Reply #38: It goes beyond snark and tweets

it is a POV that a lot of people of all races that support this President have.

The level of disrespect for the Obamas and the office of the Presidency has reached a new level and McCain is part of the problem. He may be known for his bipartisan work, but it still does not excuse him from his behavior towards Obama. It may not be fair to pin this on McCain, but there have been a lot of people from the right, left and center, that are undermining his Administration at every turn. Biden is excused because, he is Obama's partner and is an attack dog with a smile. They are already going after Rachel Maddow for allowing B. Maher to call Obama a "golden retriever" (animals and AA comparisons are insensitive, if not offensive towards AA) for not speaking about gun control at the TMS. Too much other stuff to name.

As to Senator Kerry, ok, he knows McCain better than we do, but how many Americans know about the energy bill and its benefits? I did go back and hear the interview he did on Climate Change, and it was good, and agree that more people should take interest in this issue, especially after Katrina.

Dis was not a good word, more like a good kick behind speech (that few noticed) about Senator McCain vs Candidate McCain. However, many have seen McCain in action on the Senate floor and in the media and see a man refusing to let go of losing to a historical candidate in an historical election (in a landslide). He may have been right to question his experience, but the more Obama does well, the more angrier McCain seems. And Kerry got a lot of flack for going against General Clark and supporting McCain on that issue. Plus, people remember the rumored Kerry/McCain ticket of 04.

Even if Obama Democrats don't appreciate Senator Kerry (cause they are watching which Democrats really have the President's back), he does have the President's ear when it comes to Foreign Policy, Energy, and other issues. :) People are just very protective of the President and First Family (since we are not living in a post-racial era) and that is just the way they roll.


If this comes across as taking swipes at Kerry, it was not the intent, if so apologies.
