And you may need to remember to not pluralize with an apostrophe. It is a common error, but still an error, since you seek for everyone to have complete credibility through impeccable spelling and grammar.

You know, I'm an English teacher and if I picked apart the grammar, spelling, etc. (aka "mechanics") of each post on here, I'd run out of red ink.

Thank you, Irishvanguard, for calling her/him out on it.

the only thing that matters is Obama's 'spread the wealth comment'
Obama the socialist parasite.

"Oakland A's" is a corporate name, AKA Oakland Athletics. Hence, A's could be a contraction of Athletics. And I will not correct a corporation using a name even if they are wrong.

Obama is also criticized for being intelligent.

Oh, haven't you heard? Obama is not a socialist! And Marx is not a Marxist, and Michael Moore isn't a fat slob!

Oakland As, not A's. They were the Kansas City As long before they went to Oakland.

I've been a season ticket holder since 1979 -- all of my ticket stubs and memorabilia say A's. Charlie Finley officially named them "The A's".

Now, back to Barack Obama: Not a socialist, not a terrorist, not a Muslim. Merely the best chance for redemption this country has seen for a pathetically long time.

Back to your regularly scheduled bickering....
