(17,505 posts)Apostrophe "s" is left over from Old English, which was a reflexive language meaning suffixes told you what part of speech the word was. In this instance the genitive case (a noun modifying another noun...usually possessive) added "es" ( I think Scandinavian languages still do this) but the "e" was eventually dropped, shown by the apostrophe.
The Normans tried to get rid of it and replace it with a prepositional phrase (the a$$ of Obama) like in French, but that didn't stick.
Here you have used the plural form of Obama.
We don't need any more than one. Even if they are in the form of a white woman with a familiar name.
He sure is much MUCH better than any of the alternatives offered in the last election, but....well he admires Reagan
Education is the key to reversing this! (That's why I went on an obnoxious, but I think interesting, exposition of apostrophe "s" y'know. I'm sure it was just a typo )
