Obozo Golfing This Afternoon (again) And Partying (again) This Evening (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110312/ap_on_re_us/us_obama_preview_1 - broken link)
Nothing much going on...so party on Hussein!
The last I heard Barack Obama as President of the United States not Japan. He has the best communications technology in the world at his disposal. If his help or consultation was needed on any matter it would have been no problem contacting him.
Also like most good leaders reponsibility of assisting Japan has been delegated to the State Department and various contingents of the Department of Defense.
Obama is a clown, thus the name Obozo. Obama's given middle name is Hussein, thus it is accurate...as is Barry. I like Obozo because the scumbag fraud is an idiot clown.
Ok sparky, time to take your meds and go back to bed.
I got a stale twinkie out of a vending machine the other day.
I blame Obama and socialism. And the Jews.
OMG- I am SO sorry this happened to you. That's what the nanny state will get ya- a stale dang Twinkie! Michelle Obama is especially to blame on this one! She is busy jamming and sabotaging junk food vending machines- and no doubt with the help of her fellow rabbit food eating Mooslims!!

Ha ha Ha! This is a funny post! It's true. The left gets so mad when we call him anything other than Obama, even if we are calling him by his name or the names that he gave himself.
I can't rep you again, dangit!
The number of times obama has been golfing, the number of parties he has thrown is really unprecedented. He is totally clueless and out of touch, with this country on it's knees with the burden he has created, as well as what is happening around the world, but still...he has time for golfing and parties.
Yeah, that IS disgusting behavior.
If the facts don't back up your assertion the only thing one can infer is you have a personal bias against Barack Obama for any number of reasons.
Q: Has President Obama taken more vacation time than his predecessors?
A: According to one count, Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush spent more time on "vacation" during their first year than President Obama did. Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton spent less time on "vacation."
FULL ANSWER
President Obama has spent all or part of 26 days "on vacation" during his first year as president, according to CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller.
Knoller, who has covered every president since Gerald Ford and is known for keeping detailed records on presidential travel, counts the following among President Obama’s "vacations" in 2009:
A four-day holiday weekend in Chicago in February where the president played some basketball and treated First Lady Michelle Obama to a Valentine’s Day dinner date.
An eight-day stay with his family at a rented house on Martha’s Vineyard in August.
A trip out west to the U.S. states of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and Arizona that combined both business and pleasure. The president held town hall meetings on health care during the trip. And he went fly fishing and took trips to Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Canyon with his wife and two daughters.
An 11-day stay in Hawaii where the president and his family celebrated Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
Some of the president’s recent predecessors, however, have spent more days — either entirely or partially — away from the White House "on vacation" during their first year in office.
President Reagan, in 1981, spent all or part of 42 days away from the White House "on vacation" at his home in Santa Barbara, Calif, according to Knoller. President Reagan and his wife, Nancy, also spent three or four days around New Year’s Day each year in Palm Springs, Calif., at the home of philanthropist Walter Annenberg. (In 1993 the late Mr. Annenberg founded the nonpartisan Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania, which is FactCheck.org’s parent organization.)
President George W. Bush spent even more time away from the presidential mansion in the nation’s capital than Reagan. Of the 77 total "vacation" trips the former president made to his Texas ranch while in office, nine of them — all or part of 69 days — came during his first year as president in 2001, according to Knoller.
Bush’s father, President George H.W. Bush, spent less time "on vacation" during his first year than his son, but spent more days than President Obama. According to travel records provided to FactCheck.org by the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum, the former president took six trips — spanning all or part of 40 days — to the Bush family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1989. The archivist at Bush’s presidential library told us she didn’t have a list of all vacations but did have the Kennebunkport visits.

It's the reason behind you doing it that many find offensive.
I seem to remember Bush running off to the ranch fairly often. Actually I think he took more vacation time than any other president in his first few years.
President Bush recently spent his 879th day at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, since the Supreme Court, in all its great wisdom, elevated him to the presidency. This according to NPR's "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me," which noted that Bush broke former President Reagan's record for taking vacations from the White House.rIt's interesting to recall, all these wild years later, that George W. Bush did not decide to buy the ranch near Crawford until after he decided to run for president. Apparently, after Ronald Reagan's example, it seemed presidential to cut brush on a ranch, and Bush was seeking a brush with history. Or something.
Or maybe Karl Rove decided Bush should buy a ranch. (Easy for him to decide - it wasn't his money.) Somebody should have asked the Architect about this when he was here Sunday. Then the Rove-meister could have told questioner that he had a simple, untended brain. Rove, as it turns out, is an expert on simple, untended brains.
