Well, of course the easy answer is: hypocrisy and selective memories.

Not only are tax payers paying him for the outings - he probably is using this as a ploy to increase his business.

Well those from both sides including those who disagree with him have called Obama detailed oriented and of course Pelosi's comments while worded very poorly were about the death panels and misconceptions about the bill. But lets not let facts get in the way of a rant...

Yeah, like this trump accomplishment? Using the tax money from some 25,000 American families to subsidize the trump family lifestyle.

"the Secret Service requesting an additional $60 million in its next budget: $27 million to protect the president’s wife and son in their three-floor penthouse at Trump Tower in New York, where they live instead of the White House, and $33 million for additional travel costs.

The average family of four in the United States pays about $4,000 a year in federal income taxes. That means the entire tax bill for 15,000 families for the year will go toward these additional protection measures for Trump. And the Secret Service is just a slice of the overall expense. Figure in costs incurred by authorities in Florida and New York, the Pentagon and others, and costs related to the Trump sons’ international business trips, and we’re well over $100 million a year."

"That’s the annual federal income-tax bill for some 25,000 American families."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/ampht...6b5_story.html

Oh, and there is this tiny, tiny detail... somehow "oblunder' got a healthcare bill passed into law. Not a great one, but he succeeded where trump has already failed. Bigly failed.

What has he "accomplished?" I just heard on the news that Carrier announced that the jobs Trump claims t have saved in Indiana are going to be replaced by automation. Almost everything he has taken credit for "accomplishing" is failing. (the travel ban, the wall, repeal & replace)

Are you guys seeing this? Trump accomplished more in 64 days than Obama did in 8 years?

Does that include his executive orders on immigration being blocked twice and his healthcare plan failing?

Obama got his first bill passed through the House on January 28, 2009 (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009), a mere eight days after he took office. His second one was on January 29th (Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009). Then, on February 4th he signed into law The State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). That was all accomplished within the first three weeks he was in office.

Meanwhile, Trump's very first attempt was an abject failure. He has a long, long way to go to catch up to his predecessor.

The way some (not all) of you conservatives just completely ignore the facts is actually kind of scary. It's like you live in a bubble.
Of course I see the issue. The issue is that anything Trump does or does not do, will always be made into an issue. In fact, "Wolf" has been cried so many times,no one cares anymore. I didn't care what Trump "Tweeted" about Obama, and sure don't care what what your posting now. He can play all he wants, because he is still doing what he promised he would do, which is a lot more than Obama did in 8 years. Go find something more substantial that golf balls. They aren't vital to our Nation.
