Nawww Dubya is a city boy, no ifs and or buts about it. He is all hat and no cattle, FAR more at home in a suit and corporate office than jeans and sweat stained hat. I'll wager he is just peachy with the most Country he sees is at the Club from here on out. :)

I disagree. People were always making fun of W for crashing on his mt bike but as a mt biker myself I can tell you if you ain't crashin you ain't mt biking, this guy got it. W went into nature and went balls out. As a guy that lives way out myself I could tell Bush really loved that wide open Texas land..
 
You mean you post like this SOBER??? :shock:

Oh yes the dogmatic radical right with a broad brush attack... I have commented on the choice of places to live of who many from all political persuasions call a terrible President, didn't even attend McCain or Willard's conventions... too busy??? There is no hate in my heart, pity perhaps but no hate for BushII, bless his lil heart, he just don't know no better....

No BushII never wanted the rural life, his wife is on record as wanting to grow old on the ranch, I don't see her as a socialite but someone who would be quite content to live a quiet life. Dubya relished rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous, loved using his name to gain entry into worlds he wouldn't have even glimpsed if not for his position of birth....

Ohhhhhh NOW I see why you rush to his defense and attack anyone who doesn't worship the Shrub... :mrgreen:

I never made fun of him for crashing his bike. I just don't recall him doing that much on his numerous trips to the ranch, much was made of his clearing brush. I too live at the end of a dirt road, never had a land line as the cost to lay the wire was jaw dropping. BushII's ranch wasn't in West Texas but south of Dallas, near Waco. If he loved Texas openness I'd opine he would have stayed out there, I doubt his wife would ever argue otherwise nor demand anything from him after he quit drinking and doing coke.

He loved imagery be it imitating Reagan the cowboy, or TopGun on the USS Lincoln. His true colors came out once he didn't left office as far as being a cowboy or loving miles and miles of miles and miles... :peace

All I can say is, unbelievable! This man is spending 4 million TAXPAYER dollars on a luxury vacation is the US economy teeters on the verge of a double dip recession and he himself is calling for higher taxes instead of reduced spending. You guys still proud you voted for this idiot?

"President Obama is reportedly scheduled to be vacationing in Hawaii on January 2, the date billions in spending cuts – and untold consequences for the economy – will kick in if a deal is not reached on the “fiscal cliff.”According to the Hawaii Reporter, residents who live in the area of Oahu where Obama and his family vacation have been told that the usual restrictions on their movements during an Obama stay will be in place for 21 days, from December 17 through January 6"

Newsflash: presidents take vacations.

And compared to his $2 billion vacation to India, $4 million sounds like a bargain.

I dunno ... how come you can't tell the difference between a monkey and an ape? By the way, which Liberals have an ape for an avatar?

Monkeys aren't in the ape family? Learn something every day. I guess it's like people calling snow shoe hare rabbits, their actually is a difference.

"Hares are generally larger and faster than rabbits.
Hares have longer ears and larger feet than rabbits.
Hares have black markings on their fur.
Rabbits are altricial i.e. they having young that are born blind and hairless. In contrast, hares are generally born with hair and are able to see (precocial). Young hares are therefore able to fend for themselves very quickly after birth.
Rabbit kittens soon after birth.A young hare is called a leveret and a young rabbit is called a kitten, kit, or, least correct but very commonly, a bunny.
Hares have very long and strong hind legs, more so than rabbits.
Rabbits and hares both molt and then grow new hair. This happens in both the spring and in the fall. Rabbits' brown summer fur is replaced with fur that is more grey. Hares, especially those living in cold, snowy regions, turn white in the winter.
Hunters say that hare has a much stronger, gamier flavor than rabbit (which actually does taste like a milder version of chicken).
Both rabbits and hares have short tails.

But ya know, when you get right down to it their all f**** rabbits and you libs are all f**** monkeys. Sorry I couldn't resist.:lol: ( humor Serenety, dry humor)

far from it, I never scream Bush Lied, People Died. I just lay out my argument that BushII never loved rural life, he bought his ranch many years after arriving in Texas, just before becoming President and got rid of it faster than Newt did any of his wives right after leaving the Oval Office... ;)

it isn't hating to point out BushII was a crappy President no GOP leader wants anywhere near them for photo ops. I am being lite, facts are facts, trying to say I hate him is trying to playthe victim.

Like I said I live at the end of a dirt road and while I don't live in the middle of nowhere, if you climb on the roof you can see the middle of nowhere just out to the west... :lol:

yeah it is that flat, hot, dry, dusty... like Texas but without the overblown sense of importance... :peace

What is the "ape family?" Are you suggesting that a family of apes adopted the monkey I use as an avatar? By the way, you avoided my question ... which Liberals use an ape for an avatar?

Take your pick. The facts are widely reported. The intellectual curiosity that you have professed to have in this matter should have led you to dive into the smorgasbord of relevant information provided. What went wrong? The first two entries in the list are titled...

Presidential vacations: How does Obama compare?
Obama's Vacations? Of Any President, Bush Racked Up the Most ...

...but neither one was able to draw your attention? How seriously do you suppose you are being taken here. You appear to be more interested in attempts at creating hoops than in attempts at learning anything.

The eight years of miserable disgrace and failure may have had something to do with that. It's the people who continue to defend Bush's disastrous record who would appear to have some sort of imbalance going on.

It's amazing that those same people who approve of a $4 million dollar vacation for Obama claimed that Mitt Romney, because of his wealth, could not possibly be a man of the people.
 
While conservatives fixate on presidential vacations, birth certificates and Benghazi, the rest of the nation turns its attention to tax and economic policy, and ignores them.

You think a $4million dollar vacation isn't related to economics?

I guarantee you the working class has not forgotten its about the economy. If GOP continues to fiddle fart around and cause the middle class taxes to go up, they are going to be in for a world of hurt in 2014!

If the 'working class' was worried about the economy they never would have voted for Barrack Obama. I don't see why they would.

Maybe conservative agitprop trying to pretend Bush's inept economic policies of tax cuts for the rich and deregulation didn't fool them this time.

The reason you can see it, is because you can't comprehend that a strong economy is built from a strong working class, not when you concentrate the wealth at the top in hopes that some of it might trickle down.

And you still haven't been able to explain how you would repay SS for $2.6 trillion dollars seniors let the government borrow, so the wealthy could continue to get their tax cuts during two decade long wars?

No. I think this is just part of your Obamaphobia that haunts the tea party mind, such as it is.

Ponders the poster who said that the government is hiring, when in fact, it's smaller now than it was 4 years ago; and intimated the private sector is not growing, when in fact, the private sector has now enjoyed 33 months of consecutive growth as it's added over 5 million jobs during that period.

You sure did get that one ass backwards, huh? :shrug:
