Since when political speech became hate speech?

US politics have degenerated from graceful and respectful to ugly and insulting and embarrassing since Obama came to office.

The Republicans found themselves as if sitting on a frying pan while watching Obama in the white house. They found themselves that their butts are on fire and they go all the way out using every media channel they have to start this ugly political division. Some people took it as it is some others naively bought everything that's been said.

Both parties need to realize they are supposed to work for the country's best interest rather than for their own political party. The feuding is childish and embarrassing and I view it with certain disgust and shows to great extent that even great many of American politicians are not so ready to be democratic and play politics gracefully with ethics. It wasn't like this before. When Bill Clinton took office the Republicans seemed to be able to accept that a democrat was now taking office. Stop inciting hate when making political speech. The enemy is not your fellow countrymen. Tough economy outlook and deteriorating character in general are your main problem.

One corrupt man in a country of a thousand may think he's privileged to be corrupt but sooner of later his behavior will be copied and suddenly the numbers multiply a hundred times and the country will become corrupt in general. Out of this deteriorating situation the general population soon will learn that character is unappreciated and may even impede one's advantage and copy the corrupt behavior they see in their leaders and the whole society will degenerate into chaos and crumbles. That's how great civilizations and empires came to an end. If only historians had been more detailed in their record keeping we would've learned this ages ago. There's motive to every historic fact. The facts get recorded the motives don't unfortunately.

disclaimer: But then again this is only my 2 cents worth.
