Eh. You asked a question. I answered honestly. Would you rather I give you a PC answer? You don't strike me as the kind of dolphin that enjoys people blowing smoke into your blowhole.
Every single government official has had more than their fair share of detractors and, many have disgraced the office they were voted into or appointed to. Respect is earned, not given merely because a title has been transferred. I respect the office itself, but not the person in that office until they've done something to earn my respect.
