The world in turmoil and Obozo busy picking the Presidential Brackets.....


If you had taken the time to read it you would have noticed that from November of 2012(when it was published) until now, not much has changed as it relates to the amount of "time off" that the current President has taken compared to his predecessors. So here is a cut and paste from the same article for those of you who are so obsessed with wishing for him to fail:

2. Obama has taken more vacation time than any president in history
This isn't even remotely accurate either, but first, some context from Nancy Reagan: "Presidents don't get vacations — they just get a change of scenery. The job goes with you." The responsibilities, the pressure, the officer with the "nuclear football" — it's all with a commander-in-chief at all times. No exceptions.

But how much time away from the White House has President Obama spent, and how does this compare with predecessors?

POTUS Tracker, compiled by The Washington Post,*shows that from January 2009 to October 31, 2012, Obama spent all or part of 72 vacation days in a variety of places, mostly Hawaii in the winter and Martha's Vineyard in the summer. That's about 10 weeks away in three-and-a-half years, hardly extravagant. Through May 18, according to data from CBS's Knoller, he also visited Camp David 22 times, spending all of part of 54 days there.

What about his predecessors?

·*In 1798, President John Adams left the capital for seven months to care for his ailing wife Abigail; his enemies said he practically relinquished his office.

·*Thomas Jefferson and James Madison routinely went away for three- and four-month stretches.*

·*Abraham Lincoln, during the Civil War, was blasted for spending about 25 percent of his time away from the White House.

·*Dwight Eisenhower took long summer breaks in Denver and spent almost every single weekend at Camp David.

·*John F. Kennedy rarely spent a weekend in the White House, staying at family homes in Palm Beach, Hyannis Port, and the Virginia countryside.

·*Lyndon Johnson spent 484 days in five and a half years at his Texas ranch.

·*Ronald Reagan was away for 436 days, usually at Rancho del Cielo (his mountaintop retreat in California) or Camp David.

·*Bill Clinton, who didn't own a vacation home, loved to party with his elite friends in Martha's Vineyard and the Hamptons.** *

·*George W. Bush spent 32 months at his ranch (490 days) or Camp David (487 days) — an average of four months away every year.

Time off doesn't mean goofing off. President Bush, for example, met with a variety of foreign leaders at his ranch. President Obama held a G-8 summit at Camp David. Just like you might check your email while sitting on the beach (you fool, you), presidents never really unplug. But if anyone deserves a vacation, it is the person who serves in the world's most stressful and demanding job.
 
George W. Bush and the Republicans did nothing when Putin went into Georgia.

Meanwhile Obama's latest sanction move just tanked blue chip stocks in Russia. So, Obozo is allowed to pick his brackets. Contrary to the morons on the right, he's actually the tough guy on Russia whereas they were not.

Actually they did. They sent U.S. Navy Warships to Georgian Ports and started installing the missile defense system that Obama cancelled the day he took office. Part of Obama's, "Be nice to the MAN and he'll be nice to us", policy.

And you forget sooo fast, the Democrats had control of both Houses of Congress and an impeachment Bill was ready to cram through if Bush sent one combat soldier to Georgia.

Can you reference that impeachment bill?

Acting as Commander in Chief has never been an impeachable offense (unless a Democrat is in office)

You can't see your feet over your stomach!
 
Spending time away from the white house is the least of obama's exhibited laziness. When he's there he's not there. It's more fun talking to Ryan Seacrest about whether or not the mom jeans flatter him enough. In a rare moment of honesty, obama told Ellen that he was just bored with the job. That's what the real problem is, no matter where obama actually is, his head is somewhere else.
 
So much for any kind of LASER LIKE FOCUS on ANYTHING that is important to our, and the world's safety! All this guy gives a damn about is HIMSELF, his GOLF GAME, and BASKETBALL!

Look on the bright side, If he is busy picking his brackets, that means he has less time to screw up something else in government.
So let's be thankful for March Madness and even his golf games and vacations.

I don't understand Obama. Is he really that clueless politically?

Doesn't he realize that if he makes a March Madness Bracket that FoxNews will complain and hundreds of rightwing posters will start threads about it?

Doesn't he realize that if he takes a vacation FoxNews will broadcast how much it costs and hundreds of posters will complain about it?

Doesn't he realize that if he plays golf Conservatives will keep track of how many rounds he has played in the last five years and we will get more threads?


Obama needs to realize that he needs to just stay home and not give the appearance that he has a personal life......it offends conservatives

he cant stay home either.....Vigilante will complain he is shit showering and shaving....with a meal thrown in there somewhere....

Obama just doesn't get it

If only he would listen to Conservatives, FoxNews and the rightwing media would stop picking at everything he does

Why can't he be more perfect?
 
He picked games, he went on The Herd, blah, blah, blah.

I don't see this as a big deal, it really doesn't matter.

Bush took vacations, that didn't bother me, they are never really away from work.

My job doesn't leave me, I'm always accessible, days off or not.

There is really much bigger things that I have issues with Obama.
 
obama has just lost interest in the job. That's all this is. He's bored, it's too much for him. He never did like working anyway.

Obamacare May Be Failing the Uninsured

The entire goal of Obamacare was to expand health coverage to the uninsured—but the majority of people who have signed up for Obamacare already had insurance.

That’s according to a new survey from the McKinsey consulting firm, which found that just 27 percent of the 4 million Obamacare enrollees were previously uninsured. That means that the majority of those signing up for Obamacare had previous insurance of some kind—whether they were kicked off their old policies, or they found a better deal on the exchanges.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/obamacare-may-failing-uninsured-101500339.html

And the point of this survey is what? The Affordable Healthcare Care went to into effect in January. How can a program that is is meant to be a process over time be deemed a failure in less than 90 days. At best, that is an alarmist reaction by those who actually WANT the initiative fail.

Outside of that if people have obtained BETTER rates under the new system and 27 % of those were previously uninsured, that is still not a failure.

Simply because it hasn't come anywhere near it stated goal of getting 7 million PREVIOUSLY uninsured, INSURED. Only a little over a million have done so and the deadline is in less than 2 weeks....BUT I'm sure the Manchurian muslim will unconstitutionally CHANGE the law again to extend that period of time! In the meantime over 5 million people that were insured have had their policies cancelled, and the full effects of this law on most won't be felt until 2015 now, as the poser has held off the law unconstitutionally by pushing implementation back again!

BTW...Insurers see double-digit Obamacare price rises in many states next year

http://news.yahoo.com/insurers-see-double-digit-obamacare-price-rises-many-183202166--sector.html

Even if this program was 100% flawless, there are still those who would find fault with it.....simply because it is called "Obamacare". As far as "not attaining the goal" it looks like as the deadline approaches, people are waiting until the last minute to sign up, which for the most part is human nature to procrastinate on anything that involves a change.

Pace of health insurance enrollment picks up as Affordable Care Act deadline nears - The Washington Post
 
and who is that?.....Republicans?....Conservatives?.....Democrats?.....Liberals?....WHO are those PEOPLE?....

The RIGHT!

the Republicans?....thats ok Vig.....you can let a fucking Party tell you whats what.....ill do my own thinking....

Harry, when you agree with most of their platform, and you disagree with most of what the subversives have to offer, it's a no brainer, to thinking people!

Wrong again harry, Bush wasn't a Conservative, he was in the mold of Mclame, and McRomney! BUT he was a better pick than both Igore, and liar & traitor Kerry!
