Keep at it, though, I believe you’ve got what it takes to be pointed and laughed at like a champ. For such a smart guy, I find it amusing, you seem to be addicted, to using apostrophes, where none are required. Guess you, were smoking dope, when the Liberal Indoctrination Center, you occasionally attended, taught, when to use, an apostrophe. Your loss our laugh. Keep it up pal. You’re a dope, but, you’re a funny, dope. ---

> [@Moriarty](#): > > I did. And I found a quote by Marco Rubio. I’m guessing he’s your arbiter of truth? > [Gallup](http://www.gallup.com/poll/181490/obama-approval-ratings-historically-polarized.aspx) says that President Obama is “one of the most polarizing Presidents in U.S. history.” Polarizing is not the same word as divisive, and it reflects the fact that people like yourself _really_ don’t like the President, while those of us who pay attention to facts think he’s doing a good job. There’s few who are just “meh”. It’s a reflection on the electorate, not on the President. > > Incidentally, the other “most polarizing President” is George W. Bush; do you hold the same disdain for him because Gallup tells you so? > Cite? > Even if so, a wide swath of racist troglodytes can account for that better than the color of the President. > Do you feel proud of yourself for not knowing shit? Because Mr. Obama became the first sitting president to visit a federal prison as part of a push for [criminal justice reform](http://news.yahoo.com/obama-prison-fairer-justice-system-073850092--politics.html). Or is that what you meant by “SFA” and golf? > It really burns your ass that two important voting demographics are beginning to support the Democrats in wide numbers, doesn’t it? It must be especially upsetting to realize that they will hold sway over the future of American politics, and that you and your ilk are being marginalized more every single day. Your country is becoming darker skinned, more multi-cultural, bilingual, and “ethnic” and there’s fuck all that you can do about it. All you can do is spew racist rants on a message board, hoping to make others as miserable as you. > > I’m enjoying watching you squirm. Dance for me! Dance! So BOBO spent one hour touring a federal prison after seven years in office. WOW! I guess that must mean he really gives a shit about young negro men right? There’s no difference between being divisive and polarising visa vi Us politics. Wake up! The negroes basically stayed in the shade on their porches during the midterms. Face it. There was no “free shit” on offer. The DNC knows they can never depend on the negro vote again. Enter stage right the Latinos. Exit stage left the negroes. Sort of rhymes doesn’t it? The next DEM nominee will be lucky if 10% of negroes actually turn out to vote. Biden and the negro voter are chalk and cheese. Hillary and the negro voters knows the “free shit” tap would be shut if Hillary became President. ---
