if you want to bring up the ranch and act like Bush wasnt doing any work when he was there, then it will be hypocritical of you to bash people for saying Obama golfs too much.

It's all superficial, simplistic and ridiculous, and ignorant of what Presidents do on a daily basis, day in and day out.

what are you refering to by "it's"

because your reply didnt seem to have anything to do with my post.

are you saying a President has to be sitting at his desk in the Oval office to be able to work?

There are no secure phone lines at a Ranch in Texas?

No. I was agreeing with your post. They obviously work when they are not in Washington. The Presidency is where the President is. Attacking a President for not being in Washington, for not being in the country, for traveling the world, is petty and ridiculous.

I am trying to point out the hypocrisy of those that bash Obama, but didn't bash Bush for being the President who vacationed more than any other (and don't even know that our Congress is hardly in session any more)

for Coach's picture.

And when they are working they even take group photos where they all look at a television with a dropped satellite feed.

Because the truth is secondary to a good photo op.

For all we know they could of been watching...

Absolutely...it's necessary to travel, called diplomacy and every President does it. Being President of the United States is the most demanding job there is and I'll never be critical of our President for taking a little "down time"...there are huge difference in opinion between Obama's supporters and Republicans, one would think there is plenty to rail against other than petty crap like this!

oh my gosh that is funny.

the only difference is that you think you are better than the others.

really, when it comes down to it, there are no differences. the dems were equally as bad about railing against petty crap when Dubya was president.

I agree...I never criticized Bush for vacations, his perceived poor college grades or any other trivial crap, when I opposed him it was his politics. As I've said many times, I'm not a big fan of Obama's politics either but the "Obama hate" present on this board and throughout our society today is malignant. Speaking out against his policies is one thing, the constant conspiracy theories and personal attacks is another....and this "I think I'm better" crap is a cop out, I'm expressing my views exactly the same as others...
