Hey Leon, sorry about those folks.

I’m sure Pres. Bush appreciated the Post’s concern when Cindy Sheehan and the smelly peace freaks were stalking him at his ranch in Crawford.
They are a bunch of lying hypocrites.

The lefties started this. Interesting though that they suddenly have no problem with the President taking vacations during crises these days.

Spinning and puttering.
Obama has managed to play golf and do other vacation-related activities in Hawaii, but aides also have stressed his involvement in conference calls with advisers and officials, and in decision making.

obamination is responsible for those deaths. Muzzie pigs know that this president doesn’t give a damn how many lives they take as long as we give them their “rights”. His weakness breeds contempt from them.

Harry Truman had The Buck Stops Here for a motto. The lizard king has the motto, The Buck Stops Here Only if it Helps My Polling Numbers or Promotes the Socialistic Agenda. If it doesnt the Buck Passes onto the Republicans and stops with them.

It comes with the job. If he can’t handle it, he shouldn’t have applied.

Where’s Cindy “the bitch in the ditch” Sheehan when we need her. She could’ve been Barry’s “snake in the sandtrap”. Perhaps she was afraid caddy Pelosi would beat her with a club. /sarcasm

You’ve completely missed the point.
Some of us have been waiting for him to throw a traditonal Hawaiian Luau.
Why? The raosting of a pig.
Why is that important?
To see if he dined on pork.
