Why do we take cheap shots at our Presidents?

I was sitting here, watching posts by certain friends of Facebook and there were a couple of comics taking cheap shots at President Obama. For some reason, I started thinking, why do we do this?

It seems that the President, regardless of who they may be seems to be a lightning rod for those who for some reason get a degree of self satisfaction in doing so. It does not explain why?

If we were a dictatorship and a President ruled by decree in all matters of state, then yes I could see the rationale behind it. We don't have a dictatorship. Laws are created and passed by the Legislative branch and if the President agrees, he signs them into law. Yet, as in the case of Americare, it's called by some, Obamacare as if he alone is responsible for the law, which he is not.

Why do we not take out our frustrations and anger with those truly responsible, the individual Congressmen and Senators? They alone create the laws, tax us and try to deprive us of our perceived rights.

Some say President Obama wants to take away our guns. Now anyone with half a brain cannot possibly believe that, but does not stop some from saying so. The President has NO power to do such a thing. The Supreme Court has ruled on this subject so it's a moot point. In fact the President has gone on the record with his personal beliefs and they do not conflict with the constitution, but even if they did, he still has the right as we all do to voice a personal opinion.

I wonder what things would be like if we held those actually responsible accountable for their actions and votes.

Your congressman is supposed to represent a certain number of people, the President must consider 300 million. May I suggest we all start at the bottom and go after those who are truly responsible.
