Naw, youthful widespread disrespect for authority figures (LEO's, parents, teachers, adults in general, etc.) was happening a long time before Obama came on the scene. That's what I meant by always blaming political figures (that you don't like) for stuff they personally didn't have much to do with. If anything, blame Congress and the SCOTUS for removing religion and discipline from the schools and preventing parents from being parents.i blame obama because he went a long way in making the cops look like the bad guys and destroying the values we grew up with. as potus what he said and did carries a lot of weight so i think i am putting at least a part of the blame where it belongs. i still think most of it falls on how people are raising or really not raising there kids when it comes down to it but when obama came out and blamed the cop up north and then blamed the cop in st. louis before he even knew what happened that made matters worse and we are still seeing the effects of that today, at least i think we are.
