Good to see Obama focusing on his main issues

[sandorski]

What's even funnier is that there are no cries from the right blaming Obama - but we hear repeatedly that we're the dummies.

High gas prices during Bush's term = screaming bloody murder from the "smart" people.

High gas prices during Obama's term = c'est la vie from the "dummies".

Once again, you just gotta laugh. Progressives are funny - up to a point.

Bush's Actions were a very large part of the Oil prices back then. At least for the most part. Towards the end of his Presidency Demand from China/Others began to overtake the initial uncertainties caused by the Iraq War.

Speculators drove oil before, and more so now.

Investment banks have 100s of billions of other people's money to invest somewhere. Now that they have broken the housing market, they direct more of it to commodities.

Without regulation and transparency, they'll break that market too. And all the while, they'll make trillions in fees just moving other people's money around, producing nothing of value.

I've got a job but work's been slow.

Got a good job lead for me? I'm always looking!

He is also allowing the DEA to raid MMJ facilities again.

Link? I was unaware of this.

OP, I believe this is the article you are referring to?

It's good to see the GOP focusing on important things like NPR...D:

Focusing on overspending and debt is important.. you are right.

,... you know this NOW? Wake the fuck up. We all know Obama has been coasting it. You think this economic recovery has ANYTHING to do with him? Hell no. It's Palin working her magic behind the scenes to get this country back to being tip tops,... dontcha know?!?!

Also, where was everyone's disdane for what previous presidents have done with their personal time? I am not sure how and why the current president's personal time is suddenly an issue.

And, speaking of not being an alpha male; how about when NYC was attacked on 9/11 and W just sat in a class room listening to children's stories when he was 1st told. You are the leader of a nation that was just attacked. Get the fuck up and MOVE.

Instead, your beta puppet sat there, waiting for Dick Cheney and his crew to tell him what to do.

Nice. Real nice.

Are you old enough to even remember 9/11?

You pretty much took the words right out of my mouth.

32 years old.

Hey boomerang, are you going to accuse me of being a socialist or something now?

I could...
I try to be adaptable. What would you like me to accuse you of being? You gave me two choices and I want to get it right. I'd like to reserve the right to accuse you of being something of my own choosing though.

Let us start small.

How about you 1st use basic math to realize I wasn't too young for 9/11?

Now, logic - that's a tough one for you. You are clearly blinded by a range of emotions to figure out what someone is trying to tell you at times. Or, you could very well be suffering from downs syndrome. It's OK though, Trig Palin is a hero,.... you can be one too.

Buh Buh Buh But Booooooooooosh!!!!

Really? You haven't seen the posts during GW's term in office? There was nothing but complete hatred and vile thrown at him on these boards. Every time he took a day off or did something recreational, it was posted about here.

Maybe you really are new here. I have been lurking for 8 years and finally decided to create an account awhile ago. I remember reading it all...and to be honest, most of it was right. Bush was a boob.

But now Obama is in office. Are you equating the two? It sounds like it by saying "This guy did it, so can Obama".

 

[Macamus Prime]

"This guy did it, so can Obama".

"Also, where was everyone's disdane for what previous presidents have done with their personal time? I am not sure how and why the current president's personal time is suddenly an issue."

I am pretty sure this part means I am NOT saying; "this guy did it, so can Obama".

But, you read into it whatever you like.

Alright, if I read you wrong, I do apologize. I did answer your question though. There was plenty of disdain for Bush when he did it. So, I see it as par for the course when people show the same disdain for this president taking vacations during times of crisis (ours or the world's). So, why not be concerned when President Obama is doing this as well?

For those who were "slighted" during the Bush bashing years - go nuts.

If Obama and Bush get together with one another in a secret base every weekend and eat bags of kittens; I won't care.

I just want some leadership, that does not invovle invading other countries and using the fear of terrorism to control it's people. When it's personal time, do what you have to do.
