But, being in the middle isn't good for television ratings, campaign strategists, or fundraisers. For the above mentioned groups (who have all the power), division rules the day. I will respect the President until he/she disrespects us. I lost respect for Clinton for diddling an intern in MY Oval Office and I lost respect for Bush for making excuses to go to war. I'd say I have not lost respect for Obama, yet, but I certainly have been disappointed by him. Though I would admit that I don't think McCain would have done any better over the past four years. Until there is a major shake up in Washington I think the person sitting at the White House is somewhat handcuffed to accomplish much of anything.
