Uniparty on CNN now. I've never seen such direct insults to a sitting president on national TV. These people are disgusting.

Obama had his critics but nobody got on TV and called him stupid, childish and a liar. These people should be ashamed of themselves.

I agree. They should go back to fake news.

It's aisle, and respect is a two way street.

Preposterous.

You don't want to be called those things, don't be those things.

You are watching CNN and the president in question defeated a Clinton.

What did you expect?

People got on Fox News everyday for 8 years and did that to Obama

Y'all got some thin skin now...

Better toughen up; life is hard.

That's because we've never had such a clueless, immature, narcissistic dumbass in the job before.

Its time for legit alternatives to the Democrat and Republican party. Rush needs to come out and call for it.

You wanted an alpha male, who took the fight to everybody and anybody. But now it's shameful when they fight back?

You must not have watched Fox. Or the Republican Congressional Delegation during a State of the Union for that matter.

I don't know what's worse. How they talk about him or how he talks about so many other people and things. The lack of regard broadly shown this president is probably unprecedented, but so is his own relative lack of decorum. I mean he's called people stupid, "a mess," "lying ted," little Marco, talked about Heidi Cruz's face, insulted POWs, said a judge of Mexican descent can't fairly hear his case, called his general election opponent a nasty woman, insulted Rand Paul's looks, gone after his own IC, blamed his commanders for the death of the SEAL team member in Yemen, and thrown shade on Twitter at everyone from Rosie O'Donnell to the Pope--most recently issuing a threat to the former head of the FBI over same platform.

Well Joe Wilson yelled it to his face on television--during the State of the Union address. And he was able to raise money off the uproar.

Do we want conventional or unconventional, DC? Probably can't have it both ways.

Obama was called a pussy on live TV and nobody blinked at Fox News.

Joe Wilson screamed "You lie" in the middle of Obama's speech to the joint session of Congress.

This was unprecedented and a Democrat wouldn't dare do anything so disrespectful.

When it is stated that Trump constantly lies to the American public and has at best a misguided understanding of the legislation he is trying to push through, such as Trumpcare,

those are rational observations that can be backed up with tons of video evidence.


Saying that about Obama would just not have been accurate.

Obama put up with it for 8+ years. Hillary has dealt with it for 30+ years. Put on your big boy pants and deal with it.

Why would anyone respect this president after he repeatedly disrespected the previous president?
