As a long time proponent of civility in public discourse, I find the current primary season to be a helpful reminder of how uncivil we tend to be. The primary case in point is Mr. Gingrich and his use of the name "Obama".
"Obama" does this.
"Obama" does that.
"Obama's policies" caused this.
Etc.
Long time readers of this blog will readily understand that I am not a big fan of Mr. Obama for a variety of reasons. But for at least the next few months, he is President of the United States.
It behooves one who seeks high office to treat that office with the respect they expect to receive should their candidacy be successful. It is too bad that Gingrich hasn't figured that out.
