The story is that when Eisenhower found out that he couldn't govern by just giving orders, he spent the rest of his term in office playing golf.

Perhaps in another 4 years the Far Right Wing-Nuts will be complaining that President Obama has played over 200 rounds of golf since he first became President in 2009!

Even on golf, they blame President Bush.

Why is it any different than the Far Right Wing-Nuts blaming Clinton for all of the mistakes made by GW between 2001-2009?

It seems to me that turnabout is fair play!

I don't remember that. Do you have any sources? I'm not a fan of President Bush by any stretch, but I don't recall much blaming of Clinton.

There was some blame in response to the accusation that Bush could have prevented 9-11, but it came after the accusation to point out that Clinton could have pursued bin Laden earlier. But that's about it. They certainly didn't blame Clinton every time something came up. No one blames like this President. It's ridiculous.

Odumbo pulled out FDR's play book wherein FDR royally smeared Hoover. Problem with Odumbo's ploy is that there is now 24/7 news and he, much to his dismay, could not completely control the message. Odumbo -- being and remaining totally ignorant of the American free enterprise system -- also didn't realize how bad the economic situation really was. That is why his solution to America's economic problems was nothing more than the ephemeral: "Hope and Change". Hence, Odumbo's biggest problem is he has been too stupid to realize that this is not the 1930s and FDR's playbook didn't solve problems then (other than besmirching Hoover historically) and it is not solving problems today.

How quickly the mindless and uncaring seem to forget! Have you been living under a friggin' rock? Where in the hell have you been? On ASPD, LL had a recurring set of 1296 (give or take a few) different Bush Apologist excuses that all took place during the Clinton years. These excuses were recycled regularly (or should I say ad nauseam) in the political forums of ASPD.

It was almost comical. I could predict which blame Clinton excuse he was going to give, prior to him making his posts!

As for no one blames like this President. Need I remind you that the economic and foreign policy situation was such in January 2009 that if any President ever deserved blaming when he left office, it was George W. Bush. What a disaster his administration turned out to be!

As a side note, Obama has also attended 162, defined, fund raisers which is more than the last two eight year presidents combined. Bush and Clinton did less than 150 fund raisers COMBINED in eight years. Between golf and fund raisers (and the occassional (nice spelling) day trip) when does he have time to do his job?

How is it that your student victims don't lynch you for lying to them non-stop?

More lies and bad spelling from Barleybrains!

It ain't a fucking record when you haven't played a tenth as many times as two other presidents! In addition, your partisan ass chose to simply leave out all those time-wasting trips Bush made to Crawford cut brush or to kill a protected bird he thought was a dove.

Hell, Ann Richards could use a pistol or a shotgun better than Bush.

By the way, Barleybrains, Eisenhower was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.

You miss the point. We WANT this President playing golf. We WANT him playing basketball. We WANT him doing fundraisers. We WANT him to go on vacation. We WANT him out of the Oval Office as much as possible! In fact, if he promised to never set foot in the Oval Office again, I would seriously consider voting for him.

Little Stevie · 06-18-2012, 09:44 PM

Quit defecating on threads, COF! You know Barleybrains meant it as a a "record" even though he was wrong and he meant it as a dig about Obama. Do you have any idea how many posts you make that are symptomatic of full-blown dementia?

You're the fucking moron who wanted sources yet you say nothing of the four I provided along with the additional fact that Eisenhower was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
