Re: Obama's use of curse words
Were you offended when Lindsay Graham called Mexico a hell hole? And that we couldn't take in all the people from all the hell holes that are out there?
And he did it in open session and in front of a camera, not in closed session in which people were encouraged to speak openly and frankly and then some betrayed the President by reporting it outside the meeting. Now THAT was despicable.
I hear America called all kinds of terrible names all the time and I can't say it bothers me. When it comes from a governmental leader, it does affect the degree of sympathy or concern that I might have felt for that country. It is sort of like you being personally insulting in your post doesn't bother me. But such personal insults diminish a person as being thoughtful and diminishes any argument he/she might have as just another ugly rant from somebody reciting assigned talking points and who couldn't objectively defend their argument if they had to. But oh well.
sh**hole is an insult. Period.
If the French president called America a sh**hole, would you be offended? Would you accept his claim that he's just criticizing your government and not insulting you?
Please stop making a fool of yourself.
