Another example of saying two different things about one thing:
Radical Statist and racist Clintonista Paul Begala, primary propagandist for the Democrat Party, defending all the vacations and golf outings of our lazy incompetent president, said Bush took a lot of vacations, but he didn't critize him for doing so.
Now: "I thought it was silly when people attacked Bush for going on vacation, so I'll be consistent and say it's silly when people attack President Obama for going on vacation."
Then: "It's no surprise if you've been losing sleep over what's been going on in the White House. The Better Sleep Council wanted to find out which candidate would make people lose more sleep over the next four years.
"Their ingenious poll of registered voters shows that President Bush has a 42-40 percent edge as the one who would lead you to have more sleepless nights. Well, the good news for President Bush is they did choose him, as well, as Commander in Sleep. Forty-four percent say he seems the more well rested candidate of the two.
Probably because he spends so much time on vacation, Gary? I don't know." [October 11, 2004]
About the golf outings. Bush during his presidency played 24 rounds of golf. He quit playing in October 2003, saying it was out of respect for families of servicemen killed in Iraq. His vacations by the way, were more often than not working vacations spent at his ranch. He usually had his staff with him, and fulfilled all his presidential duties there, same as if he were at the White House. His ranch is a genuine working ranch, where they do real honest to God ranch work. He went there to do ranching stuff, with the fully functioning western White House there.
So far, in less than two years, the Bamster has played 41 rounds of golf, nearly all of them the full 18 holes. That's more than 200 hours of golf. That's about twenty five eight-hour work days. That's five work weeks. He's been golfing ten times since the disaster in the golf. He's taken long weekends vacationing in Asheville, North Carolina and Chicago, Illinois. This weekend he's going to a little resort town in Mount Desert Island, Maine. A lot of citizens that had been saving up to vacation there have been bumped from their rooms, and the quiet restful town will be an unrestful mess.
Nero set Rome on fire and blamed the Christians. Looks like Obama has set America on fire and blames Conservatives and the Republican Party. There were of course, no fiddles for Nero to play while Rome burned, so perhaps we can change the phrase to 'Obama played golf while America burned'.
