Last, splitting hairs isn't likely to win anyone the "most wise" award. Don't like the acronym BHO? Would you rather just BO? If I was the PUSA (or POTUS) I definitely would prefer BHO instead of being associated with "body odor." These are all legitimate acronyms even if one of them doesn't float someone's ideological boat.
Thanks Crownsy, good post.
The reason I brought up my concerns were because of how the acronyms were used in the original post of the Iran thread. At the time I had no idea what BHO, PUSA, Rham E and some other language used in the post were.
The reason I thought the acronyms might have been a bit insulting is first, the way they were used:
Second: what should PUSA be doing? Currently he appears to be voting president. And while Rham E said "never let a good crisis go to waste" - that appears to be the current plan in place at the white house. What should we be doing?
As loyal opposition (me) or supporters of BHO (everyone else ) I think we (those who are American) have an obligation to push for BHO to do the right thing, and part of that is figuring out what the right thing is.
The poster is an admitted opponent of the president and nowhere in the post did he refer to the president as President Obama or Mr. Obama or even Obama or Barrack. He only uses acronyms. "
what should PUSA be doing? Currently he appears to be voting president."
"As loyal opposition (me) or supporters of BHO (everyone else )." And lets face it, neither use is exactly flattering and BHO is used to emphasize the H as in Hussein which opponents of the president love doing to passively aggresively portray the president as Muslim.
If you think I'm not being wise in mentioning it or that I'm just splitting hairs, fine. But I still contend that it was the intent to show disrespect to the president and not just to save time writing the words "President" or "President Obama" or "Obama". Especially given the fact that the poster had no problem spelling out the words "Dinner Jacket" in order to disparage the president of Iran.
