Actually, it's been established that Obama regularly spends 5 hours on the golf course every time he plays.

The "2 hours" you are referring to are how many hours Obama has spent on the GULF COAST, not the GOLF COURSE.

As far as Bush goes, you and I both know that the President of the United States is NEVER "not at work"... Bush or Obama were/are "at work" 24/7...

Get to the rest later.. Lot to do, not much time to do it in.

Michale....

Two hours away from the office to play golf pales in comparison to the many days Bush was just not at work. If you call going to the Gulf Coast working. When Exon had it's problem we clean it up. No one said that was a Katrina. I find it despicable to compare oil to the amount of lives lost because Texas, Mississippi, and Alabama refused to take people. I find unforgivable that the President seat ideally by as women and children were raped, men were murdered, and lawlessness was seen on international TV. I find it damn right dishonorable that Republican demand drilling, that these state use it as part of the life blood and economy, and then are displease when something goes wrong. No one has stopped working on the problem. Wait you mean it is ok to descend the national guard to save the lost barrels of oil but where were they would the roads flooding and thousands of American where trapped drowning in there homes. I could go on.

When has it ever been ok to be charged twice for something. But the banks have done this for years. Obama stopped that. Doctors take oaths to help people; to care for the sick. Insurance company place bets on when people might die. WWJD. Oh yeah he went around healing people for free. So Obama changed this. I guess a police officer could choose who he protects and serves too.

I came offering a great idea. A way to bring jobs back. A way to help build are economy. MOUNT AMERICA but instead of trying to build on this idea you try to sell me some BS on who is helping the American people.

And Watergate was just about some nosey people. :D

It's not the crime, it's the cover-up..

I think Obama works harder than any other president I have seen in my life time.

You are correct. I should specify...

"When has anyone actually WORKED for the American People in the WHite House??"

That was Bush for 8 years. You know the man who went on vacation more than he was even at the White House.

As opposed to Obama who has played more golf in 1.5 years than Clinton and BOTH Bushes played in their entire terms, COMBINED... :D

How many times did Bush go to the Gulf Coast as opposed to Obama???

I could go on and on... And usually do! :D

Michale.....

I do agree about Iran that why we really need to get or house in order. Impeaching Obama is out of the question especially if all you got is offering a man a job. How petty can they get.

When has anyone actually WORKED in the WHite House??
I think Obama works harder than any other president I have seen in my life time. The real problem is the senate. There should be term limits.

Ask not what your country can do for you, ask how badly you can frak over your country before you lose an election

MISSION TO MARS

:D

If you think America has 2 more years to waste until Obama is out of office Michale you have to be kidding me.

Oh, I agree.. It's going to be hell..

But what choice is there??

Well, I suppose we could always impeach...

or the nuclear fallout from a war with Israel.(because they are bombing Iran to Kingdom come the first second they get).

If Iran doesn't bomb them back to the Stone Age first...

Quite frankly a person can't hold office and work in the White House at the same time.

When has anyone actually WORKED in the WHite House??

Moreover, when have we ever had a White House that worked???

Ask not what your country could do for you, ask what you can do for your country.

Ask not what your country can do for you, ask how badly you can frak over your country before you lose an election..

Michale.....

Let's imagine we had the money. Maybe we get it from the environmental catastrophe cause by BP oil, maybe we get it from investors seeing how they come monopolize for decades to come on interest, maybe it's from preexisting government funds for example where to put those spent nuclear rods, maybe it from tax exemption we give to farm-owner each year, just maybe colleges and universities would give as chance for education to its students but whatever we do we could get the money.

So what type of project, you say. One that could help slow global warming, put fish back in the ocean and trees in the Earth. A man made structure so big that it could be seen from space and require tens of thousands of workers onsite and many other in their perspective factories and offices.

1. Build a number of lake beds, cistern, caves, caverns and rivers
2. Fill them with the saltiest ocean water(everyone knows salt cause ice to melt quicker)
3. Build these bodies of water in a mountain made of sand, clay, agricultural waste, concrete, tar, garbage, etc (we could even buy some products from poorer countries that could then use this money to become a more developed nation whilst creating new markets)
4. Populate this area with animals farmed for this sole purpose
5. Make it innovative and interactive using the most modern technology

Mount America would be the greatest project America embarks on. It would rally people from all walks. Republicans would have to shut up and stop all this obstructionism.

Seriously now is not the time. If you think America has 2 more years to waste until Obama is out of office Michale you have to be kidding me. (2 years actually equals 6 before we could even see any change) You really think we could survive an attack on America proper or the nuclear fallout from a war with Israel.(because they are bombing Iran to Kingdom come the first second they get). We don't need any scandals over offering a person a job. Quite frankly a person can't hold office and work in the White House at the same time. I can't believe some people are ready to have revolutions (Tea Party) because a Black man got elected.

No, I say get off your couch. It is not the time to be glued to your TV. I say no to your popcorn. It time we set aside our differences and get behind a man because he is what we got. America is not weaker because of him but if anything America is weaker because we have not got behind him.

Ask not what your country could do for you, ask what you can do for your country. -- JFK

In my listing of upcoming gloom and doom for the DP, I forgot to mention the upcoming Blagovitch trial..

Democrats are quaking in their booties. The trial will expose the worst of the rawest and blatant machinations of Illinois politics.

Somebody rustle up some popcorn.. It's gonna be some good theater...

Michale.....

A jobs picture that will continue to be more and more gloomy.

A larger and larger Jobs-For-Quitting scandal.

A likely conflagration in the Middle East instigated by the enemies of Israel, who see Obama's waning support for Israel as an opportunity to settle some old scores.

A sure-to-be trouncing of Democrats in the upcoming Mid-Term elections.

An all but inevitable successful terrorist attack on US proper.

No, the future is not to bright for Obama and the Democrats.

It's all but guaranteed that Obama is going to be a 1-termer..

And what is so sad is that there was so much promise.

But the old maxim rears it's head again.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Obama and the Democrats had as close to absolute power as a political party can get.

And look how they squandered it. Look at the mess they made.

Tis sad, tis true. Tis true, tis sad.

Michale.....

Oh wait, that's not right... They passed CrapCare...

Michale....

By "actual unemployment" rate, do you mean the statistic that actually goes by the name of "unemployment", or do you mean some broader measure of how many people aren't working who want to work? I think that as long as there are more jobs being gained than lost, every increase in unemployment is good news for the president and for congressional Democrats. It means that people think there are jobs to be had. That belief drives the reality just as much as vice versa.

"Wall Street reform is wending its way through Congress, and we may actually get a final bill approved before Fourth of July."

I sure hope you only mean a bill that gets signed into law, not a bill that's the last word on the subject. This one leaves a lot undone, in any of its versions. I haven't heard any suggestion that the basic problem of regulator shopping will be addressed, nor will too-big-to-fail financial firms be split up into pieces small enough that any particular one can be allowed to fail.
