On a serious note, after his schedule was revealed after the death of bin Laden it seems like his hardest decisions occurs around his "pleasure" moments. He is Cool Hand Luke at the height of action.

Yup...me too!!

the irrational, immature outrage is beyond anything reasonable

I am so angry and tired of ALL the hate and disparagement directed at my President (right and left both)

you covered it all handmade34!

Somehow they didn't fucking bother to notice when G. W. did it to much much more of an extreme. It pisses me off a lot that the right wing media can get away with this shit and not be called to account for its raw partisanship or worse.

was ALWAYS on vacation?
He could have cut all the brush in Texass in the time he was on "vacation!"

when he was tippling.

And why do I get the feeling it's a Big Deal now because, for a lot of these people, "his kind" should only be allowed at golf courses as caddies?

with media figures supposedly representing "liberal" and "conservative" perspectives. The "conservative" speaker brought up this vacation bullshit. It's unreal.

I'm very thankful for this president's leadership in most every way.

Talking about the fact that he took (or tried to take) a vacation this summer is as meaningful as talking about German chancellor Angel Merkel's hair style.

That is so sad, they use to make a difference.

They still feature interesting, enlightening, and in-depth stories on societal issues. Hell, you could say that since Mara Liasson left a few years ago that they've become less right-wing.

Couldn't listen to Steve Inskeep anymore.

down talk the president. the arrogance of news casters inserting their personal opinions and political slant into every report on the actions of the president is not news journalism. i seldom if every listen to them anymore and i sure as heck no longer donate.

That's 2 1/2 years. Although his whole term was a vacation while Poppy, The Dick and Condi did all the work.

Whereas President Obama probably just sits around watching TV while the red phone rings...

/sarcasm

actual much earned vacation, she. Thank you for your OP.. I've seen rumblings about this and it pisses me off as it does Allen Clifton the writer of this piece.. who is from the Dallas Ft Worth area in Texas.

Five myths about presidential vacations

3. George W. Bush took more vacation days than any other president.

During his eight-year presidency, Bush did take 879 days of vacation, including 77 trips to his Texas ranch. So far, Obama has taken about 150 days off. But our founders were away even more.

And, Dick head knows this..

Have to mention the a$$holes in Congress who did nothing all year and are now on a 5 week vaca with pay while they won't raise the Minimum Wage for actual hard working Americans.

And, glad they decided it was wrong to use that derogatory word in their headline even though it was exposing the racism in America against President Obama... from your link..

"The writer James Lincoln Collier penned an opinion piece for the July edition of WestView News, which was entitled: “The N***** in the White House”.

Despite the use of the racist slur, the column was actually a pro-Obama piece that suggested far-right opposition to the President was influenced by the colour of his skin.

Collier wrote: “These far right voters hate Obama because he is black. The simple truth is that there is still in America an irreducible measure of racism.”

Bottom Line.. from your 1st link..

"The last thing any American should want is a president who’s so stressed out that they’re on the verge of a psychotic breakdown. And the media, both the left and the right, really needs to stop this nonsense of shaming presidents every time they might dare take some kind of a vacation or – gasp – even play a round golf. -

My President who's hard at work even though he takes some time away to play golf and clear his head.

Thank you for all you posted. You said it better than I did.

Oh, please. Here’s a fun fact: Presidents of the United States are honest to God human beings. I don’t care what position they might hold, they’re people.

This President is a living breathing human being. He deserves respect. Period. End of Discussion.

and what you linked...

That is the truth!

BOG

incoherent garbage about Obama golfing "while the world burns."

Freaky CNN is so desperate for ratings they host people from Glenn Beck's racist and fascist site and hand her a megaphone to blast her verbal excrement into the medias sphere....I see a problem with that.

From the PukeBaggers.

How many days has Boner not worked and played golf?

will find anything to drag this man over the coals.

there's plenty he's done to betray my trust, but taking a break from probably the shittiest job in the world deserves a break. I feel bad for him sometimes.

Wait until they find out when he has his next bowel movement.

We won't hear the end of their sh*tty comments.

That's all they have.

The good news is that anger is fear translated.

Assh*les beware. You are justified in your fear. The end is near for you and your stark raving insane cohorts.

Love, Peace and the Righteous Fight!

"Assh*les beware. You are justified in your fear. The end is near for you and your stark raving insane cohorts." - Yes, yes, yes!

Our ideals are winning and they are scared sh*tless!

Its been proven that vacation days increase productivity anyway.

that they must take some time away from it to decompress and relax. Doing so, helpds to maintain their health and benefits their mental & physical performance in that job.

People HAVE to have outlets like this to function properly and well.

The attacks are just from ignoramuses trying to score political points.

I LOVE this man ! He always thinks before he speaks , a rare quality in any one . He truly cares about all of us .

He has really faced a most awful time in World History ,nothing but strife , hatred , bigotry , and blatant racism . And what a truly wonderful family to love and support him

I will always have his back , and be deeply grateful for his sysiphian effort on behalf of our country , and world peace .

Bushler golfs while the world burns; Obama golfs when the job is done, and by all accounts he did what he had to do in that speech. An instructive compare-and-contrast for those paying attention IOW.

I am so sick of that narrative. And the people who speak it know it is total BULLSHIT! Any US President has all the resources he needs close at hand hand, wherever he is.

If i had to put up with all the shit he takes every day from the Republican hate gang I'd probably be an alcoholic!

we'd be dropping bombs on dark-skinned women and children right now.

I'd much rather have the President golfing than following the same old, tired, failed warmongering policies that have created this situation in the first place.

Thank Goddess we have a pro-choice and pro-peace President!!!!

Let's do it again!

you're either an alcoholic or you're not. Guess that was nitpicking. Take it from one who knows first hand.

Ditto. I've been concerned about his health. Oh, I know he's healthy, but he looks so damn exhausted. Who wouldn't be? As we've said, he's a human being. An extraordinary one, but human nevertheless.

Damn, must get sleep, can't seem to turn the ole brain off tonight. Be well all you good people and enjoy what's left of the weekend.
