    Are you seriously banging on the President for taking a vacation?

    He has the absolute toughest job in the world and you are going to bang on him for this?

    You're reaching, bro.

    I'd be curious to see how many vacations George W. Bush took at this point in his presidency compared to Obama....not that it matters to me (I think the POTUS deserves as many vacations as he can get)....but maybe it will make your hard-on for the President subside.

    side note: I would love to go kick it for a weekend with Dubya in Crawford. We'd hunt, drink beer, watch football, shoot the sh*t and just marinate on the ranch. It would be awesome.

    Well, what are they? I disagreed with him focusing so much on health care and not more on the economy, but what policy decisions has he made, that have gone into effect, that are comparable?

    The entire country would be better off if he took a permanent vacation.

    None. That's the problem. Speeches are not the answer.

    What has he done that has made anything better? The only thing that I can tell that he did follow through on is well, Tirk's avatar tells you all you need to know about that one.

    Lets see, he had the beer summit, that was really important.

    He is never late with his NCAA bracket that always tanks after the 2nd round.

    He promised hope and change, we see how that is working out.

    He said "ok" when intel said we can kill bin laden, that was a tough one, not sure where he found the courage.

    I like it better when this clown is on vacation, means he isn't in DC although he is pretty much on vacation there as well.

    TARP- Which is now bringing in billions in renvenue as loans are paid back.

    Credit Card Reform- adding restrictions on interest rate increases and fees and restricting the marketing of credit cards to college students.

    Proposed a balanced plan of 3 to 1 cuts to tax increases during debt debates

    Stimulus- Yup, I know you cons hate it, but several non partisan analysis (including the CBO) say that without it, unemployment would be at 10.8%

    Toughest? He has a job, there are so many in the US that are out of jobs. The toughest job, the people without jobs. The single Moms with two kids working two jobs. The guy that has to shutdown his business after over 30 years. The guy having to take any job just to make ends meet. These people won't have a vacation this year.

    The guy took office saying he has a plan, he had no plan. He spends more time doing BS (Final 4 pickings).

    This was passed under bush.

    He helped people who are too stupid to help themselves at the expense of those who handle their financial matters in the appropriate way. So yes, I guess this the poster child for perfect liberal policies

    He was between a rock in a hard place on the debt debate. However, he never came forward with a specific plan. That was my problem with his handling of it.

    He spent trillions of dollars to knock unemployment down by 1%. Very impressive!
