So apparently family time after 3 pm doesn't count (repukes tracking POTUS vaca time)

Because he spent the days with his friends and afternoon/evenings with his family, they are saying he spent most of his time golfing.

And notice the f'd up comment about a "brief 2 hour" bike outing with his wife and kids....so how many hours on the bikes would be acceptable to repukes? 6? 8? Let's put their asses on a bike (with their little kids on bikes) and see if 2 hours is still "brief" to them.


Hell, my oldest daughter came home to visit me and her sister for 5 days (had not see her in over 6 months) and she split her time between us and going off with her friends...so I guess in the eyes of the repukes I am an awful parent for not making her stay with us 24/7!
And (gasp) the beach time with the family was NEAR a golf course..

On December 26, Obama left his vacation at 9:27 to spend about 6 hours on the links, with buddies Bobby Titcomb, Mike Ramos, and Greg Orme. After he met up with his family on beach, which was located on the Marine Corps Base Hawaii, near the Klipper Golf Course, where Obama played his three rounds.

(snip)

In addition to his brief time at the beach, outings with his family included a brief two-hour hike with Michelle Obama and their daughters.

They should be in DC trying to work out a deal. There is no incentive for them to work out a deal when 90% or more of them are back in their district. If they were in DC the incentive would be to wrap it up so they could get back home and spend time with their family.

I thought Kristol was a bit more mature than to waste ink on something like that. Someone should wipe that silly, perpetual grin off his face.

Distract, divert, divide. The GOP are masters at this stuff.

He spent 42% of his presidency on vacation, at his Waco ranch, at Camp David, and Kennebunkport.

Such a blatant 'Potempkin Village' lie.

He did an awful lot of golfing, too. Even breaking his pledge to not golf as long as our troops were in combat.

I still remember his call on all nations to do everything they could to fight terror, followed by 'now watch this drive'.

Repugs: lying hypocrites who are wrong about everything.

not much and he hardly ever saw his grandchildren. The Obama's are great parents and from what I've observed have brought up two terrific kids.
