But it is funny watching clowns like you defend Obama's vacations after all the caterwauling about Bush being at Crawford. Sort of how we were told endlessly that Club Gitmo was an horrible stain upon our national honor when Dubya was president, but somehow it's become the new normal with Little Black Jesus.<br /><br />And regarding the free market, let's go to the tape. Here's what you said at 9.05am yesterday, addressing Jay:<br /><br /><i>If you believe Obama has substantially different views on the free market system from his predecessors of the last 50 years, tell me what he's said and done that distingushes him.</i><br /><br />So, no, to weasel out of it, you didn't say "identical." You stipulated "substantially different." A distinction without a difference. But you never did answer - even after being asked several times by several posters - how you came to the conclusion Obama's views were <i>not</i> substantially different, a query you never answered, apparently the mere statement constituting irrefutable proof in your mind.<br /><br />In short, you're proving yourself a slightly more coherent garage mahal. If that's your goal in life, don't let me stop you.Christopher in MAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833020990663388610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-27573839184438054992012-07-25T09:32:18.856-05:002012-07-25T09:32:18.856-05:00Jack has it occurred to you that Reagan and Bush w...<i>Jack has it occurred to you that Reagan and Bush went to their homes on the 'vacations' and actually worked?</i><br /><br />Spin, spin, spin.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04751703076034145356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-91279615628183589812012-07-25T09:12:12.214-05:002012-07-25T09:12:12.214-05:00Carnifex said...

Technically true but both instances were the result of the work done by prior presidents. At least Nixon had the class not to take credit for the moon landing. Obama unfortunately will never have the class that Nixon had.<br /><br />AP: you are getting week. You can and have done better in the past.<br /><br />"And if you don't like folks talking about you, you probably shouldn't run for president. The one thing I do have no patience for is this argument that somehow what I'm criticizing is success. . .I want to promote success," Obama said." Yes be successful so I can tax the crap out of you and demonize you in the process. After all I need your money to finance my peeps. Obama and the democrats are such a target rich environment that using the oval office as a stage prop doesn't even enter the target list.<br /><br />Jack has it occurred to you that Reagan and Bush went to their homes on the 'vacations' and actually worked? Must be a stretch for you.

At this point in their presidencies, George W. Bush had spent 180 days at his ranch where his staff often joined him for meetings.
