That seemed to piss you off, so I thought I would poke you with a stick 
It's all good. It is GFY after all. I know we don't always agree politically, but that doesn't mean I don't respect you and respect the fact that you have a point of view and are willing to defend it. |
often times at teh gfy adding in a fuck here and there and such stimulates the dialogue, not to be confused with pissed off. like you said, it's gfy after all.
so back to the op, sure they are 2 different statements. i get that. that's not my point. my point is it's all about choice of verbiage. as i mentioned previously, i feel that both men did not articulate their view properly. the word "gang-banger" doesn't help illustrate the issue BO was trying to advance, which was better border security. Just like Trump's exclaiming "rapists...and i assume some are good people" distracts from his wanting a wall.
different statements, similar poor choice of how to state the statement. I expect more from my President, the one i voted for and I expect more from a Presidential candidate.
