I think this is something which makes Americans (US) different from most other nations in the world. Even if they didn't vote for the man and do not agree with his policies, they always respect the position. To Americans, the President is not just a political leader, he is also a symbol of the Union. The US is such an huge and diverse nation ....united by symbolism like the flag, The Declaration of Independence, the anthem, and President. I think it is important for those of us who do not live in the US to appreciate this aspect of American life. I very much appreciate Car Diva and Choleric's perspective on this. It is admirable that Jeff would like to have a drink with Bush, even if he would never vote for him.
