A girl got a pet goat. She liked to go running with her pet goat. She played with her pet goat in her house. She played with her pet goat in her yard.
But the goat did some things that made the girl’s dad mad. The goat ate things. He ate cans and he ate canes. He ate pans and he ate panes. He even ate capes and caps.
One day her dad said, “That goat must go. He eats too many things.”
The girl said, “Dad, if you let the goat stay with us, I will see that he stops eating all those things.”
He dads said, “We will try it.”
So the goat stayed and the girl made him stop eating cans and canes and caps and capes.
I downvoted it scndrbg.
You know, ‘cuz the whole Bush thing is just to put Obama’s shortcomings into some kind of perspective.
I mean, how do give someone a performance review without a benchmark…?
Hope that clears up any confusion.
How DARE you downvote something! You’re always bitching about getting even one downvote, yet here you are admitting to downvoting someone like the hypocrite you are.
You mean like deflection from his actual policies and decisions by snickering that the president sometimes plays golf just like very other fucking president ever? Yeah, about that…
May I note that there is a difference between “On Vacation” and “Not in Washington D.C.” which seems to confuse you and many like you. As an example, when meeting and having discussions with Heads of State when NOT in Washington D.C., one is not “On Vacation”:
November 14-15, 2001 Russian President Vladimir Putin
Apr 5-7, 2002 British Prime Minister Tony Blair
Apr 25, 2002 Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah
Aug 27, 2002 Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar Bin Sultan
Oct 25, 2002 Chinese President Jiang Zimen
Feb 21-22, 2003 Spanish President Jose Maria Aznar
May 2-3, 2003 Australian Prime Minister John Howard
May 22-23, 2003 Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi
Jul 20-21, 2003 Italian Prime Minister Silvo Berlusconi
Mar 5-6, 2004 Mexican President Vicente Fox
Apr 12, 2004 Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak
Nov 24, 2004 King Juan Carlos And Queen Sofia Of Spain
Mar 23, 2005 Mexican President Vicente Fox, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin
Apr 11, 2005 Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon
Apr 25, 2005 Saudi Crown Prince (now King) Abdullah
Aug 4, 2005 Colombian President Alvaro Uribe
That’s just Heads of State, the list for meetings with Administration Officials and Members of the Legislature is MUCH longer. You got something similar for your Guy Obama?
Oh, and attending Fund Raisers is NOT “Working for the Country”.
something similar? A random list of dates when GWB met with heads of state? I’m sure he could if he gave it some time, but what exactly do you think it proves?
Bush was on vacation for 490 days during his two terms. You show 21 days up there- if that’s even part of the count. You have failed to prove anything. Compared to Obama’s 138 days of vacation- it looks like you have a LOT of posting to do. (with links proving it’s true).
Different president, same argument. Just about every president in the 20th and 21st centuries has golfed. You could swap out with Bush Jr., or Bush Sr. or Clinton, or Einsenhower.
Tiki, you used to be better than joining in on this clown parade. You’d get 10x the hits as a cheap partisan hack blog, but is that really what you want to do with yourself and your site?
So you’d prefer he deal with crisis by torturing people? Or should he act like Bush and disappear for 3 days before doing the absolute minimum?

No matter how bad things get, if the ANY head of ANY country can’t spend some recreational time now and then, they’re going to be less effective at their job.
For those of you that missed it, a little bedtime story:
THE PET GOAT
A girl got a pet goat. She liked to go running with her pet goat. She played with her pet goat in her house. She played with her pet goat in her yard.
But the goat did some things that made the girl’s dad mad. The goat ate things. He ate cans and he ate canes. He ate pans and he ate panes. He even ate capes and caps.
One day her dad said, “That goat must go. He eats too many things.”
The girl said, “Dad, if you let the goat stay with us, I will see that he stops eating all those things.”
He dads said, “We will try it.”
So the goat stayed and the girl made him stop eating cans and canes and caps and capes.
I hope nobody finds this offensive.
Its just a grade-school reader.
What could possibly be offensive about teaching our youth to read?
🙂
A whole comment thread on presidential goofing off, and all you can think of is me, Stonely?
So what is it about me that gets your big girl panties in such a twist?
Chairman Barack can golf as often as he wants. Sure it might look bad to a country on food stamps and overwhelmed by illegals but hey. The problem is that when bad things are in progress or just completed – where is he? Governing or golfing? Perhaps if he wore a toga and played a lyre it might flip a switch?
Examples include but are not limited to: Following the Foley murder by moslems, he expressed his “grief” to the cameras and the Foley parents – when done? off to the course. He dithered for a month over rescuing Foley because he was worried it would go wrong. How did he deal with the stress? 7 golf days. They moved Foley from his reported location. Then they killed him.
Flies to California to lecture them on sharing resources due to the drought… then spends the rest of the trip golfing at the states top water hog courses. (Many of you won’t get that because you can’t do “self-awareness”.) Takes a hurried mini-brief regarding the ebola liberian in TX then? …yup …off to the course. To quote libtard Prince Piers Morgan: ““It’s time he got off the damn golf course, got up to speed with his intelligence briefings and focused on wiping out ISIS.” Obama has spent more hours devoted to golf than he has in Presidential Daily briefs. But that’s normal right?
Crap … I forgot about highest ranking American killed in combat since Vietnam – a 2 star General. Obiwon was actually golfing during the funeral. No Pres, No Biden to lighten up the occasion, not even the fucking SecDef! But by all means … tell a Bush story.
Another call-out. 🙂
Flattered Stonely….but seriously, you really should stick to the conversation at hand and stop trying to get my attention.
I’m not interested.

Aw….
Offended by a kids’ story….?
🙂
Busy, busy….
Let’s take note of the President with the record for most vacation days: your boy Bush.
Bush isn’t president. Obama is. The thing with deflection is that it IS avoidance. Like going to the links when shit is going down.
You’re a special kind of stupid, aren’t you?
What do you expect from a sockpuppet who spent his whole weekend clicking on thumb icons?
Hey 1eyed … I am having a personal good time here wondering if you will up or down click my last comment.
I downvoted it scndrbg.

^^Lookee here…yet another sockpuppet! 😀
Wow.
Another call-out from Stonely…?
I must really twist his knickers…or something.
🙂
^^^ more misogyny.
You’re absolutely right. I cringe at my inadequacy in the face of your clever prose, amazing insight and superb debating skills.
That’s what I figured. Were you raised near high power lines or possibly a nuclear reactor?
Hey grope .. I’m concerned that you might not have considered the time stamps and down voted the “wrong” one?
You mean like deflection from his actual policies and decisions by snickering that the president sometimes plays golf just like very other fucking president ever? Yeah, about that…

You’ve already confessed to downvoting someone, so I’m going to give you a downvote just to show you how it feels.
A whole comment thread on presidential goofing off, and all you can think of is me, Stonely?
So what is it about me that gets your big girl panties in such a twist?
Of all the replies you got, you zeroed in on mine and downvoted it, and then made misogynistic insults that imply women are inferior to men.
🙂
The obsession continues.
Regardless of who’s underwear you’re in….
^^^ Misogynist
I give up.
Obsess away….

Was your umbilical cord wrapped around your neck when you were born? Or, did it maybe have a knot tied in it? That could explain some things.
Has anyone told the Pet Goat story yet?
Shut up Gropegrope.
Another call-out. 🙂

Yep, I figured “drew” was another one of your sock puppets.
