I did not agree with my brothers and sister fighting and losing their lives in Iraq, but I supported the war in Afghanistan. I did not like Bush as a person, but I have and will always, as long as I have breath in my body support the Office of the President. As I have said before; “The president is not a man, but the office, and even if you don’t like the man, respect the office”.

I know that was off topic, but I said that to introduce this.

Its is OK as an American to disagree with the President’s Policies. It is OK to disagree with the President’s Decisions. BUT!!!! Where is the respect for the office. Has anyone ever heard of the word tactful?? “Having or showing a sense of what is fitting and considerate in dealing with others”. There is a right way and a wrong way of doing things. I place the first set of blame on The GOP congressman from South Carolina who blatantly disrespected the Office of the President and shouted out during President Obama’s health care address “You Lie”. People now think… If Congress doesn’t respect the office… Why should we?

Thank you James for your Blog and doing things the right and tactful.

However, the president’s policy is not one of encouraging an Iranian nuclear weapon, or of doing nothing to stop it. He has, among other steps, tightened U.S. sanctions and worked to strengthen international sanctions. So I don’t see how you can claim that he secretly supports Iran.

I just don’t know what to make of your bizarre belief that our president is secretly a Muslim, despite having practiced Christianity all these years. Do you believe that’s all been an elaborate deception on his part, dating back to his youth? To what end? What would he gain, and why would it matter if he were Muslim?

Would you accuse George W. Bush, or John McCain, or Sarah Palin, of being secretly Muslim? If not, why not? Why shouldn’t we believe that this reflects some prejudice on your part towards those who are not of purely European descent (as well as towards Muslims, of course)? What else would cause you to suspect this particular president of being secretly of another faith, other than his ancestry?

Thomas, I prefer accurate spelling, as well, but I think it’s important to try to avoid personal criticism in discussing difficult issues like these.
