Bush: Don't criticize Obama for golf

Such as Obama's statesmanship at the UN today, as he kicks a nipping Cruz away at his heel.
Everything Bush does in his "retirement" is indicative of a classy man, as most fair minded people know. In fact, I'd be inclined to think America would be far better off if President Obama did nothing but golf on the taxpayer's dime - would likely be far less expensive in the long run.
 
President Bush-43 continues to show his statesmanship since leaving the office, whether it be because of his Father, Mother, Wife or All of the above.
 
Probably not. Bush's words don't hold a ton of sway political with the right anymore now it seems anyways.

My guess is that petty partisans on the right will continue bitching about Obama's Golfing just like petty partisans on the left would bitch about Bush's time at the Ranch instead of the white house. Petty partisans bitch, it's what they do. Nothing really stops it; at most it just alters it a bit.

Petty partisans huh Thats a crock

.....what do you call all the bruthas around here where he lives, that mocks him over it. Playing Golf. Hardly can call them people who lean to the Right. Since he did none of it.....nor wasn't into it while living here. Yet none do over Jordan and all who was anyone that went out on his golfing parties.

You wouldn't happen to know the reason why Obama wasn't part of the scene now would you? Do you think it might have had to do with paying for the ****?

Most thinking people in the world are long past Obama's flowery prose having any relevance. But if you love a good speech, go for it. Maybe if you're lucky, Obama will put out a CD of his favorite hotair hits.

That's funny none in the MainStream Media have stated anything about his Speech being a Class Act at the UN today.....they called him the Chief Explainer. Whatever the hell that means. :shock:

I think I'll Stick to my own assessment of him. ;)

The Chief Explainer is Bill Clinton, you're behind.
But Obama and Clinton are both on MSNBC right now.
And I leave soon for a wake here in Maine.
Uncle was 97, good life.

Nah.....I have been on it all day. Even Fareed From CNN says there wasn't much to this speech. Other than the Announcement that Obama would have Kerry set up talks with the Iranians.

Sorry for your misfortune Nimby.....My condolences. As it was written.....let it be so. ;)
 
I think anyone has the right to criticize POTUS for golf and vacation (i know this isnt talking about vacation days) but i find it amusing and quite hypocritical when 95% of Republicans didnt criticize Bush for his gold and vacation saying you know Bush took a record amount of vacation days.

Fall colors just starting to show in NE. Mid-PA was nice on 80.
I feel real good about Rouhani and that other peace dude the have.
 
Bush went to the ranch that HE owned and Camp David....... :shrug: Obama spends extravagantly. His kids go skiing in Colorado, a family trip to Africa, ridiculous spring break vacations. He is abusing privileges. I don't see him going home to Chicago for a weekend away at HOME.

So who paid for the gas because he did "own" the plane. Simply put and regardless of what you say Bush spent over half his time in office on vacaction!

Bush some 300 hundred days of vacation. Obama 90 some days of vacation. Bush had more than one residence. Just sayin'.

That's for 8yrs.....Obama had over 160 with just 4yrs. Moreover, Obama has more than one residence as well as his vacations now damn near cost as much as all of Bush's.

To Top it off.....Obama has another 3 years to go. In which he will have outspent by Double in Cost if not more. Obama's home in Hawaii is a whole hell of lot more expensive than Bush's ranch was in Texas.

Sorry, but you are wrong. Look it up.

This was just up until Aug 19 2010.....now you know for a fact that he has taken more from this point on. Which also doesn't change the fact on the costs to the American people.

How does Obama vacation days compare to Bush vacation days?

Answer:

This is Mr. Obama's 9th vacation since taking office. As of August 19, 2010, he has spent all or part of 38 days on "vacation" away from the White House. He has also made 14 visits to Camp David spanning all or part of 32 days. It brings his total time away to all or part of 70 days.
It's less than the "vacation" time taken during the same period by his immediate predecessor.

As of this point in his 1st term, Mr. Bush had made 14 visits to his Texas ranch spanning all or part of 102 days. He also made 40 visits to Camp David spanning all or part of 123 days. His "vacation" total at this point in his presidency was all or part of 225 days away.....snip~

Now back to the Clincher.....Bush's was a total for 8 yrs. Obama's total is for 4 years so far. Has Obama been there yet for 8 years. Kinda hard to get around that fact.....huh? ;)
 
I don't know, but it does seem to indicate that Bush is a class act. ;)

Very much. The guy was a terrible, abhorrent president, but I found no reason to say he's a terrible person.
 
slow news day in the US then?
 
Yep, him and Jimmy Carter are two nice guys. Too bad they sucked as President.

Jimmy Carter was a phony. He was a gaping asshole in person
 
I don't know, but it does seem to indicate that Bush is a class act. ;)

Although I'm not crazy about some of his policies, I think he really is a class act. He never bad mouths anyone, and has a good sense of humor too. :)
