Amuse me…

Now, I can take jokes just as well as the next person, and I am definitely known to put out quite a few on a regular basis myself… however, I received an email bashing our President today and funny as that email ‘joke’ may have been to some, I am a die-hard Democrat—I am an American—and I respectfully served in our military (1st Gulf War Vet!) to support my country, and now I work for in the Federal government system—so basically this man is my boss, …but more than that, I have a personal, ‘politically-aware’, sincere, vested sense of ‘investment’ in this country that we all live, work, and are free to play in, and I don’t think that literary bashing of our President is acceptable–especially for a President who has really shown no signs of unprofessionalism, or un-Americanism in the two years that he has spent being the “clean up man.” “Lying thief?” Really?! I don’t think that our President did any lying, conniving or thieving. I sincerely think he did his best in a very ugly and tough situation that was left to him from YEARS of egregious mismanagement of US government resources by many Presidents before him…

**No matter who our President is (even though I didn’t agree with the previous administration actions in certain areas—it was STILL OUR Administration—and I never bashed our President—whomever it was). As Americans, yes, free speech is in our right, however, we should have enough respect for our country and support the person that is tasked with all the BS of running an entire country–it’s a dam tough job—and somebody has to do it—and in my HUMBLE opinion… unless we think that we could really get in there and do the job better, we need not show such disrespect—or at least not pass it on to those of us who support our country and have literally fought for our country… no matter who’s hands it was/is in. Just as in my household, you don’t like how it’s being run—then stop complaining and leave, go see if the grass is greener on the other side. Enough said.

I realize that this email was just a forward—and I am not shooting the messenger so to speak… however I will say, next time the disrespect of our President jokes come around, I hope that they will kindly leave me off the forward list. I don’t appreciate receiving things to this nature… (especially not to my “Federal Government” email address —>how distasteful!)

(…and yes, in case you were wondering, my reply ‘to all’ was similar to this one )

Patriotically and respectfully…
