reared up and bit them in their A$$! They are only going to say what they think you want to hear, then when they get into office their tune changes a LOT! It's the name calling that starts wars. It is the involvement in other countries business that gives America such a bad name. Not so much the Americans as a public but the Americans that are the politicians. Plus, what example does America make when the people are starving and homeless, yet we go world wide and help their starving and homeless. I would love for Mr. President live the lives that you and I are living. I start to wrap myself in self pity when I hurt so badly then I think of the love of your life...and I am ashamed. I would love for that "man" to see what the normal people of his country are going through. He needs to hear things like what you said and realize that as a leader of the nation he needs to change his attitude. If attitudes and languages don't change we are looking at WW111!!!! I work the elections and we aren't allowed to voice opinions in the polling place, but I was very disappointed in the fact that he got elected, but then again look at the choices. I usually think to myself that the people that get into office are those that couldn't hold down a normal job such as flipping burgers at McDonalds, pumping gas, collecting trash, cleaning toilets and being a cashier. How are you doing by the way?

Ah, dear one, our politicians could not survive living our lives. I do think, however, that before anyone runs for office, they should have to relinquish all the better things in life and live normally for three years. By normally, I mean have our insurances, live on subpar wages, be in pain like yours without benefit of medications for relief, lose their jobs and be unable to get another and have no savings in hand to get them through. Maybe then they would have some inkling of what the people they are supposed to serve go through. We hire millionaires and people who have lived above the rest and expect them to have a clue what we go through. Alas, we get what we vote for. How would you go about starting a write-in campaign and having the whole USA vote for that person? Frankly, I would like to put in None of the Above and see if we could get everyone to vote for that! Whatever happened to the Abe Lincolns from log cabins. That was a simpler time when real leaders were born. We are doing fair yesterday and today. Hubby actually ate something for a change. He's not mending by any means and sleeps way too much, but he does smile when he wakes. Hugs, Maggie

By the way, say what they will about the Presidents Bush, those men were gentlemen who never spoke ill of their predecessors or blamed everyone else for their problems. They did not degrade the other party and tried their darnedest to work with them, but the hate on that side would not allow them in. The things they accomplished were not always the right thing, but they tried to include everyone and were trounced by the left without mercy.

I can't see anything wrong with 'what he says,' which is ALL he does! If people take his 'bad ideas' (which I'm not paying enough attention to hear) and run with them, it's NOT HIS FAULT!

The President has his followers who believe he could make a difference. You cannot blame them for believing him. We just have different opinions about things and they happen to believe him. Being a President is not an easy job. I could not recall any President who do not have any critics. Presidents cannot just please everybody.
