My mother used to say, "If you don't respect the man, you still have to respect the office." This was back in the Clinton days. She said she didn't like Bill Clinton, but if he came to our house and knocked on our door, she would be respectful, shake his hand and invite him in to dinner...because he is the president.

Now what I don't understand, is that the Obama's have been in office for less than a hundred days. Less than 70!!! What have they shown us thus far that deserves this kind of dirty, disgusting disrespect. And from the party that claims to be the morally superior one. I'm still looking for that part of the compassionate conservative party. These articles are just 2 more reasons why I am an independent...thinker and voter. Because WTF.

Today's WTF moment

This moment actually happened 2 nights ago. An older, dare I say, gentleman, was talking to someone about his mother's battle with early onset of Alzheimer's. What made this even worse than it's face value was that this happened in the midst of one of the types of crowds that vibes that they are more "enlightened" than the average folk.

Quote:
"My mother's body physically is great. She will probably live forever, which she is not happy about. But she isn't willing to do anything about it, which is inconvenient"

WTF

...She isn't willing to do anything about it...

Now, one of my worst fears is that I or any of my loved ones would get Alzheimer's. I just feel like that would be one of the most heartbreaking things that could happen to me and mine. But I could not imagine wanting them to be gone for the sake of convenience. To say I was pissed off at this statement is an understatement. I was outraged. I was angry and sad, but mostly angry. I believe that all life is sacred, once gone...it cannot come back again. My mother died when I was a pre-teen. If I could trade her dead body with one that is strong physically but whose mind has decided it's own path, I would take it so fast. Just to be able to see her when I could would be an immeasurable gift. It saddened and angered me that life can be so expendable to some, especially your own mother's... I'm still at a loss...and still a little pissed off...
