To be fair, bush used crawford as a second white house. I don't call his time in his own house a vacation. So why does obama not vacation to chicago?
This is true to some extent of Obama as well. Obviously his various vacation spots are lacking the intensive commo of a permanent base like Crawford, but a President's duties tend to follow him. And there are certain things that cannot be done away from D.C. regardless of whether one is at a permanent base or a hotel.

What are you babbling about now? Of course they have power to attempt to change legislation. They lacked the ability to do so, but they have the power to try.

I'm just saying that they should own what they tried to do instead of running away from it and pretending it didn't happen. It's funny, in the first day or two of the shutdown there were Republicans talking about how happy they were to be shutting things down to fight the Evil Obamacare. Then when it turned into a disaster they are suddenly like "who, us?"

I agree;They should grow a pair and admit that they did the will of the people
despite media and executive opposition.

Typical righty move. When lacking material go years back even though thread is about 2013.

my take was it shows an almost poetic - artistic symmetry, showering us with consistency as liberals perfect their abject proclivities for taking stupid to dimensions yet explored, you know their final frontier?

Your chuckle occurred in 2009.
not occured homer. started.

You realize that:

1.) They lost the popular vote in all three areas of the federal election.

and

2.) The reason they are running away from it is because it was so enormously unpopular with the people.

Right? Strange that 'the people' seemed to hate 'the will of the people' so much, huh.

You may not call it vacation but Bush certainly did. btw, fuel alone for his trips is estimated to have been approx. $225,0000/trip. There were 77 trips 'home'.
