The 1 percent life

You thought wrong.
It's about attacking Obama for what people attacked Bush Jr. for, and what they defended him for. Problem is, when GWB is twice as bad, the people attacking Obama look pretty silly.

I do agree with it. If you are saying that this economy is awful but you keep playing golf and vacationing like there is no tomorrow, then you are wrong. You need to try and save as much money as you can to make show that you care. Obviuosly they don't care about what we go through or think. And this has nothing to do with race or color. It goes to every politician in any branch.

people always try to make it a race issue but some how they are not racist.

This is vacationing like there's no tomorrow? So what were Reagan and Bush doing?

This is such a stupid "issue".

[shrewsbury]

wickabee, I do agree with you. I think I might have taken more vacation time

ok, the points brough up in that article make forgive GWB for spending billions of tax dollars, and wasing thpousands of lives on an unfounded revenge war for his daddy; I forgive him for making it so that I pay over $1 for my gas now; I forgive him for making a complete mockery of what was once the most powerfull and respected country in the world;

you are right, he was a President who cared about the people

[xpucksx]

If the current President takes the same amount of vacation days over his 2nd term as he did in his first, it'll come out to about 168 days over eight years.

Dubya took 297.

Clinton took 174.

And the Hero Of The Right? Reagan took 349.




My question, and I do have one, is........Does the rest of the US population, other than Media Matters or Alternet or others of their kind pay any attention to the 20-25% of the screaming right wing?? Or are y'all content to let them live in their little Red-State bubbles?

unfortunately, we have to hear them yelling. Every once in a while enough people listen to make the mistake and believe them....but the ship always "rights" itself, for lack of a better term...

So I am guessing you generally ignore facts???

1) Gas prices went up when Katrina hit, not because of the Gulf War.
2) When Bush left office a gallon of gas was $1.83. It has never been that low since. I assume Obama fanboys have no issue with the additional $2 a gallon we pay now?
3) The revenge war that you lay on Bush would have never existed if Clinton hadn't ran away with his tail tucked every time the issue of dealing with Iraq came up. Clinton walked around with his hands in his pockets for 8 years while Hussein refused to allow UN inspections and fired missiles at USAF patrols and drones. Perhaps if Clinton had been man enough to do something other than put up "no-fly zones" (what a joke) and give speeches then by the time Bush took office the Iraq issue would have been resolved.

[Wickabee]

Wait. Am I paying higher gas prices because of your President?
That seems wrong somehow...

[maccards44]

I have no idea why gas is so much. Bush?Iraq?Katrina?Obama? maybe.
But blaming Clinton for Iraq is .... I.... just... there's no words.
