A few weeks after none other than a suddenly critical NYT took on the topic of a "tone-deaf" president's vacation days during times of domestic and global crises, the topic of Obama's vacationing days during the twilight of his presidential career, one already marked with near record low approval ratings, has suddenly become mainstream media fodder.
Entier Reuters, which takes up NYT torch as follows:
President Barack Obama gave Americans an update on U.S. military strikes in Iraq on Saturday from a podium on the White House lawn with Marine One, the presidential helicopter, parked in the background.
Four hours later, he offered an altogether different tableau: a golf game with friends at a lush course on Martha's Vineyard, the upscale Massachusetts island where the president and his family began a two-week vacation.
contrasting scenes, which quickly sparked some hostile commentary from critics, illustrate the dilemma of taking time off when you are the most powerful leader in the world and, by definition, handling major issues all the time.

I don't begrudge him a vacation, just the timing and number of vacations he takes.
ReplyDeleteWord has it he is mentally adrift and unstable, heavily medicated and losing touch with reality.
ReplyDeleteHe is having a mental breakdown because of his incompetence and inability to make a correct decision. So he just goes on vacation or to the golf course or a fundraiser...
"Word has it..."? Who's word?
ReplyDelete10:55AM, he's been mentally unfit since he took office.., it's just gotten worse.
ReplyDeleteThe man has absolutely no business running this country., none what-so-ever. Our problem is getting Congress to see it as we do.
Ginn, with all due respect, Congress does more running of the Country than Obama or any other President does.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, WHY isn't anyone going after Congress for all the vacation time they take?
Now you know me, I'm NOT here to defend this piece of crap President but let's be fair.
It does not matter what any of you say, they will riot if he is taken out. If Obama is impeached, they will riot. They are just waiting on anything excuse to riot.
ReplyDeleteObama is their MLK for this age. He could literly go in front of the media and take a dump on the American Flag on the White House Lawn and they would praise him. He then could go get a blow job by Oprah Winfrey right after on TV and they would praise him.
He is the biggest piece of crap ever... and they praise him.
If Puton had any sense, now would be the time to invade, but we have nothing they want... so why waste the time.
Christians turn the other cheek, everyone else just to lazy or scared to admit defeat. Libtards have finally destroyed the country.
