Here is the link to the article, if you would like to read it for yourself: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39830360/ns/politics-decision_2010/
The article from the link above, was about a Rhode Island, Democratic, governor candidate. In the article it says that the candidate, Frank Caprio, is telling President Obama to 'shove it' because he wouldn't endorse him. Later in the article, Caprio goes on to say that Obama's decision was 'Washington insider politics at its worst' and accused Obama of plotting behind-the-scenes to endorse his opponent, Chafee, of the independent party.
I find this article to be quite interesting, especially because the main topic of interest is a man, who has made a rude comment towards the leader of our nation, and still expects to be the governor of Rhode Island. Now, I understand that not everyone supports Obama, and not everyone respects him, but, for Pete's sake, he is our President. I don't care whether you're Democrat, Republican, or even an Independent, our President (no matter what party) doesn't deserve that form (or any form) of disrespect that was exhibited by Frank Caprio. Just because he decided not to endorse you, it doesn't mean that you can publicly speak out against him. Can a political candidate really get away with that nowadays? And not be punished for it? Who really wants to have a representative that can't keep his own head, in the coolest of situations? Honestly, Mr. Caprio seems like a disrespectful, angry teenager, regardless of his political party.
