We should start keeping track of how many times he leaves the White House, whether it be for townhall meetings, family getaways, or overseas jaunts, etc.

"But the debate is now coming to an end. ... It is time for Congress to act, and I hope they act in a bipartisan fashion."

What debate has been allowed? F*** YOU, Hussein!

I think you're supposed to capitalize the 'R.'

He’s new on the job and doesn’t get there ‘til after 9?!?

How many days in the real world would that last - 2?
I guess unless you’re at a bailout bank - then come in whenever you want...

Laziness comes naturally for osamo. He must think he is in a part-time (J-O-B) as the prez. When the pressure gets too much osma will have a big meltdown.

I'd love to have a job where I can get a 4-day-weekend, 3-1/2 weeks into working at it.

Unless someone started around Thanksgiving or Christmas, I don't think that I've even heard of it. And, as a manager, if someone came to me with a request like that, I'd say (barring extenuating circumstance) that was the definition of chutzpah. Might even tell them not to bother coming back from the vacation.

Being POTUS is about never being alone.

Do you not remember how BJC used to try to slip away unnoticed from the WH for trysts?

Not very successful.

Back to Chi-town for weekend getaway with the kids. At $7,000/hour for using Air Force One. What dupes they were, those idiots that voted for him.

It’s become apparent - to me - that we have the biggest chickensh#t bastard to ever infest the whitehouse. He can’t take the heat. Someone needs to grab him by the ears - ala LBJ and the beagle - and take a picture.

I seriously do not expect Zero to complete even one term in WH — not sure why I think that but it’s becoming more and more clear.

He has never had a real job, was a lecturer, NOT a professor, “community organizer” means part time rabble rouser/troublemaker and the guy has NO executive skills.

Since when is Valentine’s Day a “holiday” needing a getaway, especially re the POTUS who has been in office less than one month! Huh? He and wifey were tired of being in WH after two weeks so had to go read to kids somewhere. Now there are all these dog and pony shows with set-up sob story welfare recipients in “bad” areas of sinking towns.

The whole presidency with Zero is a sham, but then we knew that going in. People are SO stupid — and the “voters” who put this phony over the top are the dumbest of all — dumb but hopeful that their messiah would take care of them. He won’t — but he and his cronies are trying to see to it that “we” the responsible people in the country will pay for the lazy and downtrodden.

No more — this is war — this is the biggest disgrace I’ve witnessed in my 60 years on earth. Everyone who has voted for this fiasco should be ashamed and the rest of us should really “shrug” a la Atlas. I am doing my part!

He probably had a totally different idea of what the job was going to be. He probably thought he would really be in charge and have the power, rather than be told what to do by the people who are pulling his strings. He also thought he’d have more control over the media but the honeymoon there is starting to unravel.

>Do yall think my boss would mind if I took a 4 day weekend in a couple of weeks?

No not at all! Just make sure you don’t do it every few weeks. [/sarc] [/cynic]
