Among recent presidents, Bill Clinton took the least time off -- 28 days."

So you're comparing Bush WORKING at his ranch to Obama taking a VACATION. It's no wonder libs think everything should be free, you don't know what work is.

"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.

Yer all bunch of nobody's and an embarrasement to what coservatism is all about.

if re-elected I would expect him to get out in front of the mid term house and senate seat elections and campaign for the Dems. Maybe help the GOP boot out the Tea Party and radical right. The economy will no doubt be better and if he gets bigger numbers of Dems in the House and Senate he will push through all of his campaign promises and pave the way for Al Gore's presidency.

Far right politics commonly includes authoritarianism, anti-communism, nativism and racialism.
Typically, the term far right is applied to fascists and neo-Nazis, and major elements of fascism have been deemed clearly far right, such as its belief that supposedly superior people have the right to dominate society while purging allegedly inferior elements, and — in the case of Nazismgenocide of people deemed to be inferior.The far right claims that superior people should proportionally have greater rights than inferior people.The far right has historically favoured an elitist society based on belief of the legitimacy of the rule of a supposed superior minority over the inferior masses.Far-right politics usually involves anti-immigration and anti-integration stances towards groups that are deemed inferior and undesirable. Concerning the socio-cultural dimension (nationality, culture and migration), a far-right position could be the view that certain ethnic, racial or religious groups should stay separate, and that the interests of one’s own group should be prioritised.

Yes, that would probably be a great idea or perhaps the best thing he can do as a president for the sanity of this country and then perhaps the REAL Conservative can return back to being Conservatives, folks like me and many others.

I have a personal ambition something like that. In NH there is around 40 Common Man eatery's. Each with it's own unique atmosphere. One was a peg mill once and there is the winery table in what was once the wood boiler, where timbers were burned to run steam engines. You sit in the room where FIRE was!

Of course there are many other rooms some still with odd bits of machinery, and this one is also a INN.

Others were restored buildings and yet others are older all stainless steel dinners. Anyway my ambition is to get up early one day and ride the motorcycle to each one and down a mug of beer, and ride to the next hitting up all of them in the same day

IMO that would be better than playing a round with the ONE!
