Pavlov's Dog Comments

Very distessing

I just was reading some of the comments people left about the story of President Obama 

canceling his visit to the Philippines, to meet with their President, after he called our 

President the 'son of a w***e'. These weren't Philippine citizens making comments, which 

you might expect, what with national pride, no, these were American citizens. I 

expected to hear from them, outrage of President Obama's treatment, but what I saw 

was right-wingers using this as an excuse to let President Obama have it, saying such is 

his popularity in some places, that they don't blame the president of the Philippines, and 

that, much like Trump, he's only telling it like it is. 

Exactly why we can't elect someone who gets angry, and lashes out. The Philippine 

president was angry because of some comments President Obama made about the 

Philippine efforts on the war on drugs, executing prisoners and the like. Instead of using 

a more diplomatic rebuttal, the Philippine president went into 5th grade tirade mode, 

just like Trump would have, and attacked the president verbally. I was surprised and 

dismayed, though with today's toxic political climate, I don't know that I should have 

been. Is this really how low our politics has fallen?
