Mr. President. i was raised to have respect for the position even though I hold little regard for the current occupant of the White House.

I have to agree. I don't agree with his policies and like his ideas on gun control or the push toward all electric. But I too was raised to have respect for our president and our flag and could not disrespect (the position) either one of them.

What president

 

[Kimber7man]

Mr. President, or Madam President if we ever have a female President.

Respect the officeholder. IMO there's no gray area on this one.

I totally understand the whole respect thing, however its a 2 way streak, he'll get mine when he shows enough respect to be truthful with the American people,

Respect is earned, not issued. There is a difference between respect and courtesy. I might render my courtesy to him as Mr. President, but it does not mean I respect him.

Think you respect the office, but very difficult to respect the man.

Look at the disrespect Trump.got from the media

I'm not saying that I respect the man, just the office. So FEENIX, maybe it would just courtesy.

I have great love & respect for my country, being a son & grandson of immigrants, home schooled in the U.S. Constitution, & taught to respect legit authrority but some how, like in the movie, Kurt Russell, Snake - "president of what" comes into mind.

It would be "Mr. President" or "Madam President" being the/my Commander in Chief no matter what my personal opinions were.

Look at the disrespect Trump.got from the media

And it was wrong. He also got no respect from across the aisle - as they say. I won't comment any further on that as I don't want your thread shut down as political.

How close is the closest secret service agent in this scenario, and is he paying attention?
