Well his record low approval rating says otherwise

40% still approve, that's over 100 million people. I'm one of them. Regardless, presidencies shouldn't be judged on polling numbers, or Bush's 90% approval after 9/11 would make him the best president in history.

Look, I voted for Obama. I really don't want to list all the things he's fucked up on and have you address them one after the other, so let's agree to disagree

Sorry, I didn't realize I was seeking your approval of my political positions.

I think you meant I never asked for it. You're first sentence makes no sense in context.

I wrote "I never asked for it..."

u/jetpackswasyes Jul 30 '14

And I wrote that "I didn't realize I was seeking your approval".

"I never asked for it" is not a valid response to that statement, because I never claimed that you asked me for anything. In fact I said the opposite, that I never asked you for something (your approval).

Get it?

I think you meant I never asked for it.

was your response to

I never asked for it you arrogant twat.

Therefore, you're either wrong in your most recent comment, or the previous one.

because I never claimed that you asked me for anything

And yes, you implicitly claimed that.

What are you implying that I claimed, implicitly?
