I dare him to turn up dress in white sheets with a white hood/mask.

I know the guys that suggested the inappropriate things are not from the US, so I'll give ya a pass.

But to be honest, this man deserves the respect of those around him. I don't care what you think of him personally, or politically, he is still PotUS. The Same way the King/Queen of England, or the leader of any other country, should have some respect. If you were to have an issue with him, the only way to portray that difference would be through civilized debate.

I'm just saying, the position itself demands some respect, if not the man himself.

My thoughts exactly.

I'll post more, but here are some highlites:

My wife saw the motorcade drive by (where she was).
Marine 1 and posse fly over my house.
I drove over to work but didn't go in the building, as they were not expecting me, and that would have pissed off the wrong people, so I drove home and listened to his speech at home.

There were about 50 protesters out front one entrance.

Here's what I was looking for:

I work on the otherside of the door where this microscope is:


It's funny seeing cameras in there, as they are strictly forbidden

What, no firm handshake, that's ok, I don't get that on most of my dates, either.

Back when I was still driving skiers to the resorts, then-President Clinton and family came to Park City on a ski vacation. One morning I picked up a group of three couples to take back to the airport. They asked me to stop at a convenience store so they could get coffee, and they came back to the van toting armloads of newspapers. Seems that one of the couples were wrangled for a photo-op, and there they were on the front page of the 'B' (Local) section of the Salt Lake Tribune.

The woman asked me "Do you like President Clinton?"

"Not particularly."

"Neither do I, but...but..."

I answered "But you got your picture in the paper shaking hands with the President of The United States, and that's something to tell your grandchildren about."

McBee, this was pretty cool.
