  1. As a vacation-taker, Obama is a piker compared to Bush

    Every time President Obama does anything even remotely resembling leisure, the right-wing noise machine spews high dudgeon — as if to suggest, of course, that the uppity black dude is characteristically lazy.

     

    The truth is that Obama will never come close to George W. Bush as a presidential vacation-taker. Indeed, Bush spent one-third of his eight-year presidency on vacation, as we see HERE:

     

    Calls to several Presidential libraries reveal that President Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, was on vacation more — 1,020 days — than any U.S. President since Herbert Hoover and possibly more than any other President in history.

     

    Even President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was in office 12 years from 1933 to 1945, was on vacation less days than President Bush at 958 days.  Calls to several Presidential Libraries reveal that no President can come close to Bush’s 1,020 days on vacation in an 8 year period.  Even Lyndon Johnson, who spent 484 days at his ranch in Texas and at Camp David during his presidency, came in under Bush’s vacation time.  Some claim the cost of Bush’s frequenttrips to Crawford, Texas cost taxpayers upwards of $20 million, but the numbers are hard to confirm….

    In 2005, the Washington Post noted President Bush’s frequent vacations in a piece titled “Vacationing Bush Poised to Set a Record” as Bush took the longest single vacation — 5 weeks — of any President in 36 years.

    President Bush spent 32% of his presidency on vacation.

    Bush passed Reagan in total vacation days in 2005 with three and a half years left in his presidency. Reagan spent all or part of 335 days in Santa Barbara over his 8 year presidency.  Bush spent 487 days at Camp David during his presidency and 490 days at his Crawford, Texas ranch, a total of 977 days.

    When you add the days President Bush spent at Kennebunkport, Maine, he spent a total of 1,020 days away from the White House — close to 3 years.  At 1,020 days, Bush was close to being on vacation more days than President John F. Kennedy’s total days in office (1,036).  Representatives at the Nixon and Johnson Libraries indicate those two Presidents were on vacation less than 1,000 days during their terms.

  2. Keep,  Tlar is not a guru.... this was a little snippet from a long thread on another site, just like at DV these were opinions going back and forth on that thread.  He has his opinion you have yours.... but you know what they say about opinions, they are like a$$holes everyone has one.   

    Yeah everyone has at least one.

    Its just that SOME are gifted with more than one!

    In the hospital where a family member lay gravely ill, the relatives gathered in the waiting room. Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber.  

     

    "I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed the worried faces. "The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure, very risky, but it is the only hope. Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the BRAIN."

     

    The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a time, someone asked, "How much will a brain cost?"  

     

    The doctor quickly responded, "$5,000 for a Democrat's brain; $200 for a Republican's brain."  

     

    The moment turned awkward. Some of the Democrats actually had to try not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the Republicans. A man unable to control his curiosity, finally blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, "Why is the Democrat's brain so much more than a Republican's brain?"  

     

    The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire group, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to price the Republicans' brains a lot lower because they're   
    used 
    ."

     

    SEND THIS TO A Republican WHO NEEDS A LAUGH, AND TO ANY Democrat WHOM YOU THINK CAN HANDLE A JOKE!

  4. Haha. Thanks for the compliment...the original Ezra Pound was/is one of my favorite poets of all time. NO, unfortunately, I am not him. My words are from the heart as I am a devout believer in this endeavor...have been since the start back in '05. I can't begin to explain, but suffice to say I DO indeed have a calm certainty that this WILL come to fruition. I long ago gave up on wishful thinking...we all have that. I believe this is an inevitable occurrence

       As for Affred E. Newman? I just love the look on his face with his now infamous saying " What? Me worry?" LOL

    I, like most here am frustrated almost to the point of obsession,but I try and not let it get me down . The "guru's" tell us what they tell us either because they are paid to do so, or their egos demand that constant worship and reassurance. Simple as that.

    Nope, no Ezra Pound for sure, but a poet I am. Keep the faith in this. It is coming!

    Your welcome. I appreciate your level of input. I hate to post this next link but we have to explain your way of speaking to the Okies and Possums of this site:

     

     

    My apologies to your wife if she sees this!
