Name Calling

this person you have never seen before. If you saw Obama walking down the same street, you would see him as a slightly balding man of colour, you certainly would not call him a unless you are bigoted racist. If you see George Bush along the same street, you may think he is a retired school teacher whether he was good at his job wouldn´t cross your mind. If you saw Joe Biden, you would think he was an old man walking from a restaurant to his car, and not think about his political past, and the wrong decision he has made. If you talk about the merit of people in power, do so by knowing what they have done, name-calling is an emotive reaction and blind us for what good they might have done.
