You have no clue do you? Have you seen homeless camps to the degree we have now under previous adminstrations? Make an attempt to educate yourself on the homeless, starving situation in the United States under this administration. Did you know that there are entire neighborhoods in Detroit that have no support services? Families are living in abandoned homes and buildings. Is that acceptable to you?
Actually yes. It was worse under Reagan, but some people always conveniently forget that.
So no citizen of the US should travel because some aren't working?
You cutting your holidays out?
You going to see your friends and family, well just don't.
Tighten your belt.
How absurd.
Bush played golf while major offensives were going on.
Did you whine then?
and didn't Wonderboy strum a geetar while new orleans was drowning? oh wait, that was during summer recess.
The obama kids are on christmas break, so are all you silly anti-obama people saying they shouldn't take a family vacation to their dad's homestate? And are you also insinuating that they should stay in some resort or discount hotel? 4K for a secure private location where people don't have to be uprooted vs. emptying out a resort for security purposes? yea, that's a great idea.
Alaska is a long way off too. If we ever get a president from there are we going to frown on him/her going home for Christmas? Or is it only Obama who is not allowed to go home for the holidays? Hawaii not a foreign country for crying out loud.
If you ask Cokie Roberts, Hawaii is a "foreign place".
Democrats are usually anti-war and Obama promised he'd bring our troops home--which I'd certainly be in favor of. The wars we are in are stupid, unwinable and too expensive and aren't worth wasting a single American life over. But what has he done instead? He is now sending an ADDITIONAL 30,000 troops over there!!!
Are you always this HYSTERICAL when you're WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG?!!!!
"As Obama removes our combat brigades from Iraq, he will send at least two additional brigades to Afghanistan, where the Taliban is resurgent. He will also provide our armed forces with the reset capability that they need. He will replace essential equipment, and he will ensure that our men and women in uniform get the care and support they have earned."
For G-d's sake, his campaign website is STILL UP! You can read what he had to say about it directly from the original source!
"Resurgent Al Qaeda in Afghanistan: The decision to invade Iraq diverted resources from the war in Afghanistan, making it harder for us to kill or capture Osama Bin Laden and others involved in the 9/11 attacks. Nearly seven years later, the Taliban has reemerged in southern Afghanistan while Al Qaeda has used the space provided by the Iraq war to regroup, train and plan for another attack on the United States. 2007 was the most violent year in Afghanistan since the invasion in 2001. The scale of our deployments in Iraq continues to set back our ability to finish the fight in Afghanistan, producing unacceptable strategic risks."
Barack Obama never, ever -- not once -- promised to pull troops out of Afghanistan once he was elected. In fact, he said exactly the opposite.
Now go take a Xanax or something and calm the hell down.
Just out of curiosity... how many weeks of paid vacation does the POTUS get per year... I know the most I have heard of people getting is 4 weeks... just curious what the POTUS gets... is there even a number?
No, really. You know, the "busy schedule" that has room for 879 days down on the ranch - which, if you're into arithmetic, works out to around 30 percent of eight years.
If you ask Cokie Roberts, Hawaii is a "foreign place".
She didn't say that. She said, "I know Hawaii is a state but it has the LOOK of going to an exotic place." Look at the video you posted above in #165.
