It is entirely up to the president to uphold the honor of the office, or to destroy it (and no, Chas, I'm not talking about Bush any more). Perhaps not permanently, but any president can DISHONOR the office and subject it to ridicule while he holds that office. I cannot change the opinion that the office is totally in the hands of the occupant and the mere fact he holds that office should not shield him from deserved criticism.

From the Wall Street Journal But as regards the office of the president, we only have the here and now and if people feel the president has dishonored that office they have every right to express that, regardless of who that president is.

The OP was just about something that interests me. I'm all for protesting a horrible government. It's pretty much all "we the people" can do. We have been given the right to do so by our constitution. Bush even said it in the speech while he was being heckled. We have free speech in America, he said. It's not about taking shots. It's about sharing the news that interests me and makes me proud of my country. My fellow Americans are making it known that we don't agree with our president. We can hardly wait till he's gone from office. There will always be those lazy posters who just want to get in their personal attacks whenever I post something. |

Re: Bush Heckled During July 4 Speech
It's kind of funny that a heckler made it into one of Bush's events. Maybe they mistook it for a McCain event?
Perhaps Bush's greatest legacy will be that he skillfully surrounded himself only with people who are aligned with him, including in every crowd that he talks to, which have been mostly military crowds in recent memory. So it's kind of a wonder that they slipped this time. You can't stop the weirdos from coming out though, especially in the political climate right now in America where tons of people are just ready to flush their gov't down the toilet. |

I have plenty to criticize Bush about, but I find the idea of discussing the right to heckle anyone more interesting, and there are plenty of anti-Bush threads already. Not that I see anything inherently wrong with "Bush bashing". It's just a part of the meat of a political forum, like the thousands of threads about Clinton when HE was president. I just like a little change of pace.

If it weren't for him, Iran would not be where it is today, and he's helped the environment somewhat by causing fuel prices to increase.
