I realize no one is a perfect.but at the same time I also know that when a person is placed in a position of leadership and expected to be a positive influence on those around them I am amazed that there are those who have little regard for the trust that has been placed in them. President Obama, recently spoke with Rolling Stone Magazine. No doubt the president is trying to appeal to the 18 -24 voting demographic and he is aware of course that many young people who are 18 -24 more than likely read Rolling Stone Magazine. The president wants to appear to be able to relate to the societal views of of the nations college students and certainly the president wants to perceived as the cool president and one supposes the president thought a interview with Rolling Stone would help him do just that.
Obama, stated in the interview that Governor Mitt Romney, was a B S er only he said the actual words.I am not trying to appear to be holier than thou here but I would have thought a man with Obama's educational background more specifically, a Columbia University graduate and a Harvard law professor and a person known for his great ability to speak with great eloquence could have used his vast vocabulary to find more fitting words to express himself and since I am more than convinced that he could have, I must conclude, he chose not to because he thought it would appeal to the college crowd and he would appear to be cool if he used the the crude language of the street to express himself. I for one, was not impressed. I was disappointed in the president but it it wasn't the first time. I was always taught that it was a sign that a person was educated if they didn't have to resort to four letter words to express themselves. The Bible says in Matthew 12 ;34 "O generation of vipers, how can ye being evil speak good things?" " For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh." One wonders if the president has gone in for a heart check up lately? I wonder if he talks this way in front of his daughters? I know I try my best to never talk that way in front of my daughter. When a president, uses this kind of language to denigrate an opponent he actually denigrates himself. This kind of language can be called many things crude course or the words of choice for the uneducated but to call this kind of language presidential? PLEASE!! As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
