When people spell "Obama" with a zero instead of an "O", what do they mean?

I don't get it. Is it clever in some very subtle way? Or is it just something dumb like "He's a zero. HAHAHAHAHA!"

Is it a math thing?

    Don't expect creativity from a group of people who decided tea-bagging would be a good PR move. Ever met a republican artist or comedian? Now why is that?

    It’s part of the dumbed-down approach to current politics by showing puerile disrespect for the President. The ones using it are children who think it is funny.

    No, YA moderates all questions with Obama written in the title. Its a loophole

    That's his effective IQ.

    Effective IQ is that portion of a person's actual IQ that he chooses to use on a regular basis.

    Obama is choosing to use ZERO of his above-average IQ.

    Just like Jimmy Carter did.

    So even though his natural IQ is over 100, he is using none of it, so his effective IQ is 0.

    That's what makes him 0bama.

    It means that they want me to thumbs down anyone who agrees with them.

    It means that they haven't figured out how to put a - in front of it yet.

    It means they are idiots and don't know how to type or spell.

  • As near as I can tell by reading the questions and answers of those who do that, they are indicating their own IQ.

    They are no smarter than children. Childish insults are the best they can do.
