I, for one, think it might be nice if folks showed the office of the President a little respect, and referred to the person holding said office in respectful terms, even if he doesn't fulfill your political wet dreams.
But I guess that's just me.

I just assumed people who used stupid ways to combine an insult with someone's name were just trying to let you know how foolish they are.

Are you just being respectful because everything said from now until forever will be archived by the government?

That's a fair assumption. I shall work under this assumption henceforth.
No!
yes
The dude advertised himself as a sort of progressive savior and he's anything but. He's probably worse than Bush at this point. Fuck him.

We stopped doing that whole call the president "The President" thing about a generation ago.
Some of them are funny (for what they are). Obummer. How can you not like that one? Moochelle Obummer. C'mon man. That's funny.
Tuco just rustled because Turdco is REALLY funny. He's like the COO of a company. That makes Turds. And he kinda is. fake-foh is an undeniable turd factory.

Just tellin ya something you don't wanna hear, numbro, but you need to hear it.
I respect the office of the president and I respect that the man has earned the presidency and the right/authority/responsiblities of that office. But he's just a man, being sworn in doesn't make him a god, and I hardly respect every decision he makes. Focusing derision at the man rather than the office, while it causes some collateral damage to the office, is better than focusing derision at the office itself. It's "President Obummer" not "Derpident Obama".
He called travon his son, dude. Dude. Duuuuuuude. You don't get a pass on that.
For the hardcore dittoheads who genuinely believe that he's some sort of dictator and will argue that every time he takes a leak it's unconstitutional... well. Well then.

I don't think I've ever seen the combination of some lame euphemism for the president ever combined with a well thought out, original and educated statement.
Saying that people who use the term "Obummer" are low-browed is not the same as saying that Pres. Obama hasn't done anything worth criticism (he has). I have the same opinion about W Bush.

It was humorous and appropriately respectful when we called President George W Bush 'W', or 'dubya', wasn't it? I'm just trying to keep that lightheartedness going. Also, it's shorter and I don't want to waste electrons typing his entire name everytime I talk about him. I don't understand why libtards are suddenly so sensitive about fun little abbreviations.

Or, perhaps there are some people who, regardless of their political affiliations, never stoop to this level, and never called President Bush 'dubya.'
You know, it's possible.
But, please. Continue showing me how classy everyone can be by using "clever" names for the President.

All true, and i'm not even going to argue against basic fuckingpoliteness and respect.
But you can be every bit as low-brow and use big words. Pay attention to the substance rather than the style. That the substance is like to be worse from someone typing in some ridiculous parody of the english language and utilizing simple unrefined satire -- sure.
But go read some George Will (whom I sort of love, tbh). You can be erudite and a complete fucking shitbrain at the same time. If I'm gonna be a shitbrain I ain't looking to put a lot of effort into the affair. That's how Colbert makes his money, not me.

The employer mandate was adjusted to hit after the 2014 election to ensure that Democrats had a chance in the 2014 election. Had the mandate hit now, like it was supposed to, 80 million people would have lost their insurance.
But that's an aside, there's nothing in the law that permitted KS to change the date. She just did it knowing that no one was likely to sue, and if someone did, it would take a year to wind through the courts so it was unlikely to get overturned before the election was past.
