Dignity



DIGNITY. They have insulted him, reviled him, disrespected him and pushed him and he has maintained his dignity. He has taken more garbage from them than any other man could and yet he maintains his grace and dignity. He maintains his concern for the American people, for our health and our economy even though they have fought him at every turn. He still stands up for what is right. Never has a President faced such disrespect and opposition. And yet, he maintains his dignity.

Sheryl Dotson Nunez Amen. My dad always told us you may not respect the man but you damn well better respect the title. This man has more then earned the right to be shown respect yet he's had less then any other President in our history!

Denise Monday He will be honored in history as one of the greatest presidents ever and all of his haters, detractors, obstructionists and the racist bigots will be as reviled as the assassins of Lincoln and Kennedy.

Loretta Sarazin Pamela, we don't live in la la land. We are fully awake. I listen to both sides and determine for myself who is best suited in my eyes. The President has done more good for our Country then people are willing to give him credit for.

Gerry Mahoney He was elected fairly - yet not treated fairly. Respect is due to a president and the commander in chief- no matter which party he is affiliated with. And.....if you did not vote, you have no room to complain.

3. President Obama can be very stoic; but he's human and you know that has to hurt to some extent.

We can't just be silent 'supporters' either, even when it causes some of the fire to be directed at us. And we need to let him know of our support, and follow through. Give him a Congress he can work with!

I believe that there is so much love in that family and that holds them together. They draw strength from each other

They have all been attacked and ridiculed. It would be bad enough if it came from the redneck voters. Yet it does not, it comes from Senators, Congressmen, Governors, Judges and more. Joe Wilson at the SOTU, screamed out "YOU LIE".

The Obama family has a bond, it is their strength. A sense of pride and yes dignity.

Yes, Irish. We vote in 2014! We can do this.

They try to throw everything in his face, yet he stands taller than they ever will.

They have nothing and they know it.

I so admire his strength.
