- kaosethema, on 05/31/2009, -23/+366goodbye republicans. great job on destroying Abraham Lincoln's party.
- inactive, on 05/31/2009, -10/+329Yeah because the RNC was SO critical of Bush's 800 days of vacation
- novenator, on 05/31/2009, -21/+312Desperate attacks are desperate
- Renian, on 05/31/2009, -10/+235Wait. They just bashed Obama for having family values?
- inactive, on 05/31/2009, -14/+232Because it's such a long way from D.C. to New York. You might as well go to the French Riviera.
I heard that when he was in New York, he asked for a bottle of Kraft Food's Grey Poupon, ordered an orange juice, and drank a bottle of domestic wine instead of Pabst Blue Ribbon. - EnviroChem, on 05/31/2009, -8/+210It is important to note that the Obama's DID NOT fly to NY in the standard 747 Air Force One. Instead they opted for a twelve passenger Air Force Gulfstream V (C-37A). It is important to remember this when countering claims that Republican's will inevitably make that he took Air Force One and claim it was the 747. Remember any fixed wing aircraft the President flies in gets the designation Air Force One.
- THETEH, on 05/31/2009, -7/+152Well you gotta admit, going on a romantic dinner with your wife is serious business. You know who else went on romantic dinner dates? STALIN. And he was a COMMUNIST. It's a conspiracy, I tell you!
- Breyker4711, on 05/31/2009, -10/+149My god the bastard, can you believe he took his wife out to dinner. How dare he set aside time for any member of his family.
Seriously that is basically the argument, since we all know only elitists are interested in spending time with the ole ball and chain. - JoeMondo, on 05/31/2009, -12/+133I don't know what this cost, but I know it is beneath consideration next to the cost of Bush's vanity war.
- Maddoktor2, on 05/31/2009, -19/+127This is quite possibly a new low, but what can you expect from a party that actively promotes and defends a war crime like torture and the criminals responsible for it?
This is what always happens when you think the GOP can't sink any lower and might have finally hit bottom. It starts digging with renewed vigor. - CosmicSurfer, on 05/31/2009, -13/+106Newt is jealous and the rest wouldn't know romance if it hit them in the teeth....
One has to have a heart for that trick - the RNC lost theirs along with their moral compass decades ago... - texnite, on 05/31/2009, -13/+106Jeez, these guys will look for anything to slam him. The RNC fails at their criticism. Get over it, the man is just a good husband.
- SifuMoKung, on 05/31/2009, -8/+100The GOP understands well that politicians should live in a loveless show marriage while one secretly ***** men in bathrooms. So it is written, so it shall be done.
- SQLserver, on 05/31/2009, -10/+99Why do we even pay attention to these nuts anymore?
- Elranzer, on 05/31/2009, -6/+90Obama does X
Republicans complain about X
News at 11 - booksnmore4you, on 05/31/2009, -6/+88And to think how they would have stereotyped them if they had eaten BBQ....
- inactive, on 05/31/2009, -9/+87I'm gonna miss the Republicans a lot. They're always good for a few laughs.
- Vaiper, on 05/31/2009, -5/+80Didn't Bush have over 600 vacation days in his 8 years in office? I don't know...just saying. I think sometimes people need to ***** look in the mirror.
- publiclurker, on 05/31/2009, -9/+77So you are saying he should have single-handedly fixed all of the problems caused by years of managerial incompetence in a single night? I had no idea that one man was so powerful.
- JoeMondo, on 05/31/2009, -13/+80How much do you think George Bush's vanity war cost us?
- JoeMondo, on 05/31/2009, -4/+70Hey, Newt has a heart.
He dumped his first wife while she was in the hospital for cancer treatment, he was so in love with wife #2.
(Until he dumped her too.) - sarahlee, on 05/31/2009, -8/+72Less than Bush flying back to Texas all the time as well.
- rabidjester, on 05/31/2009, -6/+70Even worse, he read the order off of a teleprompter!
- cmost, on 05/31/2009, -5/+67Funny how the RNC never uttered a word during President Bush's copious vacations to Crawford, Texas. He spent so much time there, in fact, I thought they were going to make Crawford the new Capital! The RNC needs to pick its battles and STFU!
- mgraham80, on 05/31/2009, -5/+66Man, the pres is JUST about to set off on a week of travel to the Mid-East. Can't you cut the guy a break for wanting to spend some quality time with his wife before saying goodbye?
But I guess, as a Democrat, I should thank the RNC for reminding me why, though I'm pretty conservative by nature, I could never, ever be a Republican.
Petty, nasty, and mean, they be. - eir574, on 05/31/2009, -6/+65Are you suggesting that he should never be allowed to leave the White House on personal business?
- tidu, on 05/31/2009, -3/+62No, they bashed him for spending money in NY to stimulate the economy.
- Gloogle, on 05/31/2009, -4/+63did you know that Lincoln's party stood for something else during that time?
- inactive, on 05/31/2009, -4/+62He stopped for a hamburger again the other day....the elitist bastard!
- Elranzer, on 05/31/2009, -6/+62Republican "family values" tend to mean you you're a man married to a woman of the same race, with two kids, and you're off cheating on her with a man in private while complaining about gay marraige in public.
- eir574, on 05/31/2009, -6/+61"How dare he set aside time for any member of his family."
There were also plenty of republicans who were upset when Obama skipped the gridiron dinner to spend time with his children, who were on a break from school at the time. The bastard! He has family values! - UMustBeNewHere, on 05/31/2009, -7/+62@mm911 (and anybody else that has a problem with personal lives of our presidents)
Don't be an idiot. It's not a big deal that he took his wife on a date. Using your logic, his timing for date night could be attacked *any* night for the next 4 or 8 years. boohoo the president took his wife on a date while North Korea is successfully testing nuclear missiles. oh noze the president went and saw a broadway show while people are blowing themselves up in the name of some invisible douchebag that doesn't even exist. oh crap the president used air force one to take his wife on a date to ensure the presidential nookie while horribly mismanaged companies run themselves into the ground regardless of all the help provided them by the taxpayer.
Honestly ***** all of you people who are so morally perfect that you would never ever take a moment for yourselves while some global crisis is occurring. - srs2000, on 05/31/2009, -6/+59Bush spent 2.66 YEARS on vacation.
1/3rd of his entire term as puppet in chief...
9/11.. Iraq.. Afghanistan.. Katrina.. etc etc etc... He goes on vacation.
Where were these idiots complaining about all the flights to Texas? The cost of securing the entire ranch? - r0g3r, on 05/31/2009, -5/+56As I recall, Bush was on vacation as a certain natural disaster (the worst in our country's history) struck my city.
- Vaiper, on 05/31/2009, -4/+54Modern day republicans are so far off from where they started it's not even funny.
Well...perhaps a little funny. - rabidjester, on 05/31/2009, -2/+51Now watch this deflection
- snafflepaffle, on 05/31/2009, -6/+54Anyone notice how few wingnuts show up for these 'The GOP says something stupid again' threads? Almost like they're embarrassed by their party (as they should be.)
- JoeMondo, on 05/31/2009, -4/+50Wow... digged down for telling nothing but the truth about Newt's marriages.
(You have to know you're on the wrong side of things when you digg down the unbiased truth.) - AgeofMastery, on 05/31/2009, -7/+50I took my kids to Red Robin for lunch yesterday. I guess I gave the finger to America as well.

In essence that's exactly what you're saying. He's the president! Of course he's going to travel with a security entourage. There's no choice in the matter.
I'm not fan of former president G.W. Bush but I never questioned the fact that he had to have security with him on every one of the hundreds of trips he took to his ranch in Texas. - Anomaly100, on 05/31/2009, -6/+49That son of a bitch! First, he tries to dig us out of this financial collapse from the previous administrations disastrous mistakes. Now, that bastard is taking his wife to dinner! That does it!!
If it would have been Bush, he'd have taken two vacations already. - inactive, on 05/31/2009, -6/+48The lulz.
- JoeMondo, on 05/31/2009, -3/+45Don't digg me down - just tell us how much you think Bush's vanity war cost us.
Is that a hard question? - DownIsTheNewUp, on 05/31/2009, -5/+47The RNC is just mad because his romantic date wasn't with a pubescent boy or a stranger in a public restroom.
- barc0001, on 05/31/2009, -6/+45The WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE date? Are you sure about that? That seems like a pretty high bar to overcome. I wasn't aware flying to NY from DC in a 12 seater and taking in a show was the most expensive thing one could do for a date.
"It's a big ***** deal. History books do not look kindly on this sort of behavior."
If by behavior, you mean the behavior that led to the collapse of these industries you are correct. A guy going out with his wife, not so much.
You want to get upset about something that shows terrible optics and timing? "Now watch this drive" - gangsterunicorn, on 05/31/2009, -3/+41yes, republicans in 1860 wanted bigger government, and "liberalism" back then was actually the economic practice of conservatives today.
It just proves that as society ages, it heads in a more liberal direction.
George Bush would have railed on as progressive leftist were he the monarch of spain in the 16th century - tidu, on 05/31/2009, -2/+40But... this... isn't sucking.
- LeroyJenkems, on 05/31/2009, -2/+39Also how much his repeated vacations cost us.
- inactive, on 05/31/2009, -0/+36But he was clearing brush!
- mrfunktastic, on 05/31/2009, -3/+38Personally, I like having a happy, loving couple in the White House. Speaks volumes as to their state of internal well-being. As opposed to sex-starved guys just tryin' to get a blowjob, or guys who use war as their vicarious penis.
