You had to insult those you don't agree with.
It happens all of the time, read the threads they start and their posts, and it shows what type of people post here. They think they know more than everyone else. They think they're better informed. And, in the end, they are not. It's the spinmeisters at work. One would think they're being paid to dissent and insult.

They prove their ignorance over and over again. Just discuss with people with whom you disagree who, at the very least, are informed instead of uttering nonsense which they can never back up.

Why try and hide your disdain for the President? It's quite evident. I would suggest a sticky thread be created as a repository for all Obama bash comments. It would probably clean up the forum of the abundance of trash and offer those likeminded individuals who hate Obama to have a constant release and allow the rest of us to be free of their nonsense.
I tried creating a thread for bashing a particular issue and it got deleted. Lotsa luck.

As I tried to point out earlier as to why the kind of language we use to start topics is so important, as we can see how easy it is for a bash fest to erupt. While acceptable, they frequently end up closed because they regress into personal insults, flame wars, and essentially anything but the topic, as is the case once again here.
