Decades ago, the late Michigan Senator Arthur Vandenberg gave a speech in which he stated that we must stop “partisan politics at the water’s edge.” Back in the olden days, we were all Americans. Today, our President is a “Citizen of the World”, as Barack Obama stated in his July, 2008 Berlin speech. Why shouldn’t he comment on the parochial Presidential race going on now. And, he did.

I admit that I have not jumped on the Trump Train. Donald J. Trump is not my first choice for President of the United States of America. Hale, Donald J. Trump is not my fifteenth choice for President. But, Barack Obama should shut his pie hole.

I was raised not to be disrespectful to the President of the United States in public. Around the dinner table, one could discuss what a miserable cur the nation’s leader was, but in public, be respectful. Well, boys and girls, we are over that one too.
