Bob, are you suggesting I curb my sarcasm and render Mr. Obama appropriate deference? Or was my sarcasm not clear? All I require of the incoming President is that he stay out of my life except for an occasional speech.

It would also be nice if he could rein in some of our international bullying and bribery.

Your attitude and choice of words is symptom of the wider problem.

Physician, cure thyself! You can’t change a civil culture into a civilized culture unless you’re willing to start with yourself.

Nice to meet you Jay. I believe you would be amazed at the wide plethora of content that people are taught to be outraged and offended by. The further a society travels down the road to lack of responsibility the greater crime it becomes to offend another.
