Between rounds of golf, Woodrow Wilson and Dwight Eisenhower somehow figured out how to take care of their jobs... but let's not consider that. This is all about the black guy in the White House. New rules.

Poor form to imply jetswin is a racist. Poor, poor form. He's been consistent with his views regarding Obama from the get-go; frankly, those views are no different than similar complaints from libs when W was potus.

We work hard to try to foster intelligent, reasonable, spirited discussion here, and the first thing you go to is, "jetswin doesn't like Obama because he's black."

Really bad job on your part. I'm disappointed too. I always thought you were more genuine in your leftist views than that. Now that you've shown your true colors, we all know what to expect from you -- or, at least, what you really mean when you say something.

Well, to be fair, he disbanded his "Job Council", and is watching his anti-semitic Defense Secretary embarass him in his nomination hearings.

Predictable positions are Prdictable: Any Criticism of Obama = Racism. Any Criticism of Bush = Patriotism

Get with the program, unless you're a RACIST too Paulie. ARE YOU???

If the rules are "new", how then can this CBS News Piece exist before Obama was President?

http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-502323_162-3927378.html

Guess it's not so new after all.

Oh it is racist when a white calls a black person out, but it is ok when the black person calls the white one out. Stupidity at it's finest!

Cool

Warfish -- not only did he disband his Jobs Council, he also closed the office that was responsible for closing Gitmo.

And if you don't agree that jobs and Guantanamo Bay are no longer important issues, you must be a racist.

Given that there is a long, long history of presidents engaging their time at the White House doing all sorts extracurricular activities, I find it incredibly disingenuous to bother making a thread about this kind of stupidity re Obama. Has nothing to do with my assessment of his performance in his actual presidential duties; it's just a straw man piece of nonsense. Jetwin would need to distinguish why Obama is different than any other president if he has a point. Threads like this just serve as a juvenile platform for all the crazies to launch their hate mail. I don't think that serves this forum well at all.

My "true colors." LOL.

When you give free money to losers, they will vote for you. He played the "class warfare" card and said "NO taxes for the lazy".
Longer unemployment. No money? No problem, the rich will pay for your health insurance. Default on your house? No problem. Fannie and Freddie will take care of it.
He is the classic socialist and regrettably Americans have become lazy. Not all, but just enough to elect this fool.

The argument is no different at all than when Bush spent an inordinate amount of time at his Texas ranch. And yet only now it MUST be tied to racism.

That's a serious charge you so flippantly threw at jetswin, and THAT does not serve us well at all. Your true colors, indeed. At least now we can be sure to take your future musings with a much needed grain of salt.

Looks like you missed the latest approval ratings.

Nor do you seem to understand that a vote against Romney is not necessarily an endorsement of Obama

The result is still the same - we all get what 51% deserve - potentially another 4 years of an unendorsed, yet entrenched incompetent Marxist in chief driving this country in reverse

If the search feature of this website didn't suck donkey balls, I would be pointing out the many, many, MANY threads and posts we had here when Bush was President on the issue of "vacation".

If I was more motivated, I would post the assortment of mainstream media articles written during teh Bush Era on the topic of vacation time.

But really, I don't have to. Pretty much everyhere here (I think) will see that claiming Jetswin is racist for raising the issue, Jetswin of all people, is about as laughable a claim as may have ever been made on J.I.

And like Paulie, I think it exposes the real racism here in this discussion, racism used as a weapon, to protect one sides political leaders from any criticism, as cynical and exploitive a use of racism as it comes.

Happily LiL, I don't think you're a racist for using that tactic. I just think it's so ingrained in liberals to see racism behind everything, behind every criticism, that it's just second nature now.

I would like to thank Paulie & Fish for defending me in this thread.

One more thing Fish as usual makes an astute point... the fact that racism is now used as a weapon against their "enemy" conservatives. It's really not common sense anymore it's us vs them in the eyes of libs. Imagine the outrage if a repub president spent 1.6mm in this economy to fly across country for little more than a campaign speech and followed it up with more multi media madness like a photo shoot.

Maybe he'll be in a speedo, it is swimsuit issue season (Matthews and others get tingly again).
