Why is Oprah Shocked That President Obama Gets No R-E-S-P-E-C-T?

So oprah is upset that entire Country isn't as in love with obama as she is? obama has absolutely no respect for the office of the president. He proves every day in some new way that he doesn't belong anywhere near the whitehouse.

He is a petty little thug and oprah and few other hard core liberals are the only ones who haven't realized it yet...

Oprah Winfrey has some questionable ideas about respect and President Obama.

Oprah, considered by some to be media’s “first lady,” said during a recent MSNBC interview that, “I am surprised at the mood of the country. I am surprised at the fact that we live in an era where it’s so easy for everybody to have a position of criticism. I get really concerned because I think we are one nation even though we all have different beliefs, and I think that the president of the United States -- that position holds a sense of authority and governance over us all. So that even if you’re not in support of his policies, there needs to be a certain level of respect for the office.”

Well, don’t be surprised, Oprah. It is a virtue in a democracy for people to criticize -- to have vigorous debate and even dissent, involving ideas, policies and personalities, right up to the office of the presidency. This clash of “different beliefs” is part of America’s healthy dialogue about politics generally and presidential leadership specifically. Every president had best be ready to answer his critics.
