It might be time to just hang up your P&N hat. Its not like you've ever provided any actual serious commentary, but now even your 'witty' responses are falling quite short. You honestly don't seem to have your edge anymore and its kind of sad.
Might not be witty but in this case they are damn straight accurate. All you guys do is whine and antagonize.

Fucking whiny ass republicans.

But...but...but...BOOOOSH

You fail to realize that
He worked from Crawford
WASN'T RAISING MONEY FOR A POLITICAL PARTY ON THE TAXPAYER DIME

Yes, Bush never made any appearances to help fellow Repubs. :roll:

I don't think many wanted his "help." :laugh:

You really are the embodiment of fail. Seriously. You think Obama is wasting time at fundraisers despite not being on vacation and working during those days and that Bush went to far fewer fundraisers, and then act all indignant when someone has the temerity to point out that Bush holds the record for most vacation days for any presdient ever?

Do ya see how that's directly related and not a BDS reflex?

No, you probably don't.

So, I still have not seen any rational defense for this behavior other than the idiotic "but but Bush!". Is it fair to say then that there is no rational defense for this wasting of taxpayer dollars to put money in the coffers of the DNP? Yes, I'd say so.

He's in the process of losing 2 wars, killing the economy, jobs and housing, killing the auto industry and banking so in his spare time the man needs to raise funds.

All that's is strictly your opinion nothing more. I still have to wonder though.... how is it you expect Obama to finish two wars in his one year in office when Bush couldn't manage it in 6?

2 wars he didn't start, an inherited depression, and he bailed out the auto industry you would have had him let go under. I know you're a troll n all, but you gotta get better ammo than this doncha?

You need to request a new name change to Turdcutter. You need something that will help you cut off all the shit you spread in the forum ;)

He and the Dem's have been talking about the "good" war that they wanted to win, I know the words win and Dem's don't go together. Now he has no idea what he wants to do.

As far as the auto bailout.... I think that giving them bail out money and letting them go bankrupt and giving them more money is brilliant :roll: let's just call it a bailout of the unions.

just the last 2 elections

Now he has no idea what he wants to do.

It's a radical concept called "thinking". Also known as "weighing options", "considering", "asking questions", "gathering information."

in other words, anathema to you

Didn't he run on the platform of "Change"? Also, "going on forever" would imply that he's just doing what the others before him did. That's not the case: he's attended 4 times as many fundraisers in 9 months as his two predecessors did in their entire first year in office. For a man who inherited a horrible economy, two wars and a host of major issues like healthcare, he sure does seem to have a lot of time to waste on fundraisers, getting on letterman, giving speeches, trying to get the olympic games to Chicago etc etc. No, this is not what's been going on forever, he's the emty suit rock star president.

A few things - Clinton only attended 5 in his first year - and in the first round of elections, the Dems lost their majority - I would think it prudent to avoid repeating this strategy.

2nd - Bush actually raised 48M in his 6 fundraisers, Obama is clocking in at just 21M for this fundraising activities thus far - and many of them are taking place on the same days. Interesting disparity there.

Also - what was Bush's first year again? Wasn't there some big event that fall that might have curtailed any fall fund-raising he had planned?

Should we be surprised that foxnews is the only major news outlet running this story?


"Some people call you the elite"

"I call you my base"

Who said that?

How about we compare vacation time between Bush and Obama?

How about we compare hours worked per day between Bush and Obama?

Keep trying.

As for 'pokerguy' - trying to get the Olympic games - Chicago - or any other US city for that matter - would have been done by any president for any US city - stop trying to take every single action the guy does and make it an evil event, it's pathetic.

If you don't see changes in the way things are done now vs the last 8 years, then you'll never see change - you don't want to see it.

Politicians do fund raisers - this just in - news at 11.

Air Force One alone runs $65,000/hour....
I would think the DNC is responsible for the tab.

I have to comment on P-Anus and these comments:

"If you knew anything on the subject, there was never a ban on stem cell research only federal funds to stem cell research using stem cells from aborted fetuses. Additionally, the vast majority of research is showing that there is little benefit to using these types of stem cells.

Actually the 'ban' wasn't specific to 'aborted' fetuses - nice try to tie abortion into the discussion. You may want to actually read about the source of most embryonic stem cells before you go running off screaming about abortion - here's a hint - abortion isn't the source. As for your 'little benefit' comment - you couldn't be more wrong. While there are other sources/types of stems cells being used in research, to say there is little promise in the study of embryonic stem cells is a flat-out lie.

"Iraq? Obama is sticking to the time line imposed by Bush."

I'm fairly certain that Bush is the one who said "I'm not a fan of timelines", or something to that effect. Also, the 'timelilne' you are referring to was put in place at the very end of the Bush administration, primarily so the GOP could claim they had a withdrawal plan. 7 and a half years of no apparent plan doesn't mean Obama's and Bush's handling of Iraq are similar.

"GITMO? It is till open and will still be open after the deadline of one year Obama promised it closed."

OMG - Obama is a failure, GITMO is still open.

"Health care legislation? Is he really pushing it? I mean the Democrats control the house, senate, and white house, whats the hold up if this is a major priority for the American people or if the American people wanted what Obama is selling."

Really? The Obama adminstration isn't pushing for this? Really? Let me see if I understand this - Health care reform - which really hasn't had a significant legislative event in 60+ years - should have already happened, and the fact that it hasn't already happened means Obama isn't pushing it? Really? This is how you see things?

But seriously, what exactly has he accomplished other than the sham of the Nobel Peace Prize?

He's the President of the United States. On his own merits. His daddy didn't buy him the office. All while doing so as a black man in America. More than you'll ever do in your entire sorry life.
