Obama's vacations and golf outings, by the numbers

You should learn to be more cynical of all politicians - not just the ones you don't like. For instance, most of every politician's job is taken up by raising funding. Or why do you think that the House and Senate are both presently on five-week vacations, hm? And this is even more important to them now, thanks to your boys on the Supreme Court deciding that money is the same thing as speech....

House members, simply due to their short 2 year terms, start fund-raising for the next election pretty much the day they after their election. It's just how politics has evolved.

Better yet, turn him off and throw the radio in the trash can.

I wouldn't spend one minute listening to Rush Limbaugh if I was paid to do it.

I have no use for the man or his hate-filled message.

I don't listen to him but anyone that gets libs so angry must be spot on.
 
With Tiger pulling out of Ryder Cup consideration, maybe the President could take his place and keep the team diverse.

He's the leader of the GOP which will be reduced to a minor, regional, party in about 30-years when massive demographic change hits it like a tidal wave.

Wait and see.




I know that someone will say that he's not the leader of the GOP, and my response to that is: Then why do so many GOP leaders bow down to him?

Actually, what Rush (and all political talk jocks) do is get their audience angry. Get them angry about things they were never angry about, an have no reason to be angry about. Get your listeners addicted to constant outrage...and hope that they don't realize they are being played.

G.W. Bush has been compared to all of the other presidents of the USA and he came out mighty close to the bottom of the list.

Obama ended up in the middle.

Do a little research.

Plenty of studies have been done.

Democrats win because they've successfully gotten their constituency hooked on free money. Heroin is a powerful drug.

That's what ravaged Europe and turned it into a sea of government dependency. Greece, Spain, Portugual are just the first to fall. It'll spread like cancer from there.

And the same tactics are infiltrating our nation, too.

Would his person, being glued to the resolute desk help in anyway to resolve the debt crisis?

Yes, he could then review the spending that various departments do, and start trying to implement some savings. Thats his job as executive, to execute the laws in an efficient manner. Thats why he has a budget office, the GAO, the treasury, and legions of bureaucrats.

and btw - those parties at the White House? Those are part of his JOB...and one he probably hates. It's an essential part of diplomacy, of networking, of building influence among the powerful and influential (which today includes movie stars as it once included media figures such as Mark Twain or other writers). Such has been a part of the president's job since George Washington held the very first state dinner, the very first time he and those he wanted to befriend went hunting or fishing or simply shared some whiskey with the powerful and influential on the taxpayer dime.

You appear to be applying one standard to a democratic president but a different one to a republican president who in your view should be an even worse offender.

For example? Where did I apply a standard to a Republican President thats different? Quote my post.
