elected. Where were the howls of outrageous from the Right when Bush was in office? It's a no brainer.

Is everyone on the left dense? It's a no brainer! Why do you think Republicans lost the last electons? Many Republicans stayed away from the voting booths because of Bush's actions.

Clearly you can't read because I didn't say that.

I didn't like it when the left did it and I think it's just as stupid for the right to do it, especially when their defense is "well you did it first"

because in the end while the media is out catering to the few crazy people who actually care about the number of rounds that ANY president is playing there's a story that actually deserves media attention that is not getting any.

Here's the article from the Washington Post, not the CNS whine about it.

washingtonpost.com: Before Golf, Bush Decries Latest Deaths In Mideast

Now, I've read that article, and I don't find it particularly critical. What exactly strikes you as critical to the same level as the criticism being leveled at Obama by CNS?

And does everyone on the right hide behind a Bush as well? Because you can't actually miss the title of the thread, which is a comparison between Obama and Bush, and then whine when people actually do compare Bush and Obama? I mean, you can whine, but since the comparison was invited, you can't put down people for actually comparing.

No but that is what youre saying

We should track what the president is doing like playing golf. Then next thing you know thats all they are doing but maybe appearing an hour a day because there is no one watching them.

Hey I dont agree with who did it 1st either. I just questioning you only pointing it out to those on the right.

You dont think the media can cover both things? Have you gotten on the Times for the lack of covering on things like acorn?

I didn't point it out to those on the right...again you are not reading clearly.

I acknowledged that the left did it as well and I didn't approve or partake in it then. It's all fine and dandy for the media to let us know what the president is up to but I think at this point it's gotten out of hand...I see more news coverage on what Michelle and Barack did for their Saturday night date then the things actually going on in government.

I'm concerned about health care. I'm concerned about unemployment. I'm concerned about the current welfare system. I'm concerned about the real estate market. I'm not concerned about things on Twitter, or Facebook or where Michelle brought her outfit or if her daughters hair should be natural or relaxed - sadly I seem to be in the minority.

You want to make this out to be "oh you're only complaining because you're an Obama supporter" no I'm complaining because the news is spending more time covering frivolous topics than actual news.

Well, I didn't Vote Obama or McCain. I voted Libertarian.
It's not anyone's fault that McCain picked an idiot
as a VP, or that the Republicans picked McCain as their candidate, or that Republicans stayed home and didn't vote. It's the Republicans fault. Even if you all came out and voted - who is to say McCain would have won any way? That logic works both ways. Better luck next time. Wish me the same Try not to be a poor loser, it just
makes you look pathetic. Get a platform, educate, and
drop the Republican propaganda - it doesn't work. You
have seen the results of that. Vote Libertarian next time
