Breaking news: Obama takes vacation! Republicans outraged!

[Synthaholic]

Breaking news! Obama restarts the Iraq War and then goes on vacation!

You praised Bush for doing that very thing, wingnut.

 

[guno]

This is different than when they were outraged at his Christmas vacation and when they were outraged at last summers vacation and the summer before that and the summer before that

They are really outraged this time

And they really mean it this time!!!

Until next time

 

[Kosh]

Then why the comment about children being beheaded while Obama golfs?

Can not handle the simple facts as Obama goes off to play golf, children are beheaded, are you saying it is not true?

The far left will do all they can to protect this president and they can not admit to being voting for worse than Bush twice.

So? How is it our problem?

Wasn't Ghaddafi killing innocent people throughout Reagan and Bush's terms in office? Is that Reagan and Bush's fault?

Again the far left will do all it can to defend Obama and his illegal actions in Iraq.

 

[Kosh]

It is my understanding that Obama is the first president to ever take vacation.

What the hell are we paying him for.

Not what we heard from the far left from 2000 -2009.

My how times change and the memories get erased for new far left propaganda.

Would you like to compare Obama and Bush vacation days?

Wasn't Bush on vacation for 1/3 of his presidency?

Once again the far left comparisons do not match the reality of the situation.

Like claiming the number of EO's orders written by the presidents.

It is not the number it is the content or this case context. Something the far left does not understand.

Wonder what GW thinks of all this..

 

[ThoughtCrimes]

give it up already

you snob/Obama butt kissers today were the ones whining about his vacations back when Bush was President

and they went to THEIR HOME

not Hawaii every year for 17 DAYS

the Obama's have forgotten they EVEN own a home..why should they bother when they can hose us

Since you have mentioned both President Bush and President Obama with regard to their time away from the WH, and criticized only one, I'm thinkin' both sides should be presented to some extent, in kinda Faux News unfair and unbalanced manner.

Wow, Obama has the audacity to vacation for 17 straight days in Hawaii...OH THE HUMANITY! The American people deserve better. (one side observed)

Now what would you say if Obama had spent 42 straight days away from the WH? I'd bet you'd be frothing at the mouth with moral indignation, huh Steph!

But of course Obama has never done that, but his predecessor did that very thing when he camped out at his ranch in Crawford, TX in 2005. During that time in Crawford, Bush visited the Pueblo El Mirage RV and Golf Resort to boost his Medicare drug plan the day after Katrina destroyed the Gulf Coast, and waited a day or two more before going back to his job.

The Bush vacation and "retreat" time during his eight years in the WH totaled 977 days or 1/3 of his presidency; 490 days in Crawford, TX and 487 days at Camp David.

I'm not trying to make a moral equivalency argument here at all, just pointing out the contrasts between the two Presidents you mentioned and your implication of single sided malfeasance. I don't know if 17 days a year is too much vacation for a sitting President, but I do know that a President who is away from the WH for 977 days in 8 years for vacations and "retreats" is grossly inexcusable and indefensible. To attack one with far less time away from his job and ignoring the other is hypocritical!

oh the hell you're not
now, I'm not trying to make a moral equivalency argument, oh no not I.
wow give yourself a medal

What ever you do Steph, never acknowledge the totality of a post to you. Always retain that knee jerk response to exonerate yourself of ignorance! You are the one that mentioned both only to stick it to Obama. I simply made the comparison to highlight your incompetence in dealing with the truth/facts! But never take responsibility for your issues, Steph!

As far as I know, he has, overall, taken less vacation time than GW did, so why are they outraged? Oh yeah. It's because it is Obama.

[blackhawk]

A leftwinger starts another thread about rightwingers being outraged shocking just shocking.

It sounded pathetic and contrived.. My dog could have belted out better howls while taking a dump in the neighbors bushes <Pun intended> and sound more sincere..

 

[blackhawk]

I fully support Obama taking vacations in fact I think he should double or even triple the number he takes.

 

[Jackson]

I agree.

[Dot Com]

Establishment & t party have to keep their low-info voters mesmerized w/ SOME shiny object: Obama to Vacation, Republicans to Grumble - US News

 

[Zander]

Nobody is outraged.

This is just another fundraising ploy for the DNC......

 

[boedicca]

Breaking news! Obama restarts the Iraq War and then goes on vacation!

You praised Bush for doing that very thing, wingnut.

I call shenanigans.

I dare you to find one post where I praised Bush for starting the Iraq war and then going on vacation.
