IMO, most people who dislike Obama, are either blatant or latent racists.

...That includes the latent racists who voted for him too!

Days spent on vacation during term:

Obama: 138
GWB: 490
Clinton: 174
Reagan: 349

Enough said. Quit yer whining.
You do realize that you are comparing apples to oranges don't you?

GWB, Clinton and Reagan have vacation figures based on a full eight years. Obamas figure is based on five and a half years (and he is working hard at increasing the figure).

You might try citing actual and comparable facts before your next post.

Enough said, cite the actual facts.

First: Why can't y'all righties get to the point? NO, you tell

Jeez, another attempt at evasion and attempt to shift blame. Learn a new song or update your lemming memo.

Wonder why your own republicon leadership doesn't convene itself out
of "patriotism"? Not important enough, right? The constitution gives the
President authority to convene Congress on "extraordinary occasions" so why do
you think he should call your heroes off their vacations because of this latest
slaying? Do you know our young soldiers are still being murdered in Afghanistan
and Iraq almost daily, or has Fox not told you?
Wonder why your democratic leadership has not reconvened itself out of patriotism to deal with the problems in the world.

Those "young solders" that you claim are still being killed, especially in Iraq, are not there according to your leader, Obama. Look it up.

As for why he should call anyone off of vacation to deal with present problems, how about to get authorization to act? He won't, of course, because he thinks he can ignore the constitution in his efforts to run the country all by himself.

Second: Here are some "facts" for you. Bills which repubs send to the
senate are designed to sabotage democratic initiatives, and riders are also
attached to a variety of bills in an effort to destroy them - then y'all
dittoheads cry "foul" because of what Faux News has told you. For instance a
rider on many bills says "if you want this legislation to pass, you must repeal
the ACA". Then these bills are of course blocked by dems. Get it now? That's
your repub congress at work.





Since you know all about what senate dems are doing, you certainly know about
that obstructionist tactic over six years, right? You know about Mitch
McConnel's sworn pledge to destroy the Obama presidency at all cost, do you not?
You certainly know about the repub leadership meeting of 2009 where they pledged
the same. It's out there in the public domain, so what do you think about that?
Y'all dittoheads are quite amazing
.
And here are some facts for you.

No one has to work toward obstructing the Obama presidency. He has done a fine job of that all by himself.

That and you have glaringly displayed your bigotry and lack of consideration toward anything that doesn't fit your idolatry of your masters. Unlike, apparently, you some of us do not need others to tell us what to think.

BTW, you should consider that the R's have sent many bills on such things as health care and taxes to the senate only to have them stonewalled. Then your precious senate dems claim that the republicans have no plan or have forwarded a bill.

Who are those obstructing the process? Guess.

Even Bob Beckel said it was wrong what he did. You know, the problem with Obama, among other things is his timing: it isn't so much what he does, but how he does it.. I get the impression he is so arrogant that he sees nothing wrong with whatever he does. I also think he has already tuned out and is just waiting for 2016 to get here. He really doesn't much care what the American people think about him.

I get this impression too. It's the things he says and does that show he doesn't care about the office of presidency, and that he's quite comfortable with people knowing that. He leans over the podium when talking, feet up on the desk when on the phone, fist pumping and laughing five minutes after he announces his despair over the beheading of an American journalist, invites people like Jay Z and Beyoncé to the White House, gives a legitimate job to race baiter Al Sharpton, nonstop campaigning. Also something he said when he first got into office paraphrased "No matter what happens to this country, I know my daughters will be okay." His mind is set on post presidency pension and being set up for life.

Pretty much, unless Obama takes off most of his last 2 years, he won't reach those figures.

The comparison is still sound.

Harry Reid will not bring up house bills for,votes, why is that. If he heads enough votes to defeat the bills whys he so scared to bring them up to a vote.
Congress ratings mean little as 95 percent will re elected
