 If the president of the United States says something, I don't want this or I don't like that, that carries more weight. It also can cause greater scandal. But it doesn't exempt you as John Q. Public, who is not a public figure, who doesn't have any prominence, because it's in your conscience that you have to say, am I going to do something that I know by my presence is going to convey the impression that I agree with this or that at least it's OK enough that I can be here?
