This is the attitude I hope President starts laying down on people because some folk are getting WAAAAAAAY to comfy with blatantly disrespecting the man. You know as a black man I deal with a lot but you'd be hard pressed to find a person that would walk up to me and disrespect me to my face. That's just how we are. There are lines you don't cross. With that in mind, the President can't simple slap the shit out of someone sooooo that allow for a lot of "habitual line stepping" (Thanks Charlie Murphy). Last night's Health Care speech was good but should it really be that hard to make sure the citizens of the "most powerful nation on earth" have adequate medical care? Smh, in any case, here is a sample my Super friend Evita's International take on things. She expresses this much better then me....

American's character....jester?!
I sit at my laptop with the lust to continue my memoir, yet the need to respond to President Obama's speech. Being in Japan, MSNBC is typically my late informant on those things political, and today was no different.

The above link is Obama's speech on healthcare.
For fifty-one minutes I watched the most transparent split in legislation, occupy one room, and do everything from give repeat standing ovations, to bolt demeaning epithets to the President.....as he works to make sure every American is covered under health insurance.
This is why, of the character I have seen, I deem America as a jester. We look like clowns. And being about as far away from the United States as humanly possible, it's legitimized and magnified when you are on the outside looking in. You can tell I'm pissed because my vocabulary comes out.
