It may escape the erudition of the NY Times but when I object to a statement such as "the program to charge your grandchildren's grandchildren for the egoistical excesses of the Democratic party has been approved by Pelosi, Reid, and I" it isn't because of the grammar.

And using ‘impact’ as a transitive verb.

This is fair game when dealing with a malignant narcissist whom the MSM has labeled “brilliant”.

For centuries, it was perfectly acceptable to use either I or me as the object of a verb or preposition, Democrats and the lefties are always bitching about how we have to live in the 21st Century and the Constitution is a "living document" that should evolve.
Now they defend the idiotONE's speech patterns based on centuries old grammar rules?
Fine, the right will back off on what an idiot Obama is when speaking english when the left starts understanding and interpreting the Constitution according to 1600's patterned English. Let's start with a couple of phrases
"shall not be infringed" and "well regulated" ....

Yes, I’m sure he’s thinking of Shakespeare when he makes these gaffes.But that’s OK, as obama himself would say, “It’s not that big of a deal.”

This passes for serious analysis of Obama and his policy at the NY Times. I can't wait for the next ground breaking story the Times runs on the socialist impostor sitting in the White House.

The rule here, according to conventional wisdom, is that we use I as a subject and me as an object, whether the pronoun appears by itself or in a twosome. Thus every I in those quotes ought... According to conventional wisdom???? No, genius, according to the rules of grammar.

When President Obama speaks before Congress and the nation tonight, he will be facing some of his toughest critics. Grammar junkies. Whoa. Stop right there! Who said we'd be watching?

His favorite word these days is “CRISIS”. How I long for just one of Reagan’s speeches today, being positive and doing REAL things to back it up. Sigh . . . (a tear falls) . . .

To: reaganaut1
Clinton made the same mistake in one of the debates in the general election in 1992 and no one called him on it.
I have a button with a saying attributed to King Sigismund the First:
Ego sum rex Romanus et super grammaticam.
"I am the Roman king and above grammar."
(That's probably the Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund, 1410-1437, the one who gave John Huss a safe-conduct but didn't honor it).
To: reaganaut1
Which is gramactically correct.
Me lost 50% of my 401K or,
I lost 50% of my 401K
You know, with all the challenges we face, the focus of the article is grammer????
That’s the drive by media for you
