There is truth and there is respect.

It's the whole "You lied!" classlessness all over again.

Democrats had EVERY reason to humiliate that war criminal who proceeded Obama, but they showed the office of the Presidency the respect it deserved in public forums and statements.

Read what Pawlenty said. He obviously disagreed but handled the matter with decorum.

George W. Bush, when told that Idaho Sen. Larry Craig had been the latest GOPer to be caught in a sex scandal involving boys or men: "What is up with all these Republicans?"

Oh please...nobody disrespected Bush? He was made a laughingstock! emoticon

And the fact of the matter is that Obama did nothing to deserve this award, the RNC simply stated that fact. They weren't disrespectful, just truthful.

Nobody disrespected Bush in a public forum such as on the floor of Congress or in newspapers (from fellow politicians). He was made a public laughingstock by the media, NOT by fellow politicians disrespecting the office of the Presidency.

Re: Reactions to Obama winning Nobel Prize

President Obama, the person who started a new war in Pakistan, upped the war in Afghanistan, and continues to threaten Iran with attack unless Iran does what the US government demands and relinquishes its rights as a signatory to the non-proliferation treaty.

The Nobel committee chairman, Thorbjoern Jagland said, “Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future.”

Obama, the committee gushed, has created “a new climate in international politics.”

Tell that to the 2 million displaced Pakistanis and the unknown numbers of dead ones that Obama has racked up in his few months in office. Tell that to the Afghans where civilian deaths continue to mount as Obama’s “war of necessity” drones on indeterminably.

No Bush policy has changed. Iraq is still occupied. The Guantanamo torture prison is still functioning. Rendition and assassinations are still occurring. Spying on Americans without warrants is still the order of the day. Civil liberties are continuing to be violated in the name of Oceania’s “war on terror.”

Apparently, the Nobel committee is suffering from the delusion that, being a minority, Obama is going to put a stop to Western hegemony over darker-skinned peoples.

The man has not EARNED anything, except perhaps a "how to speak in public award".
I think the Committee must have consulted they're seer...

Oh, goody another question for the Magic 8-ball! emoticon

I defy ANYONE to show me an instance where a Democratic politician during the 8 years held hostage by the Bush presidency publicly disrespected the office.

I see it's easy to ignore my challenge because it requires FACTS.
