Zero also has trouble with big words, such as "fulsome" and "enormity".

Almost everyone misspeaks, and I'm not being fair to Obama. As one of the "rich" who pay income taxes, he's not fair to me either.

I am sure he would get it right in his mother tongue, Arabic.

You'd think a Columbia and Harvard educated Messiah could get this right.

So the President was born in the 17th century?

Makes as much sense as anything else he’s said.

That's as bad as Eric Holder and his reference to “a effnik metting pot”.

I barely heard the rest of his self-pitying, chip-on-his-shoulder diatribe, because I was laughing so hard from that, I almost missed his “nation of cowards” comment.

If you only read his comments in the adoring press, you'd never know how he really said it. But, if you listen to his actual comment, you get to hear what how marginally literate he truly is.

The second most powerful C-Student in America.

He also occasionally misuses indefinite articles "a" and "an", for example:

'It was a unintentional omission.'

This is especially likely to happen if he inserts a mellifluous "uh" between the "a" and "unintentional".

But GWB is the uneducated moron...

I ain’t falling for this. I don’t care about his grammar, I care about his Marxism. They wish they could get us to fight about his grammar.

It may escape the erudition of the NY Times but when I object to a statement such as "the program to charge your grandchildren's grandchildren for the egoistical excesses of the Democratic party has been approved by Pelosi, Reid, and I" it isn't because of the grammar.

This is fair game when dealing with a malignant narcissist whom the MSM has labeled “brilliant”.

For centuries, it was perfectly acceptable to use either “I” or “me” as the object of a verb or preposition,

Democrats and the lefties are always bitching about how we have to live in the 21st Century and the Constitution is a "living document" that should evolve.

Now they defend the idiotONE's speech patterns based on centuries old grammar rules?

Fine, the right will back off on what an idiot Obama is when speaking english when the left starts understanding and interpreting the Constitution according to 1600's patterned English. Let's start with a couple of phrases

"shall not be infringed" and "well regulated" ....

The rule here, according to conventional wisdom, is that we use “I” as a subject and “me” as an object, whether the pronoun appears by itself or in a twosome. Thus every “I” in those quotes ought...

According to conventional wisdom???? No, genius, according to the rules of grammar.

When President Obama speaks before Congress and the nation tonight, he will be facing some of his toughest critics. Grammar junkies.

Whoa. Stop right there! Who said we'd be watching?

Clinton made the same mistake in one of the debates in the general election in 1992 and no one called him on it.

I have a button with a saying attributed to King Sigismund the First:

Ego sum rex Romanus et super grammaticam.

"I am the Roman king and above grammar."

(That's probably the Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund, 1410-1437, the one who gave John Huss a safe-conduct but didn't honor it).

Which is gramactically correct.
Me lost 50% of my 401K or,
I lost 50% of my 401K

You know, with all the challenges we face, the focus of the article is grammer????

That’s the drive by media for you

My goodness. This is elementary school grammar.

If George Bush was a butcher of the English language for his mispronunciations, usually in the heat of the moment, then Obama is more guilty. His is a constant grammatical mistake.

Using the GWB standard for determining intellect, I hereby declare that Obama is an idiot.
