As far as respect for a president goes, this "president" has yet to earn it. It begins to look doubtful that he will. The only thing he has proven so far is that, rather than being the gibbering idiot portrayed often on Mudcat, he is in fact a brilliant demogogue, in the grand tradition of one in Germany in the 20's and 30's--perhaps you've heard of him, "Martin"?--along the lines of "The US is crawling with terrorists and homosexuals--and be sure to watch out for those homosexual terrorists".

Perhaps closer to home, a role model could have been Father Coughlin--not Huey Long--Huey actually had some good ideas, and was a real complex character.

Sorry for the thread creep.
