1. I'm convinced they want to be more like faux. Also, as

another DUer noted in another thread, sour grapes because the admin didn't give them a heads-up on the Iraq withdrawal yesterday. :cry:

[liberal N proud]

2. Of course they are

He is doing something, so they are going to bitch about it.

Proves one thing, no matter what Obama does or doesn't do, the Right Wing M$M is going to attack, attack, attack.

:nuke:

5. Uhmm. Blitzer is still wanking himself senseless about the war and the Obama is Muslim meme.

[Empowerer]

11. Don't you love how they imply that Obama's religion is a matter of opinon expressed by the WH, not

a plain and simple fact.

3. DimSon had his brush-clearing ass on vacation

when the country was in peril. The aid that delivered the PDB on Aug. 6th was told he had covered his ass.
This guy (Obama)can not catch a break. They are out to destroy him...period.

[Beartracks]

4. Better to vacation after ENDING a war...

... than to vacation after STARTING one.

8. Or IGNORING important PDBs!!

like a certain former POTUS whose name will go unmentioned. :banghead:

[jillan]

10. Excellent point!!

[otohara]

6. The Title Says It All

Criticism likely to follow Obama on vacation... who are these critics? CNN, FAUX, hate-radio and MSNBC will dabble in it also.

7. Also, did Obama NOT visit an Ohio family's backyard and speak to the people?

Sheesh! FFFF you very much Andrew Breibart, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, Glenn Beck, and the rest of the goon squad beating the drum with yarnstrings.

9. Never confuse Fox News propaganda with reality

they mix about as well as oil and water. :eyes:

12. Obama's center-right positions anger me but the Man needs a well-needed Vacation!

A week long break...well deserved! Then its back into the lions den for more bashing from both bases...and that includes me. But for now, definitely enjoy it...damn Bush had taken nearly a 1 year vacation at this point in history...geezus did Bush ever work?

[RamboLiberal]

13. At this point Obama 70 days Bush 225 days

This is Mr. Obama's 9th vacation since taking office. As of today, he has spent all or part of 38 days on "vacation" away from the White House. He has also made 14 visits to Camp David spanning all or part of 32 days. It brings his total time away to all or part of 70 days.

It's less than the "vacation" time taken during the same period by his immediate predecessor. (Former President George W. Bush gets the quotation marks too.)

As of this point in his 1st term, Mr. Bush had made 14 visits to his Texas ranch spanning all or part of 102 days. He also made 40 visits to Camp David spanning all or part of 123 days. His "vacation" total at this point in his presidency was all or part of 225 days away.

Bush took month long vacations, and if he wasn't in Crawford he spent nearly every weekend at Camp David usually making Friday a half day. The Obama's hardly use Camp David because of their daughters sports & school activities.

14. I guess reporting on Halliburton winning a HUGE oil contract in Iraq is too boring

Ferchrissakes, being a journalist now is just so hard.

:crazy:

15. Tell CNN that all Anchors' vacations are banned from now on
