Why haven't the conservatives in Congress cut short their vacation to deal with Iraq?

Again, it wasn't a declaration of war. It was a resolution giving Bush the power to invade as a last resort, if all diplomatic efforts failed and if the inspectors determined there were WMDs.

It was sold at the time as a resolution to not tie the president's hands, not to go to war.

Ah, so it isn't a factual debate, it's parsing words. Ok, I understand now. Carry on.


No parsing. The entire Rightwing machine was unified in their message, 24/7, that we could not tie the Commander in Chief's hands when he is trying to fight a War On Terror. The authorization to use force is not a declaration of force. It authorized Bush to use force if he decided all other options had been exhausted.
"To authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq"

What point do you think you make when you say "The authorization to use force is not a declaration of force"?
 
And he isn't on vacation. No president ever is.

Unless you want to argue that they are no longer in control if they are not actually in the White House.

I'd love to hear you make that argument.

Mr. Vacation himself, George W. Bush, would probably tell you that he didn't have his first actual vacation, where he could totally relax, until he left office. Every president would tell you that.

How many continuing resolutions did the Republicans pass under Bush to keep the war money flowing, all off-book so they could dump it on the next president?
None. All spending bills are "on the books".

No it wasn't.

They used an accounting trick. They called it "Emergency Supplemental Spending."

It wasn't added on to the budget deficit until after Obama came into office.
 
Two bad you got owned by the video.
Sucks.
Don't.
It.
Oh look -- a lie. Surprise surprise.
None of the videos you posted supported the claims you made, and you know it.
If you don't watch them or speak English..you might have a point.
But of course, they are on record.
It doesn't matter how much you pretend otherwise - you and I both know that those video clips do not support your claims.
 
Vote for public financing.

In 2008, Mr. Obama became the first major-party nominee to forgo public funding for both the nominating and general election stages. Had he participated in the public financing system, he would have been limited to spending $50.5 million during the nominating process, in addition to the $84.1 million he would have received for the general election. Apparently, he didn't like the idea of public financing.
So?

So, if you can't get YOUR candidates to accept the limitations of public funding, why should anyone else accept the limitations of public funding?

I'm saying that Congress should make it the law.

Until then, no one is going to purposely handicap themselves. If he had, you'd be saying he doesn't have the common sense to be POTUS.

He doesn't. He doesn't have the common sense to flip burgers at Mickey D's

When then.

Common sense is not needed for POTUS. It is however needed for flipping burgers.

Glad we've established that.
 

Will you PULEEEZ stop posting stuff like this!!! It is impossible for the Obamabots to disclaim.

What's "Impossible" to disclaim.

It was an "esoteric" argument. The President was pointing out that the life he was about to embark on, filters into every aspect on a President's being. Into his/her vacations, family, sleep..everything. A president gives up privacy. The President lives in a fishbowl.

Why it's so hard to understand, is beyond me.
 
Well, it's pretty hypocritical Sallow bringing up Republicans going on vacation when OBAMA IS ON VACATION TOO! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Liberals are so laser focused on their hate for conservatives they can't see the obvious.

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Here's a newsflash for ya, TP.

Obama cut his vacation short to work on this.

Republicans in Congress? Naw.

Couldn't have that.

And Obama STILL has less vacation time in than President Bush.

:D


Yeah nice try Sallow:

Supporters of Barack Obama tout his dedication to the responsibilities of the presidency by noting that he had taken 96 days of vacation at the point in his term that President George W. Bush had taken a reported 335.

But they admit that 51 of Bush’s trips were to his Texas ranch, while records show that Obama’s destinations have ranged from exotic European and African locales to pricey digs to Hawaii, where he’s sometimes traveled separately from his family, effectively doubling transportation costs for taxpayers.

Disturbing truth behind Obama?s travel madness

And while Bush spent more time outside of Washington than Obama, it is also worth nothing that nearly all of Bush's vacations were trips back to his Texas ranch or family vacation homes in Maine.

The Post, in 2005, conceded that Bush's vacations--unlike Obama's--were not lavish and he did not "make time for fun."

"Bush rarely takes the type of vacation one would consider exotic -- or, to some, even appealing," the Post wrote. "His notion of relaxation is chopping cedar on his ranch or mountain biking through rough terrain, all in 100-degree-plus temperatures in dusty Texas where crickets are known to roast on the summer pavement. He seems to relish the idea of exposing aides and reporters to the hothouse environment."

Obama, on the other hand, has traveled to Hawaii every winter. The Obama daughters are vacationing at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas this week with a full Secret Service detail, as Breitbart News reported, even as the White House claimed they could not afford to pay Secret Service agents to continue the popular White House tours for other students who are on their spring vacations in Washington, D.C.

Media Ignores Lavish Obama Vacations, Slammed Bush for Mountain Biking

And Bush's vacations at the Ranch were WORKING VACATIONS. Unlike Obama who has his family travel separate at a huge price tag for the American tax payer.

don't you know muslimes are not permitted to travel with a wife and most especially their little vermin kids ? :lmao:
 
Congress has no control over war??? I see, next...

The Patriot Act, and attendent legislation, greatly increased Presidential power; panic legilation is rarely good law. After 9/11, Bush decided to invade Iraq, without any link to the attack, and ignoring al Qaeda funding & resorces. We are left with the remains:

Rumsfeld dismissed National Security Agency (NSA) intercept data available by midday of the 11th that pointed to al-Qaeda's culpability, and by mid-afternoon ordered the Pentagon to prepare plans for attacking Iraq.[44] According to aides who were with him in the National Military Command Center on that day, Rumsfeld asked for: "best info fast. Judge whether good enough hit Saddam Hussein at same time. Not only Osama bin Laden."[45] A memo written by Rumsfeld in November 2001 considers an Iraq war.[46] The rationale for invading Iraq as a response to 9/11 has been widely questioned, as there was no cooperation between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda.[47]

Idiot... We went into Afghanistan first... And Leftist Media from Salon to ABCNews were making the case that Saddam was likely involved as they questioned the Haste in which we went into Afghanistan.

We not only didn't rush into Iraq we waited from the Mid October of 2002 to the to Mid March of 2003 after the Authorization for Force AGAINST IRAQ was Voted for by both Republicans and DemocRATS.

We literally waited almost half a year after Bush was OK'd... No Rush at all.

And it has continued to be Funded by both until... Today.

Dishonest and or Ignorant... Either way, Fuck you.

:)

peace...

The verbiage is on the video.

It's not even at all different then what I posted.

I have no idea why you continue this line of posting.

You are completely and utterly wrong.
