Good video, but what makes you say obama has chosen to reject and ignore it?

And by saying that he's rejected AND ignored it, you're saying that he's acknowledged it and took action, yet ignored it. So, which is it?

That's incorrect, Spidey.

To reject something is a course of action; to be fully aware of an event and choosing to dismiss it. Ignoring it is to be vaguely aware of it and doing nothing further.

Lol, I do it all of the time with slick’s threads.

First I look at them and dismiss what it says, then I proceed to ignore them.

:P

which means you're already aware of them in the first place! ;D

"I refuse to acknowledge your claim!" "your claim is what now?"
