Maybe I’m just an old prude with outdated values but I believe the President of the United States of America should be Presidential. Yes, I know the President is only human and I’m sure he says some choice words when he stumps his toe the same as I, but I don’t expect him to say them in public. I expect my President to respect the office and use restraint. The only time I want the occupant of the most powerful office in this world to mention the word ‘ass’ is in regards to the animal Jesus rode. I know the word ‘ass’ and the phrase ‘kick some ass‘ has become tolerated on TV shows but that doesn’t make it appropriate speech for people in leadership positions.
The thing that bothers me most is the lack of outcry by the religious leaders. How are parents going to tell their children that cursing is wrong when the will just say, “Why,… President Obama does it?” What’s the President going to say to his own daughters if they get disciplined in school for saying ‘ass or kick some ass’? Will he say, “It’s OK for daddy to say in on national TV because daddy’s President?” That is the main reason it is wrong for daddy to say on national TV.
I know the President was being criticized for not showing enough emotion over the gulf oil spill but that is no excuse for him to use such crude language. Whether you approve or disapprove of his handling of the disaster, this fake outrage does not help his image and just denigrates the Office of the President of the United States.
I have been waiting to post this blog because I assumed the religious community would speak out, but I guess I was wrong. I guess that’s what I get for assuming. Whether you are Christian, Hebrew, Muslim or other; speak to your Pastor, Priest, Rabbi or other religious leader to condemn this language. It amazes me there was more outrage at a Senator who called the President a liar (which turned out to be true), than a president cursing on national TV. Contact your Senators and Representatives to call out the President on this issue. I have contacted mine.

Twitter It!Immigration Reform Compromise Everyone Should Support.
Our country was founded by and for immigrants; and unless you are a full blooded Native American Indian then at least part of your ancestors were immigrants. Our country would have never become the great world power it is without immigrants. Immigrants have an intrinsic quality in the fact [...]

President Obama has started sounding like a broken record. Blame it on someone else, it’s not my fault. (By the way, for those under the age of 30, a record was like a CD but made of vinyl and if it happened to become cracked or scratched, it would repeat a part of the [...]

Yesterday I attended the tax-day teaparty that was organized by the Midsouth Teaparty of which I am a recent member. While standing with my sign (Obamacare is a Grave Mistake), a lady with a video camera came up to me and asked, “Where is all the violence?” I asked her what she meant. She [...]

To repeal a bill and override Obama’s veto would require two thirds of both the Senate and House. Unfortunately, if all the seats in the House were replaced next election, there aren’t enough Senate seats up for grab next election to give a two third majority in the Senate. If this bill isn’t repealed [...]

If you are in the military or a veteran then you know what the subtitle means. One of the main things drilled into your head during boot camp is there is no excuse. No matter what the reason for your screw-up, stumble or being late, there is no excuse. Why is [...]

Our nation was founded by immigrants and children of immigrants. We need immigrants for our nation to grow both socially and intellectually. Every immigrant I have ever met seems astounded by the things we take for granted. The Mexicans I have met [...]

Yes, I’m glad Scott Brown won the Massachusetts Senator seat, but don’t park the Teaparty Express bus yet. Sen. Brown will be the 41st vote to provide a filibuster to stop healthcare but that doesn’t mean it will stop Obama-Care. If you listen to any of the news you have heard of [...]

I know the final bill hasn’t passed but I guarantee the Democrats and Obama will get something passed before the end of the month. There are enough Democrats in the House and Senate that they will pass something. They must pass it soon or their constituents might remember how much they screwed us come [...]

Do endorsements by athletes or famous people really improve sales? Tiger’s recent revelations may provide the proof. There is no doubt; Tiger Woods is/was one of the highest paid celebrities for his endorsements. The immediate cancelation of his endorsements should give a very good benchmark to the marketers whether endorsements still pay.
