...**should** have been when he voted "present" as a senator, which was apparently just after his stint as a community disorganizer.

Okay, I finally bit---figured it was another - smear job--and it is

Don't know about the rest of you, but when I see something this silly, I just click dislike and move on. Finally, it has reared its ugly head enough times, I put it in a search, weeded through the obviously right wingers and came up with a mainstream explanation. Probably not good enough for the RW group, but there it is, in case you needed it.

I used to wonder if they'd ever get tired of cleaning up after him, but then realized the answer to that is a resounding no. It's that old brainwashing thingy they've got going on. It has really become quite laughable and entertaining though.

if right wing extremists will ever tire of jumping up in the morning and checking their right wing blogs to get the talking points of the day to post on the political board of MT Stars. Apparently without checking to see if it's current information or from years ago, let alone doing a little research on the subject du jour. I find it neither laughable nor entertaining.
Then don't read it. - EZPZ

Can't hold a candle to Reagan. He was a 99% - no show

[ In Reply To ..]

Like President Obama, he preferred reading the memos in private rather than having them read to him in a meeting.  Unlike Obama, he only rarely showed up with any questions.  


Reagan did enjoy his leisure activities.  He went horseback riding at Camp David instead of attending Anwar Sadat's funeral, who had just been assassinated.  Stayed at a vacation at his ranch instead of rushing back to DC in 1983 when 2 marines were killed and 14 wounded in Beirut.  He stayed put at the ranch 2 days later when the soviets shot down Korean Airlines flight 007.  In October 1983 he skipped out on the administration when they began planning the invasion of Grenada and opted to go golfing at a resort in Georgia, though he did receive a briefing in his pajamas.  He was still on that same vacation when the Marines barracks in Beirut were bombed, killing 241.

He rode horses at Camp David again on the day of the MacDonald's mass shooting that killed 21 and wounded 19.  He was back in the saddle again a mere 2 days after when 4 americans were killed in a terrorist attack at the Athens airport.  That adorable photo taken of the First Couple on horseback with Nancy holding up the "Just Say No" sign was taken on the same day Pan Am flight 73 was highjacked killing 22, including 2 Americans, and injuring 150.  


Anyone detect a pattern?

RELEASE OBAMA'S BENGHAZI INTELLIGENCE BRIEFINGSMay 05, 2014
President Obama claims he was only repeating what the intelligence community told him when his administration asserted that the attack in Benghazi began with a spontaneous protest inspired by an Internet video. If that’s the case, there is a simple way to prove it: Give the new congressional select committee investigating Benghazi his daily intelligence briefings that show exactly what he was told. There is precedent for doing so. In 2004, at the request of the 9/11 Commission, President Ge ...

"High-profile Republican politicians and their media surrogates are accusing President Obama and other top White House staff of "lying" to the public about last month's deadly assault on America's diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya. This accusation not only misses the mark but also demonstrates how profoundly the accusers misunderstand how intelligence works. In fact, the White House's evolving timeline for what happened in Benghazi is proof of precisely the opposi ...
