Did you know Obama flew to Las Vegas fundraising with his Ambassador's body not yet cold? I am yet to see any Liberal worthy of his name so much as to raise an eyebrow to it...
When Obama plays golf, it's usually part of being on an "official" trip or only a few hours when he's in DC.
Before he leaves, the schedule indicated, Obama will "deliver a statement" in the White House Rose Garden at 10:35 a.m., the White House said. Obama on Wednesday morning confirmed the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens, the administrations point man during the Libyan revolution, in a statement condemning the "outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans." "While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants," Obama said. http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/first-read/gop-raising-cash-benghazi-committee-n99411
Yeap. And then flew to Las Vegas partying. Not even a smidgen of impropriety so far as Liberals are concerned. We understand.
Is was their job they knew the risks . He spoke in the rose garden about the incident & acknowledged Stevens . What did you want him to do ??? Partying you people .......you have a link for the partying ??
What if instead of golfing he goes to meet a foreign leader, that costs even more..... - - - Updated - - - It's not all racist, but a lot of it is...
Fair question. That is a legitimate expense which is supposedly in the best interest of the country. Golfing is not.
Hoist on your own petard....you just blew all semblance of a logical argument...... The secret service spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in upgrades to the Bush property, including building a substantial house there. Compare that with greens fees......which Obama pays out of pocket....
Sometimes stuff happens. Sometimes stuff is allowed to happen. Sometimes stuff happens as a result of reckless behavior. It is not all the same. And by the way, the (*)(*)(*)(*) you are referring to is the death of four heroes that gave their lives for their countries. Hardly (*)(*)(*)(*) at all. I am sure the relatives of the victims are thrilled that you describe their deaths as (*)(*)(*)(*). Can one be any more despicable?
Apparently It is actually an interesting debating point quickly submerged by partisan hacks. The fact the President is not allowed to travel as a private citizen has always been a contentious issue.
When dems complained about how much it cost for Bush to vacation was it racist? The fact that you even used the word racism here outs you as an absolute moron incapable of debating anything with factual evidence and intelligent opinion, it is the emotional safety net of idiots that have no intelligent information in which to contribute to a discussion. As for the article, Bush spent taxpayer money when he traveled as well. To use this as a political argument is about as hypocritical as it can get.
Being the POTUS is probably the most stressful job in the world. The toll it would take on a mans health over a lengthy period of time has to be enormous. I personally have no issue with the POTUS taking time to keep his stress levels in check and do his best to do the job with the healthiest mind possible. I am a right leaning independent and I do not have any problem with the POTUS playing golf. This is a hypocritical fight the republicans have chosen to engage in. Also, for everyone that uses the word racism while debating this issue, you have lost all intellectual credibility.
Your notion that no US tax dollars were used on Pres Bush Jr when he was at his ranch is complete BS.
I dont agree with most of his policies and I didnt vote for him, nor would I ever. However, he has done things that I was very pleased with and he has my support at POTUS. To see absolutely nothing he has done with approval would indicate that you have closed your eyes for partisan reasons. You asked for an example so I will give you one. He didnt kill OBL with a sniper in a public market. He had us kick the guys front door in and blow his head off in his own home while surrounded by his family. Not even your boy Bush could have done it better. Also, he has remained aggressive in his pursuit of AQ which shocks me that the right simply ignores or refuses to acknowledge. It is my guess, that most of what BHO has done would please you if it had been a Republican POTUS in office at the time.
Don't be silly. Carping about paying for Presidential vacations is a time honored American tradition. It happens with every President. Its legitimacy as a complaint is inversely proportional to your affinity towards the President. What other American traditions do you despise? Don't you love your country?
This is very true and I agree with it 100%. Tainting this tradition with unsubstantiated emotional desperate claims of racism is reprehensible though.
Okay so how much did it cost bush to fly to his ranch that he spent 75% of his presidency at?? Really this is what judical watch does????
