From Todays WICHITA EAGLE: Letter to the editor:
Not worth respect
President of the United States is a title, just like captain or den mother or judge. It entitles the holder to common courtesy and the benefit of the doubt, but respect is something that must be earned.
Had not George Bush's father ridden Ronald Reagan's coattails into the White House, there would have been no second President Bush. His candidacy would have been ignored, his nomination impossible and his election unthinkable.
He is a smirking elitist, a grasping opportunist, an unabashed shirker and a proven incompetent. I see nothing in him to merit a shred of respect.
