There they go again-- If you have a problem with Obama you must be a Bush lover. I love how the Obamatrons have nothing else but that argument. Even when it is absurdly off base

PARIS — President Barack Obama remains by far the most popular world leader among people in major Western nations and is the one political figure on whom people consistently pin their hopes in the economic crisis, according to new polls conducted for the International Herald Tribune
and that's what it's all about right? popularity in europe. never mind the fact that he's an unlikable idiot with no vision or direction. guess that's not important.

Obama reminds me of the Tommy rock opera in which in the end even he was turned on by his own followers. The higher they climb on the nonsense they bring, they further they fall into the abyss.

You may want to look again.

I see more and more conservative posters here and on other message boards using the NYT as a source along with WaPo and CNN.

It all depends on which story you choose to believe - the one printed in the NYT, or the same story verbatim printed on the Drudge Report or in the National Review or The American Spectator.

If they all carry the same story, how is one "Liberal" and the other "conservative"?

Aw, come on. Let's be accurate here.

Bush wasn't on vacation more than twelve days out of an average month he spent in office by actual count, not two weeks.

"Creep", however, is absolutely the perfect verb to describe his movements. Kudos.
