27. To call Obama disrespected is the understatement of the century.

Obama is respected on the world stage but the far right in this country has such a vicious hatred towards this president that is unprecedented in history. It is because he is a black liberal. (And I am of belief he is actually pretty centrist). His policies have generally HELPED the people who are spewing the ugliness.
