Nailed it, Lisa!

The Republican noise machine and forum trolls keep harping on Obama’s vacations. If any of them cared in the slightest of the facts, they’d know that Obama has taken less vacation time than other Presidents, including G W Bush.

Lisa, you give Mr. Obama too much credit. He doesn’t care about jobs, energy, etc. that much.

this is real easy … google “george w bush vacation days vs Obama” and look at any page that comes up. here’s one http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/08/17/eveningnews/main20093801.shtml

Why compare with Bush? Bush was horrible. We didn’t want a “Slightly better than Bush.” We wanted a JFK or a Ike. Or even a Reagan..

This guy was supposed to know how to fix everything. Where are the results? All hot air..

Perfect description of the average Politician.Where’s the joke?

I find it interesting that everything, for twelve years, was George Bush’s fault. Now that we have Obama, everything is the fault of the House of Representatives. Just a thought.

Genius analysis, Lisa!5 years of Evidence certainly points to the narcissistic thinking by Obama, and the number of vacations proves it, along with the elite lifestyle in the White House and the eternal campaigning instead of the expected duty of the hard work in actual governing and enforcing congress’ laws.-His idea to spend federal money we do not have, to “study the human brain” is IMO alarming….along with the feds studying how animals think….isn’t that an indication of “scientists” doing tortures to the subjects “studied”?-Also IMO from the Prez on down, officials newly elected should be required to undergo lie detector tests, on file in the FOI department! With regular update tests!

I’m sure the Obamas will miss those great vacations. Not only do they get to go to great spots like Rio de Janeiro, Hawaii and the Rockys, they get to kick everyone out and have they tourist spots for themselves for security reasons. All at taxpayers expense. No wonder vacation is such a big part of the thoughts of Obama.

The other version would show more compassion for others and logic. O knows nothing about those qualities.

While her artwork is excellent, her hate is too much for me. I’ve removed her from my list.

Lisa, you are sooooooo full of baloney !

Objection! Toon assumes cranial organ not in evidence!

wmconnelly…. surely you know even if you are on the background search list, and denied, there’s less than a 1% chance of any consequences… although filling out the 4473 and failing, is a felony in itself…

And, that evil GWB going on vacation all the time…. to that luxurious resort he loved so much (and was so costly to the govt.)…………..in Crawford, TX.

“Liberals are counting days that Bush worked from home as vacation days, and counting time Obama spent on the golf course as working days.”I see. The numbers don’t agree with you, so Liberals obviously must have juggled them around. Do you have anything to back up your claim, or are you just going by what you’re told to believe by the noise machine?

I’ll file your comment way right next to the BS assertion that his trip to India cost $200 million per day.

Factoid: it costs $180,000 per hour to fly on Air Force One.Obama is definitely a FREQUENT FLIER.Count the trips.Obama goes where he pleases, as often as he pleases.He bills the DNC for “political” and the Taxpayers for anything remotely “government”…..it would be interesting to see an unedited summary of his personal flights “remuneration” to the treasury for the use of AF1. Or even a summary counting the AF1 trips since Jan.20th, 2009.

I wonder what Lisa’s brain looks like.

Gov’t school graduates are not the only ones who can’t find Wash. DC on a map, Ansonia. Home schools seem to turn out the most intelligent test takers, but often – not always, but often – at the cost of reduced social skills.^Every person who has ever run for office made the exact same promises. I suppose because he planned to use ideas initially put out by Republicans, like Romney Care, and Rubio’s Dream Act, the Republicans would like him more. Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Reid and other more nuanced/arguable causation reinforced Republicans to not work with him.The evidence of the tribalism both parties have practiced (the reason Geo.Washington told us to avoid parties) is thick and fetid. Education, civility, and compromise is how gov’ts best serve their people. Our legislature is self serving, and our President does not have the necessary skill sets to inspire people to work together. When the people don’t want to work together, it’s just that much harder.Respectfully,C.

She didn’t intend it, but she just described John Boehner and his gang of dolts.

To date George the lesser spent more time on vacation than any other president in the history of this country and look at all the damage he managed to do.

Great job, Lisa, I like it! Accurate. Obama CNN-News-Zombies denying the current state-of-affairs facts by listening to Robin Meade for their news who distracts with puppies and kitties for real “news” won’t like the Truth though.

In my first comment under this toon, I said Obama had given his conservative critics cause to appreciate Ms. Benson’s statement.I have also frequently taken him to task for, frankly, not being more energetic in building consensus WHILE expressing my own disappointment for his willingness to put aside some of the issues for which I vote him – the parts of my “9 Issues” that he had said he’d address in 2008."That said, I blame the D & R legislature MUCH more than him.Respectfully,C.

Quote: “official White House statement on Margaret Thatcher’s death:

“Here in America, many of us will never forget her standing shoulder to shoulder with President Reagan, reminding the world that we are not simply carried along by the currents of history—we can shape them with moral conviction, unyielding courage and iron will.

Michelle and I send our thoughts to the Thatcher family and all the British people as we carry on the work to which she dedicated her life—free peoples standing together, determined to write our own destiny."(from http://pjmedia.com) by Stephen Green who wrote:’“Because returning Churchill’s bust and giving the Queen an IPod of Teh Won’s speeches is exactly like Thatcher & Reagan.”(NOT) LOL

I’m sure it doesn’t matter to you because liberals never worry about the cost of anything when someone else is paying the bill. He said, "read between the lines’. Your statement is pathetic. The “He did it too” response is juvenile.

That is probably about the size of the humor & wit module in Ms Benson’s brain. She is quite consistent with not very funny ham handed ad hominem attacks pandering to Republican sensibilities.
