But last night, in order to meet President Obama and shake his hand...
...Michael Pancier pretended...
I stand there and talk to a bunch of friends, partners, and associates of mine, many who are Republican, and I note how ironic that here I am, Cigar Mike, in a line to have my picture taken with the President, with whom I disagree on nearly every policy. A friend of mine, and a Democrat tells me, well “he is our President, politics aside.” I told him, “I agree.” While I disagree with him, he is the President and I will be respectful and take a photo with him.
So you may ask, "Cigar Mike, why are you there and why do you shake his hand?" Simple. I'm there cause I have connections and I will not pass up a photographic opportunity such as being able to photograph the President of the United States. Why do I shake his hand? Well, he's my President, even if I don't agree with him and frankly, I wanted to show the leftist nuts out there that unlike them, we can show respect for the President even if we don't agree with him. Their memories are too short, but we remember how they treated GW Bush. But as they say, tomorrow it will all be history and I'll continue my fight to keep the Dems policies from becoming law by focusing on the real issues out there and not on the ridiculous like those birther folks that were across the street from the hotel.
It was my turn to meet the President and I told him “it is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. President.” I shook his hand, he told me “thank you for all your help,” a photo was taken, and I was on my way as the next person got his turn to take his photo with the President.
So Mr. Pancier's extreme animosity toward the President was supposedly put on hold for one night in order to teach liberals a lesson about respect for the office of the presidency...oh, and also get a picture with the "Dick in Chief."
Michael Pancier, "Cigar Mike," applied the tag "Liberal Hypocrisy" to this post.
Really.

Wow -- I wonder if that is Michael Pancier, a Fort Lauderdale attorney who works with Scott Rothstein?
One and the same SFL...
I was sorely disappointed in Cigar Mike's reporting. What? No palm buzzer? No bunny ears during the pic?
The room must have been cold. There was shrinkage.
Cigar Mike says that no liberal would deign to be polite to George W. Bush if he or she met them in person. Project much? Speaking for myself, I've met a lot of people and politicians with whom I've had very strong disagreements, but I have always treated them with respect; if not for their views, at least for their office. Even a gay liberal Quaker believes in the philosophy of "do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
However, the point would seem to be moot. When Mr. Bush was in office, it was very unusual for a person with contrary views to be permitted to come to a public event; the White House made sure that all those who attended were properly vetted. Cigar Mike would never admit it, but the Obama White House was showing him, a well-known conservative blogger, a privilege that would never have been granted to a liberal by the Bush White House.
What a pussy.
Notice that he was in the "intermediate big wigs" room, for which privilege him -or his firm- paid five figures. So not only was he putting his animosity on hold, he was making a substantial financial contribution.
As one of those liberals who would not pay to shake Bush's hand, I can only say: Thanks!
Whoa. Cigar Mike is a lawyer?
I wonder if he ever took First Amendment.

So I wonder if Scott Rothstein paid for Mike's ticket with any of the money that is "unaccounted for?"
