Let's get serious here and call a spade a spade. This is nothing more than disrespect for the office of the president. No more, no less. Ask yourself, how many walked out when the previous president LIED to them about Iraq? Zip. That includes republicans and democrats.

The bottom line here, the people that elected this person should be very ashamed. They did not send him to Washington to be disrespectful. They sent him there to work on their behalf. Obviously, he forgot that part and let his personal feelings get in the way of mature thought process. The even largest disappointment, he's unrepentant. So here's an idea. The next time he comes home on vacation, on our dime, and he wants to hold a "Town-Hall", let's walk out on him. And while we are at it, let's walk out on him at the polls and elect someone that has our interest at heart.

It's already bad enough we have another unrepentant, arrogant, only thinking of himself jack hole calling the president a lie, but now we the people of Illinois have to hang our heads in shame because of this numb-skull.
