Why do Democrats have to be "President of the United States" but Republicans don't have to be?...

[matmar]

...as per George Clooney's response on the Red Carpet this past Sunday to a Fox not-News "reporter" when he was asked if he approved of the job Barack Obama was doing as President. Clooney' s response was basically this - Yes, I approve, he's the President of the entire United States.

Meaning, he has to consider everyones point of view to govern. Whereas Republicans don't?

It must feel awesome to just tell the other side to "go f**k yourself, I'm pushing through what I believe to be what's right for the country"

Where Oh where have you gone Franklin Roosevelt?

1. i read the exchange as foxlies referring to "obama" and clooney pointing out his title.

he's not "obama" he's "the president of the united states".

nothing about being partisan or serving everyone, just that he hold a title and an office that is deserving of more respect than foxlies gives him.

2. Fox news does not call President Obama, President Obama they disrespect him by

simply referring to his as Obama.

Clooney simply pointed out to the Fox hack that he is President of the United States, not simply Obama.
