"How can you reconcile going on vacation when so many people are out of work?"
:argh:

(Maybe not an exact quote, but that basically was the gist of it.)

Did anyone, EVER, ask Frat Boy the same question?

 :rotf: If Bush took as much as a 5 minute crap the Primitives would grab their pitchforks and storm the castle demanding that he get back to work yet Obama can take a vacation.

5. That is the kind of question that her supposed "mentor" Walter Cronkite would never have asked

because it has nothing to do with substance.

But if she had asked * then it would have been true journalism and all that crap.

16. So by her logic, the president should not vacation if some of   Updated at 12:02 AM
   
his constituent citizens are unemployed.

The same rule, then, should apply to any profession, right? Clerks at 7/11. Chamber of Commerce officers. Certainly all public employees. Teachers. Cops. Gardeners. Nurses. Physicians. Dentists.

Does Couric wonder how these workers can reconcile vacations while other Americans are unemployed, and would she like to be in the dentist's chair for root canal with a dentist who has not had a break for an extended period?

Yeah and if * was at the helm you would be saying the same thing.  :whatever:

You morons and your cousins in the MSM harped on him CONASANTLY about going down to the ranch in Crawford every August when Congress takes off.

There was a comparison put together by IIRO MSNBC about how W took more vacation days than any president prior.

And then you idiots criticized his running..his mountain biking and his golf outings.

Go play in traffic you retards.  You can't have it both ways.

I dunno if anybody else saw the news a few days ago, where it was mentioned that Ma and Pa Kettle have taken more international trips the past six months, than George Bush did his first four years in office.

Ma and Pa Kettle have been outside the country quite a bit.

It's very reminescent of Richard Nixon--and yes, I do deliberately wish to draw a parallel here--who during the height of Watergate was always taking off for Moscow and Peking and other unAmerican destinations.

No kidding - are we now going to disavow any knowledge of Mickey Moore taking the 'Now watch this drive..' video out of context to show how President Bush was on vacation while others were dying in 'illegal and immoral wars' ?

When are the primitives going to be consistent and call for Cindy Lou to stalk out Dear Leader and demand he remove all troops from Iraq?  In fact, half the thread on Skin's island used to be about "demanding" the troops be removed from overseas operations, especially Iraq.  What happened?

Attn primitives:  Until you start saying and admonishing Dear Leader for doing the exact same things that you used to admonish Bush for doing, you'll never have any credibility beyond your own island.  And despite your immature belief that you do now, you don't have any, and at this pace you never will.

Obama to Couric, "Yes I can. Air Force one is idling at the airport as we speak."

Wow.

We may have found the only group of liberals in captivity that have never seen Fahrenheit 9/11...even after the DNC bought 20,000 copies to support Kerry's 2004 campaign.

I heard that.....also that he has...essentially ....been around the world TWICE ....along with his other jaunts all around the US and Hawaii for a variety of trips.

The report I heard.....Zell Miller was quoted as saying ....that shouldn't someone be questioning how often he is gone from DC and perhaps suggest he STAY HOME and pay attention?
