Who do you support for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania in 2010?

Getting a mob of your followers all juiced up about robbing their neighbors of their hard earned money is campaigning...it's certainly isn't Governing??????? Is that the Bully Pulpit? Maybe in Cuba or Venezuela.

That WOULD be terrible!

If that's what he was doing.

But it's not.

You really need to calm down a little and at least TRY to be rational about the President. He's a pragmatic moderate who is governing from a center left position. Advocating for increased revenue and stimulus spending during an economic downturn is a proven and solidly mainstream proposal.

Hell, ALL his policy proposals are solidly mainstream and have the public's support. He's just doing what we elected him to do.

Your hysterical over-reaction to normal Presidential tasks is so far over-the-top as to be completely detached from reality. Seriously - try to get a grip.

Obama has taken less vacation than his predecessor during and after 9/11 and the war on terror. Why didn't your shriek then?

The Election proved that America has gone Left and must decrease our expectations accordingly. I voted for Obama the first time and wish he would have earned my trust and respect. Very sad. Only Comrade Pelosi knows what the future holds now. We are all at her mercy.

LOL! I get what you're doing now - it's parody!

But you over-did it this time, friend. It's just too stupid to be believable. I really should have seen it with that previous post, but, you know, Poe's Law.

Once again for those with low IQs - every President takes vacations, some even when America is under attack and when major America cities are being destroyed by hurricanes and flooding, but hypocritical wingnut jackasses didn't have anything to say about that, did they?

I wonder why. LOL!

When Bush went on "vacation" to his Texas ranch, aka the Western White House, he was still governing there. He met with numerous heads of state in Crawford as well as held press conferences.

Where's Obama's Western White house? It's certainly not his Chicago home!

But he has played more rounds of golf!

Western White House
President George W. Bush gives remarks on Hurricane Katrina and the Iraqi constitution from his Crawford, Texas ranch on Sunday August 28, 2005. The logo in the background was created by the Bush Administration in August 2001, and it was displayed at press briefings during Bush's stays at his ranch in Crawford. The sign reads:
THE WESTERN WHITE HOUSE
CRAWFORD, TEXAS

The Western White House is a term applied to additional residences of the President of the United States. It was used for the Crawford, Texas ranch of George W. Bush, known as Prairie Chapel Ranch, and the term has also been used by other chief executives for their homes, including Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard M. Nixon and Ronald Reagan.

George W. Bush
Texas
President George W. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Bush ranch in Crawford, Texas. The house was designed by professor David Heymann.

The most recent official Western White House was Prairie Chapel Ranch, the Crawford, Texas, home of George W. Bush. The Bush administration created a logo for the Western White House in August 2001. A sign with the logo had been hung in the press briefing area in Crawford at the start of each of Bush's August vacations; the blue oval sign bore the Seal of the President of the United States and read, "The Western White House / Crawford, Texas".[12][13] The daily press operations in Crawford were set up in the gymnasium of Crawford Middle School, several miles from the Bush ranch in unincorporated McLennan County near Coryell. The iconic ramshackle barn seen behind correspondents as they did their live reports is actually the school's maintenance shed, and had no connection to the Western White House.

Barack Obama
Illinois

Speculation that the Obama home in the Kenwood neighborhood in Chicago would be used as the Western White House during Barack Obama's presidency [1] proved false,[citation needed] when on August 23, 2009, he arrived in Martha's Vineyard to spend the week near Chapaquiddick.
Hawaii

Additional speculation that Plantation Estate in the Kailua neighborhood of Honolulu, Hawaii will become the Western White House has emerged as President Obama vacationed there as President-Elect in 2008 and as President in December 2009, 2010, and 2011.

Obama IS the vacationer in chief.

Moderates don't promote class, racial, and gender warfare.

When is he actually going to start working? He's STILL campaigning...even releasing a "video" about the fiscal cliff. A real president wouldn't be doing this.

Ummm, he IS working. That's what that is.

The President has made an opening proposal in the negotiations and he is now rallying the people to pressure Congress to engage in the debate. All the GOP is doing is mocking the President's proposal and not offering one of their own.

One of the powers of the President is the bully pulpit - rallying the nation to engage in the issues of the day. Since the President doesn't have a negotiating partner, he's asking the voters to pressure their representatives to do their jobs.

Labeling this kind of work - the kind of work ALL Presidents have done - as "campaigning" makes you look pretty uninformed and juvenile. Do you honestly think he's still running for office? Do you think he doesn't' know he won? LOL!

Or you are actually ignorant of the history on this issue.

Either way, that's a pretty pathetic post. LOL!

Obama and the Progressive Fringe Won.

Democrats, Republicans, and Independents LOST. The biggest Losers are our children who will miss out on a chance at their American Dream.

LOL! That's weak.

If you actually believe ANY President isn't working 365 days of the year then you're hopelessly naive.

Bush spent 1/3 of his entire Presidency on vacation - almost 3 years of it, and more than any other President in history. Sure he did official work while on vacation - just like Obama does and just like every other President has.

LOL! Good try, but still a little over the top. You're going to have to dial it back a little if you want anyone to believe you're an actual wingnut.

What, no response to president's on vacation? Why is that? Oh, it's because I proved you wrong?

Yes, he is still in campaign mode. He's never gotten out of because that's the only thing he knows how to do.

What he needs to do, is to compromise. There's been nothing on the table regarding entitlement reform. He should be pressuring Reid to offer up something.

On that same line of thought, don't you think it's about time he pressure's Reid to pass a budget? They have yet to pass one for this president.
