President Obama has already hit the links as much as President Bush did in over two years

[HAL 9000 96]

Ha ha ha ha Bill has suckered all of you. You see, its impossible that Obama has been playing ANY golf for the sole reason that he's a Socialist. And its a well known fact that Socialists don't play the sport of the Bourgeoisie.

is he beating bush's score?

Is your inference here that Obama cares less about the welfare of the troops than any previous president? Presumably you guys say this because of some 'feeling' that this is so or do you have some evidence that you would like to present?

It's the "feeling". I don't remember a lot of outrage from the right over Bush clearing brush in Texas and shattering the Presidential vacation record previously held by the Gipper while our troops were under fire in Iraq and Afghanistan. I also don't recall a lot of outraqe from the right when Bush snubbed at the commander in Afghanistan requesting 30,000 more troops just last year. Let's hear it for selective outrage.

"There was a saying when I got there: If you're in Iraq and you need something, you ask for it," McKiernan said in his first interview since being fired. "If you're in Afghanistan and you need it, you figure out how to do without it."

By late last summer, he decided to tell George W. Bush's White House what he knew it did not want to hear: He needed 30,000 more troops. He wanted to send some to the country's east to bolster other U.S. forces, and some to the south to assist overwhelmed British and Canadian units in Helmand and Kandahar provinces.

The Bush administration opted not to act on McKiernan's request...

... In February, with a new administration in power, Obama ordered 21,000 additional troops to Afghanistan, giving McKiernan much -- but not all -- of what he wanted.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Evidence:

The troop request was made in August by his own handpicked general about a forum that Barry himself said during the campaign was essential to win. Now, he waffles, the request languishes while he plays golf, parties at the Wednesday WH concerts w/celebrity admirers, he's vacationed twice, he's gone to Copenhagen to front for his wealthy friends in a failed attempt to get the Olympics for Chicago, he has time for Leno, and to attend many DNC fundraisers. This is only a partial list.

But, hey, he's only been prez a few months.

See my post above. Bush's hand picked general requested 30,000 troops for Afghanistan in the summer of 2008 and that request was never fulfilled. Where was your outrage? It was Obama who actually fulfilled most of that request in February granting 21,000 of the 30,000 additional troops.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Oh, those crickets again. Good to know that it was okay for Bush and Cheney to be dithering on Afghanistan.

What's the phrase they like to use every time they pull a Rassmussen poll out?

'The silence is deafening'

LOL

But Obama is still behind on wars started.

-2 vs -20. I'll take -2.

Well, that's not evidence, that's your interpretation of some scant facts. Can you do better or have you shot your bolt VW?

Why ask for evidence if you wouldn't know it if it slapped you in the face?

In other words, that's it?  You believe evidence is synonymous with opinion?  Oh dear...

Clearly, you can't tell opinion from fact. Pity

I'm taking a page from your book.

You reminded me this week that you think you know what's best for me, how I should think, who I should listen to, and be "in bed" with because they would better appreciate my heritage. As such, there is nothing I can say that you don't already know to be counter to what you think I should say. Since you live to lecture me about how I'm not being a good brown person, what motivates me to repeat what we always do? I'm bored with that.

Facts are only useful to libs when they fit their M.O.

So, you don't intend to shower me with links to Rush Limbaugh portraying Muslims in a positive light?  His shows that illustrate his respect for Palestinians and their struggle with national survival?  I'm disappointed, that really would have been interesting.
