Ted Rall for January 09, 2010

He’s got to put in a lot of effort to catch up to the champion brush clearer!

Government priority, make sure every citizen in America has a home, and are well fed.(Not with junk either)

Yeah, US presidents need their beauty sleep.

DANM YOU BUSH ITS ALL UR FAULT

LOL

Have you noticed, Obama’s playing MORE glof now than he did before being elected President?

The guy INSIStED he was thw only one for this job-right here right now. Right after George Bush destroyed everything, Obama just needed to be President Sorry dude, vacations just arent in the cards for you. There is a lot fo work to do. And a year after you have been in office, there is still all that same work to do.

Play it Nero!

I bet that Obama doesn’t spend the majority of his presidency on vacation like Bush, while that evil gnome Cheney actually ran the country.

“Bush stopped playing golf becuase he felt he could no longer enjoy it while our boys in green where in danger. ”

Again, he’s gotta start clearing some brush to catch up to all of the time Bush was on Vacation during his presidency. Bush holds the record, if I’m not mistaken. It’s a well-known fact that people do need to take breaks [including champion brush clearers], by the way. Not excessive breaks, but if you don’t, especially in a decision-making position, you are bound to make worse decisions than you might normally make. It is why the majority of us don’t work 7 days a week 365 days a year.

Obama is just the latest strawman from the totalitarian one-party system that is called the Demopublicans. Or Republicrats. Whoever you vote for, there’s always going to be a Democrat/Republican president.

Always has been, always will.

Amen.

NO - NO - Say it ain’t so. I’m pretty sure Bush was on Vacation more than any President before in the history of the U.S. I think Obama should get one or two.

As Dylan said, “Even the President of the United States sometimes must have to stand naked.” He (or she) also needs to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, and have an occasional vacation to avoid burnout. He isn’t hiding in an undisclosed location. The phone still rings and he answers it.

Don’t ever see a tabulation of how much time Ike spent on the links, or at Camp David, but it was a ton. Actually, a lot of folks do their best thinking while “relaxing”, even “W” claimed such.

Now as far as the unemployed and homeless- how about, as suggested, all stockholders limit CEOs to the salary (including cash bonuses unearned if the company doesn’t profit) of the President- $400,000 per annum (raised when “W” took over from $200,000 per annum). If ALL “senior” executive salaries were lowered to this amount think how many lower-ranked jobs could have been saved, and in turn, ala Henry Ford’s theory, how many more employees could afford the products they produce.

There is nothing “socialist” about this concept- it just goes along with corporate need to lower those high “union salaries”.

You mean, he answers it, unlike the croney that was still on his ski vacation, eh, sirron? Obama is merely a Bush of a different color, and yeah, the now unemployed, college educated majority voted him in, like Ted said in his Fear Decade column, not because we liked his ideas, he didn’t have any, but because he’s calm, and I would add: passionless. So much so, that another interloper walked into the White House, again, so how is he supposed to protect the country when his own House is infiltrated, and, moreover, his appointees, those designated to carry out security measures, can’t even do their own job, as Napolitano and Panetta dropped the ball (Remember the good ol’ days when Clinton and Panetta allowed those picked up at Kartun to Yemen for “interrogation”? Clinton got around the sticky constitutional issues of human rights, he was good at that). Speaking as military, the intelligence is good, it’s just hard to implement it when so many of those designatees that should have their ears to the ground have their lips so .firmly planted to their Chief’s ass. It’s difficult when the upper echelon chain of command drops the ball, as they so often do. And as far as Copenhagen, we had a chance to lead, but I fear It’s true, though, that we’ve lost out to China, since we are their primary colony. According to The United States Energy Information Administration (EIA), China produces 70 percent of its energy and almost 80 percent of its electricity with coal, and it also projects that China will continue to produce at least 75 percent of its electricity with coal through 2030, producing 63 percent of the world’s carbon emission’s over the next two and a half decades. China, of which we are their colony, and indebted too, I repeat, is requesting 1 percent of the U.S. and E.U.’s Gross Demand Product to efforts to reduce carbon emissions in developing nations such as aforesaid China, India, and Brazil. It will cost us a projected $140 billion annual contribution, which if we do so, it will be economic suicide, all in the name of making the playing field more fair, until China reaches its industrial apex and only then will it be prepared to offer only decreases in “future” carbon emissions.

W DIDNT STOP PLAYING GOLF. HE JUST SAID HE DID. JUST ANOTHER OF HIS MANY MANY MANY MANY LIES

Interesting how the homeless shelter has a huge flat screen tv.

«Government priority, make sure every citizen in America has a home, and are well fed.(Not with junk either)» ComYics, I don’t if you meant that seriously or ironically, but if the former, then I agree with you 100 %. That’s the «general Welfare» which should be «promote[d]» and for which it is worth «provid[ing]» a «common defence»….

Very prescient.

Come November of this year, this will prove to be painfully true.

So, ahab, why would you favor healthcare from either party, when, since, 1989, the financial, insurance, and real estate sectors have given over 2.3 billion to candidates? The Democrats, most notably, are in Wall Street’s back pocket, thanks to the likes of Mark Patterson, former lobbyist with Goldman-Sachs, now Geither’s Chief of Staff, the same one that opposed the earlier Frank-Obama legislation to curb executive compensation, bonuses.

bleeep you, Obama, for observing Christmas with your family during a security crisis!!!!

Seriously. President Obama responded to this AVERTED crisis more swiftly and aptly than Bush did to 9/11.
