Yes, Obots will go to any all lenghts to defend/excuse/apologize what their messiah does. Thought a new thread would be redundant, but here's a DUmmy denying a vacation is a vacation:

There is no such thing as a vacation for the President. All it means is that he is not at the White

House. However, he has to work and be available for emergencies. A swim in the ocean is immediately interrupted if there is a crisis anywhere in the country or the world. So, let him go to get away to Martha's Vineyard . So, let him go to away for awhile. The vacay is no vacation. In addition, he deserves to get away and it is healthy for mind and body.

Yeah I recall from 2001 to 2009 how all of DU made that case. :whatever:
Of course though, when Chimpy McHitler Cokespoon went on vacation we still had a triple A credit rating, and unemployment was fairly low.

Funny how that happens, huh?

12. I don't think it's fair to compare Obama to Bush.
And I've been very reluctant to defend Obama as of late. Bush set the record for all presidents in terms of vacation time, by a long shot. And this was often during crises that he helped create.
:rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:
Uh huh 0bama had nothing to do with the crisis we are facing now. :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

6. You know, I castigated Bush for his vacations while the country was falling apart.
I can't give Obama any slack here even though I support the guy.
The funny thing is only if 0bama could return us to those horrible days, it would be a huge improvement.

9. You don't see a difference between a vacation and "constant vacations"?
0bama is on vacation every other week.

What?!? The country was falling apart? We were all basking in unprecedented prosperity, the Great Bush Prosperity, which was just more afterglow from the Great Reagan Prosperity, Freedom, And Security Boom. Things are always falling apart for moonbats.
I think even the DUmpmonkeys would prefer to go back to those booming days of full employment under Dubya. Unemployment in this county of red state hell was under 2%! That's less than TWO per cent!
Falling apart?

I, for one, am grateful when obama is away from the job and nothing gets done. My reason should be obvious.

I mean,....after all. It is tough work lying to the American people day in, day out with a straight face. Working to wreck the American way of life and creating race/class wars is taxing on the Obozo's mind/body.

Did Bush ever go any where on "vacation" other then his ranch?

Not that I recall except "maybe" to Europe with the whole family (???). Just a random thought.
Here's an interesting article:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/aug/11/dont-go-on-vacation-just-go/
KUHNER: Don’t go on vacation - just GO
Now that his incompetence is obvious, Obama should resign
America’s economy is in free-fall. Growth is anemic. The stock market is collapsing. Real unemployment - combining the high jobless rate with rampant underemployment - is higher than 16 percent. Manufacturing is dead. Deficits, debt and government spending are at record levels. Our credit rating has been downgraded for the first time in history. The trade deficit has exploded to the highest in years.A possible Great Depression haunts the land. Primarily one man is to blame: President Obama.
Mr. Obama has racked up more than $4 trillion in debt. His massive spending stimulus has failed and made the jobless situation worse. Before his stimulus package was passed in February 2009, the unemployment rate stood at 7.8 percent. Today it is at 9.1 percent - and rising. Mr. Obama promised that his Keynesian borrow-and-spend policies would kick-start the economy. He has run up three consecutive trillion-dollar-plus budget deficits, an orgy of spending unrivaled in our history. The result: Nearly 2 million private-sector jobs have been wiped out, the U.S. dollar has eroded, investor and business confidence has been shattered, and America is no longer the world’s economic superpower. Washington has become a financial colony of China.
Under Mr. Obama, America’s decline has been swift, sudden and stunning - almost bewildering. Even many liberals are beginning to turn on him. The New York Times and liberal columnists such as Maureen Dowd and Eleanor Clift are attacking him relentlessly. The media establishment is in panic. The mainstream press portrayed him in 2008 as a world historical figure who combined Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi - a progressive messiah who would heal racial wounds at home and restore peace abroad. Some even compared him to God. Now many of these same journalists have come to a shocking conclusion: Mr. Obama is morphing into Jimmy Carter. They are staring at another failed liberal presidency.
Yet the damage is much worse than what happened under the Carter administration. For all of his deep flaws, Mr. Carter was a competent technocrat. His ideas were wrong and dangerously naive - especially regarding Soviet communism. But Mr. Carter had executive experience before entering the Oval Office. He had served as governor of Georgia. He presided over a major peace agreement between Egypt and Israel. Most importantly, Mr. Carter had respect for the dignity and integrity of the presidency. He never trashed his opponents the way Mr. Obama does. Mr. Carter had sympathy for Christian America. In short, he didn’t make Americans wonder if the president despised his country - at least while in office.
Mr. Obama, however, is a campus radical in the White House. He is inflicting severe, almost irreparable damage. His administration is so inept it can barely perform basic functions. Lifting the debt ceiling - something that was routine for presidents from Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush - was turned into a national nightmare, as Mr. Obama played a game of brinkmanship. In the end, the borrowing limit was raised, the reckless spending spree continues, and more unsustainable debt has been saddled upon future generations. The president’s demagoguery - his false warnings of a default, his threats to withhold Social Security checks, his inflammatory attacks on Tea Party Republicans - only served to unnerve global economic markets, fostering an atmosphere of immediate panic and crisis.
Mr. Obama repeatedly warned that unless the debt ceiling was raised to go beyond the 2012 election, the country’s credit rating would be jeopardized. He predicted that a downgrade would lead to fiscal Armageddon - high interest rates, austerity cuts, more unemployment and potential economic collapse. Yet a long-term debt deal was signed amid signs the nation’s Triple-A rating would be downgraded anyway. What was Mr. Obama’s response? He partied.
The president celebrated his 50th birthday by throwing a big bash at the White House. Trendy celebrities - Tom Hanks, Chris Rock, Stevie Wonder, Jay Z - showed up to eat, drink and be merry. Mr. Obama even danced barefooted while gorging on barbecued ribs and champagne. With the economy crumbling, financial markets melting and millions jobless, hurting and hungry, the president cared mostly about having a good time. He lectures the country by day while partying at night.
Mr. Obama is the most arrogant, self-absorbed and self-obsessed president in U.S. history. Nothing is ever his fault. He blames everyone and everything for America’s economic woes - Tea Partyers, Wall Street, Japanese earthquakes, insurance executives, oil companies, millionaires and corporate jet owners. He lashes out at imaginary enemies without ever taking personal responsibility. In his mind, he is - and always will be - the Anointed One.
There is only one solution: Drive him from office. Americans should forge a mass grassroots movement demanding that Mr. Obama step down - immediately. Through bumper stickers, picket signs, posters, T-shirts and rallies, tens of millions of citizens should express the same message: Leave. It is highly unlikely he will step aside, but such a movement would cripple the president’s authority and possibly blunt him from doing further harm. It also would puncture his boundless ego. A widespread manifestation of no confidence would break him - politically, morally and psychologically - in order to save America. Mr. Obama is out of his depth. He lacks the character, intelligence, skills and experience - the basic competence - to be the leader of the free world.
Resign, Mr. President.

I don't recall if he did.
Seems he only came down this way to piss off sindee shehag.
Did a mighty fine job of it, too.
Speaking of which, is the scrunt still holed up in Caves's broom closet?

On one hand, I can't begrude any president celebrating a milestone birthday. But a low key affair with friends and family would have been better then a big fancy bash with fawning celebrities and ruling elites doing the electric slide. That is like sitting in the back of a funeral and laughing over dirty jokes during the service with other clods.
I kind of wish I were there tho. I would love to ask people like Tom Hanks and JayZ if they feel like they are not taxed enough. That and I could kill for some good BBQ right now.
And on that note I will now make mac and cheese for dinner. :whatever:

He might have done just that! Cindy - what a fricken loser bitch. With fond remembrance to Zacs Mom's memory who did the pic at FR.

Nah. Say what you will about Bush but he was not a vindictive man and I am pretty sure he would not waste his family vactation time on some thing so petty. But I could see him shurging and saying "well if surger tits wants to sit in the heat more power to her."
-
Rather interesting that the scrunt got power slammed under the bus.
One piece of work that even stevenumbers wouldn't touch.

Ah, so once again, I apparently don't get my point written well. I meant in a back-hand kind of way, that he must have got her goat just by being there.
Sorry that I wasn't clear.
