Two reasons. The first is that I think it would be a waste to focus that much energy on such a negative output. The second is that I've come to feel nothing but disdain for people who shit on the sitting President like I've seen here and in many other places. If you don't respect the man, you should at least respect the office.
I've decided that the best way to restore some civility is to lead by example. That is why I will never refer to President Obama in the manner that several here have referred to President Bush.

Nate, the ultimate civility is to respond to people in the manner they prefer. Since the liberal electorate has preferred sneers and insult, I shall communicate with them as they prefer... Besides, I cannot let the republic go quietly into the dark...
