Are you really complaining about him fidgeting? Isn't that grasping at straws just a bit?


Sorry the word doesn't really explain what I see in the video but it's the best word I can find. And it's not so much that he's doing it that bothers me. It's that we've all seen the man enough to know the kind of control he does have, which suggests to me that he just doesn't care about what's going on. And yes I do have a problem with that. But then, as I said to TJ a while back, I'm not going to really judge the man based on that one incident but I sure as hell don't see it as a "plus" as boo seems to.


I just think you're really reaching there. But, of course, you're entitled to your opinion.


If I were calling him unpatriotic over this one incident I would agree that's reaching and partly why I say I can't agree with TJ completely. But I have reviewed my opinion decided that yeah this is not exactly a great performance by our commander and chief. If you read my earlier statements you'd know that I considered this more of a faux pas than a reason to show disrespect to the president. But I still cannot for the life of me figure how anyone could consider all this a "good thing". That's just doesn't meet with common sense at all.


I'm not sure who you're talking about that said it was a good thing. I don't think it was me. However, I do not think what happened in that video was important or anything to dwell on.


Nope wasn't you. 'twas a rationalization but of no particular importance now. You just happened to step into the middle of it laugh. I'd have been happy to let it go a while ago but I had to try and make sense of what was being said. Turns out I couldn't laugh

Have a great day time for me to get out of here, people waiting on me :smile:

You know I just realized some thing besides the fact that this thread got hijacked.

Yes it's my opinion that Obama should properly salute the flag when the Natonal Anthem is being played.


I would agree with that TJ, but just as we don't know if in that one shot of Bush he was in the midst of raising or lowering his hand, we also don't know if there was a flag present in front of the people on that stage. So I can't make a judgment on that issue.


I guess I would just like to see our elected officials uphold the laws and rules and codes that they wright.


That's what I was trying to explain earlier. In essence if our country asks us to do it then our president is as well, and if he's going to ask us to do it then he should be willing himself. Of course he may not be aware of that title. I suspect many here were not prior to this debate. He "should" be aware but I suspect that IF he was not properly saluting the flag is was not out of lack of respect but simply a lack of understanding of those rules.

I post what I think, I don't play games, so if I miss interpreted what you said I will acknowledge that. So no need to assume that I know but am avoiding something, it's not in my nature to avoid anything.


Yeah that's you skip over everything I posted and post BS like this. Nevermind, last send to you.



What's the problem. I read your 'entire post'. You start out by telling me no one is talking about what I was talking about. Then you accuse me of playing dumb and avoiding the question...

Now you accuse me of skipping over everything and posting BS, BS because I see him differently than you do?

There was little to respond to. You gave your opinion of his fidgetting, what else did I need to add? You already knew what I felt about it, so there was no reason to repeat my own view..


Well I'll try this in a little plainer english for you since you don't seem to have gotten it from the last post. You've posted about everything except those things asked of you. From that I'm concluding that speaking to you is a waste of my time. Since I'm not fond of wasting my time I am not responding to any topic in this or any other you make. You needn't bother responding I'm not interested.


I don't know why you need to be so nasty about it. I simply didn't agree with you on the fidgetting. I never got a chance to answer your original question because I replied to your last post first. But there's no sense in answering it now.
