To be more specific, constantly branding me Racist since debating Obama as unqualified and backed by a rogue's gallery of Clintonite losers isn't going to motivate me to defend the baseless absurdity.
But with repetition of doing that, you'll cement my notions of you three as an Unholy Trio of Mental Defects.
I'll probably stop replying at that point, and select Hide Usernames so I'm not distracted by screen pollution of your text's noise.Comment

Unless Obama took the picture himself, he doesn't own the rights.
Let's drop it down a notch to your 3rd grade level of understanding: Peter Parker takes a photo of Spiderman and tries to sell it. JJonah Jameson says "You can't sell a photo of Spiderman, it belongs to everybody" and throws him out.
This scenario never happened because we have what's called a "copy-write". That means, the man who took the picture owns the right to reproduce it.
Now then children, can anyone tell me what would you do if a man running for President asked you to loan your photograph of him? You would let him use it wouldn't you, because publicity pictures are the best pictures, and people will see your work as the Best Work.
But what happens when that person takes your Best Work and suddenly starts to sell your Best Work? Is that fair kids, nooo-o-o-oo, of course it's not fair. That's not his Best Work to sell when you loaned it to be used only for promoting and campaigning.
Children can you now tell me what the value of your Best Work is when you try to sell it, and it's already flooded in the marketplace: slathered on lapel buttons for $5.95, bumper stickers sold for $12.95 or three for $20.00 or made into posters for $29.99?
That's right kids, your Best Work is now your Worst Work because you can't make one dollar from it. That's called "plagiarism" and the damages to your Best Work are called "distress" because the value to it has been sucked like a vaccum from your pocket, into the new President's pocket.
And that's not fair.Comment

This things' going to be in litigation for ten years. The AP and the photographer need to find out how much money's been made, then ask for 75% and settle for a half and that's alot of prelims for findings, attempts to dismiss, and further clownings on both parts to embarass the other party.
Obama the fuckin' Lawyerball Player will take it to jury trial, where he stands a good chance of his winning smile bulldozing the protected right we take for granted everyday of the year, some live their whole lives off it.
But if he loses, he could face treble damage penalties for unfair profit at the expense of the infringement, then thru several courts of appeal only to reduce the awarded amount by 80 cents on the dollar, a far worser scenario based on an equal 50-50 division of poster and buttons bullshit sales.
I think he'll try the first two years to placate the AP with promises of future sweet access against the threats of cutting them out of White House briefings completely, at which case a burned AP will go very very negative and conservative. OR the AP will settle for 2 cents on a supplied dollar-figure given for the sake of the photographer and lesser guarantees of special access.
But the media gets access anyways! I can't believe this guy's dick isn't photographed going to the bathroom, he's shadowed so much.Comment

The mere fact you put it into quotes though cracks me the fuck up
It's much easier to be condescending when you know what the fuck you're even talking about, LibraryBoy.

I'm attacking you for being such an unmitigated douche bag.
You get on your high horse, and talk down to people in your condescending way, with your air quotes and "now then children" bullshit, coupled with your Spiderman analogy, only to not even know the correct term
My advice? Stay in the library. You could use some book learnin'.
idiot.

I apologize for "speaking" in such a way as if one were to address an unmitigated clit.

I was sure you could figure out the "big words" but I wasn't certain you could put the whole thought together. Forgive me.Comment
