As Iraq Burns, Obama Vacations: 'Roll Up Your Sleeves and Get Back to Work

[teapartysamurai]

Yesterday as President Obama discussed the most recent limited airstrikes in Iraq, the backdrop was his helicopter, on which his bags were packed for yet another vacation in Martha's Vineyard.

And as though we shouldn't be concerned - he said this: "My team has been vigilant even before ISIL went into Mosul about foreign fighters and jihadists gathering in Syria and now in Iraq who might potentially launch outside the region against western and U.S. targets."

With all due respect, Mr. President - if your team had been vigilant - why wait so long? Why the selective outrage and why now? 170 thousand murdered in Syria.

Your red lines violated repeatedly. Our sworn enemies now proficient in the art of war.

If you've been vigilant - why is it that you turned a blind eye to the Syrian civil war next door now spilling into Iraq and Lebanon.

Your feckless foreign policy at work yet again.

And shall we remember all the Democrats who voted for this war INCLUDING JOHN KERRY AND HILLARY CLINTON?????????

You have a point there, but considering some are trying to blame Republicans in Congress for this mess, (*cough, cough*) it might be nice to remind some people, who exactly, is the Commander-in-Chief.

ok !!

"President Barack Obama "has taken 92 days of vacation since he was sworn in," compared to 367 for President George W. Bush at the same point in his presidency."

'Mostly True'

Our ruling

Sharpton said that Obama "has taken 92 days of vacation since he was sworn in," compared to 367 for President George W. Bush at the same point in his presidency. While this discrepancy is explained by the fact that Bush often worked from a family home in Texas whereas Obama has no equivalent family retreat, Sharpton has correctly cited data from the leading authority, CBS News’ Mark Knoller. The statement is accurate but needs clarification or additional information, so we rate the statement Mostly True.



Sucks when the facts come out huh.

 

[Moonglow]

Bombs are flying
People are dying
Children are crying
Politicians are lying too.

Cancer is killing
Texaco's spilling
The whole world's gone to hell
But how are you?

I'm super
Thanks for asking
All things considered
I couldn't be better I must say

I'm feeling super
No, nothing bugs me
Everything is super when you're
Don't you think I look cute in this hat

I'm so sorry
Mr. Cripple
But I just can't feel too bad for you right now.
Because I'm feeling
So insanely super
That even the fact that you can't walk
Can't bring me down

Background singers:
He's super
Thanks for asking
All things considered
He couldn't be better he must say

Big Gay Al:
I'm super
No, nothing bugs me
Everything is super when you're
Don't you think I look cute in this hat
These little pants, this matching tie
That I got at Merv's

I'm super

Background singers:
In the barracks and the trenches as well

Big Gay Al:
Stick 'em up.

Background singers:
Big Gay Al says do ask do tell

Big Gay Al:
Skittles

Background singers:
Yes he's super and he's proud to be gay

Big Gay Al:
OK

Background singers:
Everything is super when you're gay!
When you're gay!

A USMB nutter is primarily concerned with "poli-optics"? I'm shocked?

 

[R.C. Christian]

I wonder if 1st Tranny lets it all hang out at Maaaaatha's Vineyard?

 

[Stephanie]

He's not worried about anything, he's helped screw up another country so all is going well

Libya, Syria, Iraq, Russia is rearing up and he's working on us

what can't the president do while on 'vacation' that he could at the WH?

Be in the situation room.

But all is not lost. The intrepid Susan Rice is with him telling him all he needs to know.

We have these devices nowadays that we call computers. I even hear there is this magical communication device called a phone that has been all the rage recently. I wonder if the President has one.
