We are in the worst economic crisis since the great depression and this motherfucker decides to take a fucking vacation. Its August and he has already passed the amount of vacation time Bush took in one year. Guys a fucking joke, as well as his mindless hypocritical peons.

Like one man, even the leader of the so-called most powerful country in the world, could do anything about these things.

I'm an independent so I would like for someone to explain this to me.. Before election - He's gonna bring change and fix what bush ruined. Now - it's not the presidents fault. That is a contradictory statement guys c'mon

Ok so let's review. The more conservative side of this thinks that he is a hypocrite because he is taking a vacation. They also believe that higher taxes on the upper class will not bring in enough money to make a difference. It would in fact bring in $700 billion dollars over 10 years if the taxes on the rich were raised at the suggested rate. So if $700 billion dollars will not have a positive impact on the deficit or the economy, then the $1 million ( and that is a massive overestimation) that Obamas vacation costs should be so insignificant that it should not even cross your ignorant little mind that that will negatively impact our country in any way. And do you also think other presidents didn't take a shit ton of vacations? Bush took 250 days vacation and your beloved Reagan took off 335 days. So why does it matter if Obama takes a couple weeks off? Do you really think that Obama is in complete control of gas prices, the stock market, and our country as a whole? He really can do very little without the help of congress, and that is how our country was founded. So the lesson is to think before you speak.

Touché, he did bite off more than he could chew with that slogan for his campaign but we did finally get out of Iraq, eased tension in some countries that we've had troubles with and other stuff. So his term wasn't a complete waste. The real problem with our country is the two party system. The only thing people in congress care about these days is keeping up with their party's agenda and fuck everyone else which gets our country nowhere but backwards.

if you were president you'd need a damn vacation now and then too. It's one of the most stressful jobs in the whole world dude.

also you have a very short term memory. The tax cuts on the rich from the early 90's and the mobilization of our technology and middle class to china starting in the 1980s caused the recession, it only began to precipitate this quickly because of BUSH JR's WAR IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.

Exactly what I was thinking : ) We all go on vacations so why shouldn't he be able to?! It's not like the country shuts down when he goes on vacation anyways....... the country is just shutting down because we're all greedy ignorant fucks.

You are a damned fool. Bush got the United States into the crisis their experiencing. The Bush tax cuts and the war in the middle east that cost around $1 bn a day are prime examples. Bush got out just as shit hit the fan, now you're trying to make it seem like Obama was the cause of the US' problems. Fuck you and your ingnorance. Bush and the republicans dug the hole and threw obama in it.

O we are out of Iraq? I didnt know that, neither does my brother who is there now getting shot at everyday and watching 9 year old brainwashed kids through grenades at him. I will write on his FB now and tell him he doesn't have the stay for the remaining 12 months of his tour.

Going to his ranch and Camp David to get out of DC isn't taking 10 days off to go chill on MV. Obama should be calling congress back into session and trying to work through some of our many problems.

My point is that the economy wasn't in bad shape, we werent fighting a two front war at the time and he could afford to take time off. Its all obamas fault the economy is like this, but in such dire time I think his concern should be with the American taxpayers well being, not body surfing off the Cape.

well its a little late in the game to kinda change that dont you think?? damn i wish magic was real, just cast a spell to make a multi (more than 2) party system, that would be legit. sadly i dont think its possible for that to happen. and idk i guess id just hope that they all stop being dickheads and do whats right? but i could be asking too much.

say what you want about america but we have managed to go from a colony to the worlds super power in less than 300 years. sounds like a resume point to me. but in all seriousness. yeah i guess i just wish that obama would just do more. no im not attacking him because of politics, i could say the same about bush just as easily, but hes not our president right now. there was such a hype for obama and his "change" and shit, but really, the last 2 years just kinda show he is a little immature for the position. like i said. if he grew a pair started commanding congress to stop fucking around, lay down some rules, maybe we would be in a different place. leadership is KEY in being a president and idk i guess i just dont see it in him, seems like hes more of a sideline kinda guy.

What do you Teabaggers expect from the guy ? Even if he wasn't on vacation you would be bashing the job he is doing actively in the oval office. Keep in mind a president is ALWAYS working, via briefings and conference calling. God forbid he spends some quality time with his wife and kids like a normal family-man . Bush jr. took more vacation time than any US president that is a FACT. This thread is dildos.

Ummm...9/11 had just happened in Bushes first term, he DID deploy troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, and he DID still take vacations. You are shitting on Obama but in all honesty if McCain was to be elected we would be in a lot worse of a situation. Conservatives suck,liberals suck, and above all, you suck for being so close-minded and ignorant. You should just stick to claiming to get "pussy" and forget all about politics.

I'm sorry but this country doesn't run under an autocracy form of government. Obama can't suddenly make changes to help our econcomy, who you should be putting the blame on is our fucking congress because every single member is a greedy son of a bitch who cares more about their own well being over what's good for the country. So you can kindly fuck off.

Right. So...you're saying that even though Obama has actually helped improve our economy, he's still a joke/hypocrite/etc.....not sure if serious.

im not saying he shouldn't take a vacation but anyone who thinks he has done anything to improve the american economy clearly knows very little about economics. you might not understand now, but just a couple of years... the amount of debt / inflation he has caused cannot just disappear.

Yeah you're right, none of the republican candidates are imperfect right?


shut the fuck up OP, you're an idiot for blaming the economic recession on the president, the person who has the least amount of control of the government. I fucking hate when people say "obama sucks" but have nothing to back that statement up with other than "he's a terrorist"

guys, laxbro is obviously stubborn and will not change his opinion no matter what we say. even though bush was 10 times worse than obama, obama is black which means laxbro_40 is obviously a racist. so lets just let this die down to where no one can see it /end thread/

HOW HAS HE IMPROVED THE ECONOMY? do you not watch the news? DOW Industrial and the S&P are fluctating daily by over 400 points. Last time things like that happened was 1929 and the stock market soon after. Im not saying its all obamas fault, but some of it is. Whether you want to believe it or not he signed a bill bailing out failing banks, gave extremely large bonuses to CEOs of these banks, has not pulled us out of war (actually added 50,000 troops which is what bush wanted to do), and his main campaign goal of obamacare failed. he has done nothing positive what so ever.
