obama says that he likes the term obamacare. He is proud of it, it was not used to try to "needle" him. If nothing else it would be a compliment in obama's narcissistic mind.
I don't care about the nicknames on here or other places, but it is completely immature and unprofessional for a candidate to do it or a member of the press.
If you dont mind, can we get a link for that comment, or is that just your layman's opinion?
I call BS on your call of BS. Read the damn transcript. Romney said that he used the term "with all respect" and Obama responded positively. And if you watch the debate on video, both appeared to be quite sincere.
Explain to me how "Obamacare" is perjorative. What about 'Reaganomics,' "Carter Doctrine,' 'Bush tax cuts,' etc. Were these all perjorative? What is exactly the criterion that makes such a term perjorative or not?
"All due respect" my, uh, foot! He was about as sincere as nothing. Just like he glibly told Jim Leherer he wanted to fire him, probably also "with all due respect". Are you interested in my beachfront property here in Colorado?
What makes a term pejorative is its use. RWNJs use "Obamacare" to describe the ACA.

I'd like the link to this one. Some hack psychologist made this "talk show type" assessment about him and, within the last year, I heard this narcissism label that has stuck among those who dislike him. If anybody is narcissistic, it's anybody in the Romney clan. Let's get real. BTW, all politicians and entertainers typically score higher than the average person on tests to measure narcissism. If they didn't, they wouldn't be politicians and entertainers.
I saw the "Romnesia" comment on the homepage today. Election banter is starting to get a little "below the belt." This won't change the way I will vote, but I can't wait until this is over. This election has pitted so many people against each other, including friends and family members. I know it's getting down to the wire.
What do you think of these "nicknames" and "wordsmithing?" Is this a standard in Presidential campaigning? Other examples?

you know, I am not that good with reading between the line (usually take thing quite literal)
but ...when some one says this.."""""Oh, yes, because that is sooooo much worse than "*******." """" in response to this """"and some posters here use the OFFENSIVE term RWNJ""""""...it certainly sound like you are saying its ok , because that one did that first
maybe I am wrong, or reading you incorrectly
