I don't wanna rain on your parade, but this is the 6th thread made by you with Obama in the title on the front page of Politics alone. Obssession much?

Also you should have a look at this:

During 2 terms as President, Bush spent all or of part of 487 days at Camp David, on retreats and made 77 trips to his Crawford Ranch, in Texas, where he spent all or part of 490 days, on his Ranch.
The total number of days of vacation or retreat President Bush took, while in office over a period of 8 years was 977 days, or 32% of his total time in office, was spent on vacations or retreats.

Basically he spent roughly 1000 days, or close to 3 years (out of 8 in office) on retreats. President Zero who?

Where are you getting those figures from? Fox News?

Come on man, you're starting to sound desperate and ridiculous.

And I say that with all due respect.

flintypoo he isnt really trolling.  he asked you to name the source about obamas trips when you mentioned obama was on many of them

plus, obama needs to go on many trips to keep his tan so people believe he's black

Yeah, people dead, you should respect  it. Not try to use it to dump on Obama campain like all those other threads.
.
What do you want from him? Go to war on this? Not like you guys have the cash or the national support for it.

Primo Bush had the origional 9-11 but Clinton had dropped several balls to get us there. Including destruction of some intelligence gathered and by placing sharp lines on intelligence sharing between agencies.

The first 9-11 caught us off guard.

Obama is supposed to be aware that on 9-11 anniversaries we are deeply at risk of new attacks.

He dropped the ball.

Bush took away our civil liberties. He also needs to stand trial in Europe for his war crimes.

"I don't wanna rain on your parade, but this is the 6th thread made by you with Obama in the title on the front page of Politics alone. Obssession much?"

I tried 4 years ago to have ONE US elections thread and got voted down.

"During 2 terms as President, Bush spent all or of part of 487 days at Camp David, on retreats and made 77 trips to his Crawford Ranch, in Texas, where he spent all or part of 490 days, on his Ranch."

And did business.  Both Camp David and "the Western White House" were set up to function as nerve centers.  Camp David ALWAYS has been a working retreat.

And Obama isn't working while on the campaign trail? Didn't Bush campaign for reelection too?

His arguments aren't serious Yell

I think I can see your point.

Yay overgeneralizations!

No, the principle is that a President is responsible for preventing activities which could be prevented during their time in office.  If a terrorist attack occurred 2 days after Obama came to office, it wouldn't be on him to have prevented the attack simply because he was sitting in the comfy chair.  The actual 9/11 attack occurred a year and a half into Bush's presidency, but the underlying planning phases were occurring years beforehand.  A number of underlying policies which could have undermined the attack (namely CIA counterterrorism policies) were removed under

The attacks on the embassies, in contrast, were very spontaneous.  The planning, intelligence gathering, preparation and execution phases almost undoubtedly occurred entirely under Obama.  That's the fundamental difference.

Ok let's kill Hillary then (this is a cruel joke to make him see the value of an Ambassador)

"he actual 9/11 attack occurred a year and a half into Bush's presidency, but the underlying planning phases were occurring years beforehand."

actually, 9 months.

I swear I'm gonna go to the library and try to find that cartoon book wtih the 1979 cartoon of the US embassy getting stormed, and the USSR embassy next door is spotless, and Uncle Sam is looking over the fence at a KGB guy in an overcoat, and the KGB guy says "Why not us? Ah, comrade, is because we do not tolerate such things."

you're gonna find out

muhahaha

Like I said, 2 dozen guys in armored humvees waiting to converge on the shooters and shoot the crap out of them once they start shooting.  and some spotters with walkee talkees.  and a kiowa scout copter with a 20mm cannon in the air watching from 4km away.  wtf why not some B-1s overhead too.  and K-135s to refuel them.  And an airborne brigade fueled and loaded on the tarmac in Italy.

we paid for all that crap already
