Could You Respect a Dirty-Mouthed President?

I can't really give my total respect to our newly elected President no matter how impressive were his pronouncement about his plans against criminality, drugs, and corruptions .
He actually gave the Filipino people a new hope for a clean government, and also peaceful and orderly nation. Honestly, although I did not vote for him, I am kind of happy about his seemingly sincere intentions to deliver his promises.
But our presumptive President has a dirty mouth. He would at times deliver cussing and dirty jokes, and when angry would utter crude, offensive and immoral words like an uneducated, misguided street boy.
His breeding is his biggest weakness. Sadly, his avid.blind supporters are showing high tolerance to his salaciousness and rudeness.
Oh well, our presumptive President issued a statement that the moment he assumed the Presidency on June 30, he will tone down and will change this bad behavior and even likened this change into metamorphosis.
I could only but pray that he really transforms into a decent person in words and in deeds although I know this does not happen overnight.
Could you respect a dirty-mouth President if only for his position?

We have a dirty mouthed idiot running for president. The answer to your question is no, and I certainly hope he doesn't win. I'm goad to hear you now have a thoughtful man at the helm.

@salonga I find it very interesting the whole world is watching the US. Yesterday I saw on line all the political cartoons of the idiot from all over the world.. Not one was kind, no other country trusts him.

UN has something against him for spreading dangerous ideas about journalism.
Apparently he says something that shows his support for murdering journalists.
I think he has a tendency towards dictatorship.
He does not care about Pope, about journalists who want to seek out the truth.
He rather kills all of them so that he can get his way.

Foul language does not bother me. Foul ideas and foul beliefs that spread hate and oppression are what bothers me.

I don't know, I think the world won't like him. People didn't like gordon, but some how love this guy? maybe they will regret it after a couple of years.

@Letranknight2015 Gordon never uttered dirty words even if he knew how to fight for what is right.

@salonga He wasn't afraid to tell media their bias but for some reason he didnt' have any problem answering their questions with out being foul mouthed? I don't get people now a days. I think Richard Gordon was way better than this man, he clearly doesn't care and had lack of ways to mediate, negotiate and diplomacy.
It's a real shame for me. Even for my brother who thinks he's two faced. I can't believe they would just say he's the best but won't win? i mean what kind of mentallity is that? well, were going to put up with him for another six years.

I wonder why he did not give a cabinet post for Robredo because he and BBM are friends.

Hi sofs, I'm so glad to see you again. How are you! 
Of course a man of high position should learn how to speak with grace. It is really hard to respect him totally if he could not control his mouth no matter how good were his plans for his government and people.

Well, different people comes from different walks of life. In my view I see it this way, it is better to have him as president 'true to himself, what you is what you get kind of guy' than another one trying to make people see that he is clean and appropriate but has another plan for his best interest. And yes, I am hoping too that he will tone down a bit from inappropriate words.

probably we have one thing we want to happen now, it is to have a better Philiippines in all aspect of the word. We just have to trust that he will do the best in is ability and pray for him.
I guess we all did that in the previous presidents so why not him.. We should all give him the chance. Same goes for our VP.

Yes, my friend very unbecoming and it is such a shame and bad example especially to young people. I am praying that he change his kind of speech even just while he is the President of this land.

@ridingbet my friend it was the closing part of a speech he made and when it was aired in news it was already edited but you can find the full speech and transcription in this link published in Facebook by his supporters, as if they were even very proud. If you want to watch here is the link

@salonga he goes against the church, and also the media, but his fanatic-supporters are still blind and keep on following him.

I agree with you, his good intentions for this country is commendable and he is likely sincere about this but his dirty speech are offensive. Yes kids are watching and not really good to learn bad words from him. As President he must be decent enough.

@Marchy Yes, true he has offensive pronouncement about mediamen and hope he will realize that not all media men that were killed were corrupt. Let's pray for him. His intentions to clean this government is admirable, he just have to refine his character to fit his high position.

If he is the president then I would give him the respect due a president but might not like some things about him.

Yes he is, although his strong desire to clean our country and government is admirable, it is surprising that he could not clean his mouth.

Prayers are what he need and we, as a nation.
