If you’re going to take a vacation, then take a vacation…without taking the steno pool with you. How can that be a vacation?

Sorry, Mr. Axelrod - I really think you miss the point. Being, it’s the amount of vacation, and the things accomplished while you’re not on vacation. I don’t give a rats patootie what you do.
By any measure other than dead foreigners, and citizens for that matter PBO has Chimpy beat significantly. Jobs, jobs created, the DOW, size of the deficit, size of government in general all significantly better under PBO.
And what’s he supposed to do while the congress critters are all on vacation themselves? He could issue executive orders I suppose; Congress would be OK with that, right?

I am so tired of these apologetic Democrats…

I have to agree, and I’ll support your bid for governor if you’ll add leaf blowers, lawn trimmers, and especially Japanese motorcycles to your platform.
I don’t care to shoot them myself, you understand. But if we could sent the Ferguson cops over to…ahem…control them that would be great.

Just a dream, but you started it.

But dang, those jet skis are **

fun

**! I’ll miss the occasional ride…

True that!

…it’s the conservative way!

“The demands and pressures of the presidency are relentless, and we ought to want our presidents to get small breaks to relax”

Right, but I’m still trying to figure out when Dubya was relaxing and when he was on the job. 24-hour party President?

nick berg was beheaded in 2004, bush was playing lots of golf then

This isn’t the first time that Axelrod has displayed the early warning signs of Alzheimer’s. He keeps publicly saying that he regrets that Democrats are fighting back. Definitely suffering from the same malaise the Bill Clinton did when the approved NAFTA.

Nobody cares if Republicans don’t like us. It proves we are doing something right.

W didn’t know when he was working because Cheney took away his royal scepter and replaced it with a mountain bike. He was too busy tooling around DC to notice that Darth had unmanned him.

I frankly wished yah all would shut up about the golfing…it was stupid then and it’s stupid now.

For fuck’s sake David, give it a rest.

Putin’s resupply in the Ukraine if benevolent, is a win, , ISIS NOT having WMD is a win, and golf is at issue?

The GOP hates the ne_ra in the WH, no one else cares what he’s doing for leisure and, he deserves to be playing some golf.

Whoa, you’ve officially blown my mind.

Now watch this drive!

I’m actually ticked at Obama on this one. He should have known what horrible optics golf has, especially after Bush. Maybe he likes the sport, but he put his fellow Democrats in an awkward position. He left us explaining that he takes a fraction of the vacation time Bush took, which the numbers say is true but the photos say is false. If you’re explaining, you’re losing. Or at least if you’re explaining, you’re doing damage control. I wish he had stuck to basketball.

Right, and if a photographer had caught him smiling on the court, the response would have been different? Not bloody likely. It’s not the sport the GOP is seizing upon, it’s the smile – the implication that Obama is laughing in the face of the horrible Foley beheading. Now, every person who isn’t a complete and utter liar knows that a photographer can catch anyone in a smile at any time, including in the aftermath of horrible news, so it’s entirely incumbent on political enemies to make hay of that photo, which the GOP is naturally doing. Having Axelgrease agree with their enmity in any way, shape or form, giving the GOP a gift of betrayal, is what’s stunning here.

Hey, Twisted-Around-The-Axlerod, watch this drive:

So according to you, we were wrong for pointing out the man is a tone-deaf imbecile. Got it.

Bush was on vacation for three of his eight years. If you can’t defend Obama against that record, you’re about as useless as teats on a bull. Goddamned spineless Democrats.
