Hey man don't get so worked up about your thread being removed, you aren't the first and I'm sure you won't be the last. I wholeheardedly agree with your take on obama, but whether you intended to or not there seemed to be political overtones in the thread, on both sides of the argument. I am surprised it wasn't removed earlier. Griffo is right - these political discussions always start out friendly enough and then escalate to a point where someone ends up pissed off/leaves/banned. I would just let it go... (was going to PM you, but you have them turned off...)
