How about some examples of how Cheney was "really" in charge?
Bob Woodward is a respected political investigator and author. How about reading the book and/or the Post article linked above if you really want to know about how Cheney was actually calling all the shots?
Obama makes Bush look like a workaholic. Did anyone tell him that being President of the US is a full time job? When is the guy going to start treating this like a full time gig and do something productive? I hope all the "Hope and Change" crowd learned their lesson, never vote for the rhetoric, vote experience. Obama will be the worst one term President in our history.
What is it.... Obama working night and day to nationalize and socialize all aspects of our government? Or Obama the lazy Chicago gangsta?
*eyeroll*
And he's not gonna be a one-termer because the Republicans have seriously gone off the deep end. Just like nobody wanted to see a Goldwater/Mondale/Dukakis/Dole administration, nobody wants to see a Palin/Romney/Paul administration. Downs's theory y'all.
Oh, I disagree, especially about the Goldwater/Mondale ticket! We desperately NEEDED Goldwater (or somebody like him) to LEAD us through the Viet Nam quagmire. With Goldwater at the helm, we just MIGHT have succeeded over there instead of running with our tail between our legs!
Oh, and before some of you open wide and stick your foot down your throat, YES, I WAS THERE, with the 25th Infantry Division, 1966! There were MANY of us who wanted Goldwater!
"nobody wanted to see a Goldwater/Mondale...administration"! What a STUPID statement!
Oh give me a freaking break, we can go back and forth forever, he's better no he's better .BOLOGNA! NEITHER PARTY IS, they say whatever to get elected, both parties, then once elected, everything comes their own agenda, and what they think is best, not what we think is best. In my opinion both parties have let us down, neither one in my opinion get's very high marks.
I know that politicians will say anything to get elected. That being said, Obama fooled a lot of people into thinking that he was different. (remember "Hope and Change"?) Not only is he not different, by he is the most partisan President in history.
Well if you are concerned about a part time president here are some recent numbers.
Vacation days taken
Obama - 27 days in first year. on track for 216 days in 8 yr
GW Bush - 879 -8yr 30%
Clinton - 152 days -8yr - 5 %
Bush sn - 543 days - 4yr 37%
Reagan - 335 days -8yr - 11%
Carter - 79 days -4 yr 5%
To make the math easy there are 1461 days in a 4 year term
Carter and Clinton kept their time off similar to what most Americans get, 3 weeks / year.
Must be nice to have an 8 year gig you get nearly 3 yrs of vaca for...
