lol again the argument pops up that "lazy" is a racist word. No it's not. The clown is leaving for a twenty day vacation while there's significant unfinished (and IMPORTANT) business to attend to. That's called lazy and not a team player. It's certainly not good leadership.
Obama is the best man for the job of the president of US as vetted by its constituents. Their are perks of being an executive (think wall street bailout and bonus) and not every one be one. Obama is Executive numero uno, he get's a vacation if he wants. Saying he should have no life until the country returns to pre-Bush days is like saying CEO's, IBs, anybody shouldn't get vacation if the company is doing poorly. It sounds right, but reality drives negative productivity, lower quality work force and ultimately poor results.
Obama's decision to take a vacation instead of work to resolve the fiscal cliff merits discussion. Some of you are so blinded by your devotion to him that you don't even pay attention to his gross incompetence.
You don't provide substance, this is another one of your attempts to take a ridiculous jab at the president of these united states. I'm sure you criticized Bush for all of his vacation time during critical periods, I'm sure you did that right? Don't worry, "King Urkel" thinks you are a man of substance lol. How does it feel to know your kind is a dying breed? Tell me what it's like to stand on the brink of extinction. Political scoreboard brah.
The clown watch your self cause once again you are talking about the president you just mad .When that *ss clown of a president bush was in office you didnt say anything when he went on vacation.
If you donated money to his campaign you would get a postcard. I can send you a copy. Hawaii is beautiful this time of year. You're just jealous. Let yourself go through the stages of grief.
Man once again you just keep showing how incompetent you really are .What you should be doing is getting on those GOP's that dont want America to keep going .
Texx is a despicable racist who is coddled because most Houston-based forums are afraid to take on mind-numbingly ignorant Klansmen like him for fear of losing too many pageviews.
Then why didn't you do it with W? I feel like I've been meaning to tell you something... What could it have... Can't seem to... Oh yeah, that's right! Scoreboard. Your party has fallen and it can't get up. You go on ahead and make aaaaaaaaaaaalllllllll the posts you want big-texxx. And I'll just sit over here and think about how cool it is that we're going to have Barack Obama as our president for four more years.
So far, President Obama has taken 61 vacation days after 31 months in office. At this point in their presidencies, George W. Bush had spent 180 days at his ranch where his staff often joined him for meetings. And Ronald Reagan had taken 112 vacation days at his ranch. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-20093801.html Maybe Bush did deserve all that paid vacation. Starting 2 wars that resulted in over 200,000 innocent civilian deaths could wear on a guy.
The timing and planning of the vacation is perfect. Obama won the election, and has clearly stated what he will and will not negotiate. Obama spent years attempting to negotiate while being stonewalled by the GOP. If the arbitrary financial cliff is not resolved the Republican congress will face the consequences and not the President.
When you have to resort to insults, you've lost the argument. You lose. You liberals are unable to defend your president's actions, therefore you resort to the easy way out -- just drop the race card. It's all you got. I challenge you to think more critically -- think deeper, if you are able.
I never played the race card, I just want to know if you think the most important executive position in this country doesn't deserve time off/vacation on X-mas. Also, I want to know if you actually that's good for productivity/morale. Sometimes you have to recharge imo.
