If I'm mistaken and asa was not insinuating that you support your president at all costs and turns, then I retract my insulting statements. asa can clarify.

edit- although he did say the poster was "pretty god damned stupid" so I doubt I misunderstood him. Once again, asa can clarify.

an excellent example of reading comprehension being trampled by emotions that come about from political beliefs
no matter if you disagree, no matter what you feel or believe, for the next four years, he's your president
do you have to agree with his policies, or his personal beliefs? no, because that won't change the fact that he's your president. do you have to like his weaknesses? do you have to admire his strengths? no on both counts, it's best to have a strong president as it reflects positively on our country, but weak or strong, it doesn't change the fact that he's the president

and because he expressed it better than i could, i'll quote John Scalzi

If a candidate — any candidate — fulfills the requirements of that system to become our president, then I believe it’s my duty to acknowledge that, yes, that candidate is now my president. I can criticize that president, argue with that president, loathe that president and work to replace that president in the manner allowed for by the Constitution… but what I can’t do is deny that he or she is my president. That’s wrong, factually and morally, and it’s dismissive of the Constitution of the United States.

OKay.... But do you believe that you are supposed support your president at all costs and turns as I said? Because I can not agree with that.

And I did read your entire post.

No, his post states that it is your right to disagree with the president and you don't have to support his beliefs but you cannot deny that he IS your president, for better or worse.

I'm not sure what you're saying, it sounds to me like you're saying, that he's saying, you can't outright deny the person that your president is... or something

Yep, I can foresee this being useful.

Yes, that is basically the gist of it. Unless I'm wrong he's pointing out the fact that regardless of whether or not you agree with, like or support the president he is still in fact your president. The posted bumper sticker was "Not my president", which is technically inaccurate.
