Nope i am no fool. Did not believe him in 08 nor trusted him. In 2012 i still don't trust him, nor beleive in him. Too many lies, too many blame games.

And the blame games, are always pointed at someone else, never himself!

It's a shame the self-Righteous aren't as concerned when a POTUS screws the country as they are when one has sex.

Obama will want to spend as much time away from DC as possible. There will be non-stop investigations on Fast and Furious and Benghazi.

Hillary and congress didn`t throw the UN weapons inspector team out of the country. Bush ALONE can be blamed for that and the deaths of 4,500 u.s. soldiers. Benghazi? 4 dead.

"Everybody has always said that you really can't be prepared to be the president, and then until you're the president, you don't know exactly what it's going to be like," Jarrett said.
"And so I think one of the things that he (Obama) has said, upon reflection, is that he's going to spend a lot more time traveling around the country.

I'm sure Moochelle can't wait.

Just another reason Clinton was great. He worked hard at the job, the numbers show it. Like any person who is good at their job, they have an undying passion for it.

Uhh, blamed what exactly on Bush? I stated the straightforward fact that characterizing Obama as a president who takes too much vacation time is inaccurate, with a source. Nothing more. And for the second time on this thread, the knee-jerk anti-obama response is to reply with insults instead of facts to counter this.
You guys are really on a hair trigger, huh?
