Is Obama a narcissist?

[Hauldren Collider]

Being pedantic must be a sign of intelligence then

Honestly gribbler I'm not sure what made you stoop to the levels of stupidity to reject my argument on the grounds of being pedantic, but you have managed to derail the argument into whether or not it was actually pedantic, which I must say is impressively Ben-worthy.

Speaking of Obama jokes, his quip about Predator drones at the Correspondents dinner was pretty awesome for a Nobel Peace Prize Winner:

Here's what the President said:
The Jonas Brothers are here; they’re out there somewhere. Sasha and Malia are huge fans; but boys, don’t get any ideas. Two words for you: predator drones. You will never see it coming. You think I’m joking?

Nonsense. It has everything to with it. Why else would it be news?

LOL ***.

By the way, Reagan also actively denied his Irish heritage because he was afraid it would alienate US voters.

Source?

The point was that Obama's sense of humor is directly related to his ability as a president. However, he's not a performing monkey. He has a serious job that requires serious seriousness. Without that we would all be homeless and missing teeth.

HAHA. Nice one. Only if you told that to Obama a year ago.

Like a true pedant, you take everything seriously.

"My argument was dumb so I'll just fall back and claim it was all a joke anyway!" Except the joke wasn't funny. So then that makes it just...dumb...

You seem awfully upset about this.

I was just jerking you around. And it worked.

[Hauldren Collider]

I am upset. I had higher expectations of you, i.e., actually being smart. Now they have been trashed. It's extremely disappointing

Your jerking around consisted of saying things that were blatantly false then sticking to your guns. Your grand master scheme was to say something stupid and then continue when I pointed out they were stupid. This is hardly a Xanatos Gambit.

Now you know how I felt, when I realized you're just a DL.

Aren't we all you DL.

Name calling worked surprisingly well

I see you're trying to implement it by calling me dumb. nice try

[giblets]

Actually, HC might have a point. Only a moron would say something that isn't serious.

[Hauldren Collider]

Okay, the more this goes on, and the more gribbler painfully misrepresents what I am saying because he misunderstands what precisely makes something witty, the more this feels straight out of the Argument Clinic sketch. Monty Python did it first and they did it better.

[giblets]

All this because I called you pedantic? Okay HC, you win, you're not a pedant. (but you are a DL )

I had no idea Drake was a Chinaman.

He's a chink bastard if ever I saw one.

It wasn't a joke. It's all facts.
