"I'm sorry my president's an idiot.

That should be, "...my president is an idiot".

There is no possesive sense possible here. It doesn't surprise me these pseudo-intellectuals don't know english.

You used incorrect punctuation. For American English, the end quotation mark should have gone after the period: "...my president is an idiot."

There is no possesive sense possible here. It doesn't surprise me these pseudo-intellectuals don't know english.

The shirt doesn't use or imply possessive. "President's" is a contraction of "president" and "is," the same as the "I'm" on that shirt is a contraction of the words "I" and "am."

Now having said that, let me go on record as saying the T-shirt is an abomination.

The T-shirt I'd like to see would bear azGOPgal's tagline:
