    You posted a spelling mistake from 'bugalugs', not me.

    Plus, he only made the mistake once.

    You made it twice. Yours was not a spelling mistake: it was a display of ignorance.

    LOL

    LOL

    I can't believe you're actually looking through all of my posts in an effort to find a spelling mistake. LOL

    You sad little person.

    No as I said it was a grammatical mistake. Are you having trouble reading again?

    This however is a spelling mistake made by you.

    As I said, we all make spelling and grammatical errors from time to time.

    Only children point out something in others they do themselves when they don't have the courage to address the argument being made.

    Now, once again why are you attacking people for deflection when you did the same in your post?

    I understand. You were fearful I would find one. And I did. Next time attack the argument and you won't have to be embarrassed again for your childish display of hypocrisy.

    Nope: you're the one having trouble reading.

    Here's your post:

    See. You fail again.

    You want to keep going with this? I've got all night.

    I love seeing you make a fool of yourself.

    LOL

    More revisionist history. Mind you, I'm no fan of Bush or Obama, but there are several key differences. Most of Bush's "off-time" was in Crawford, so the cost to taxpayers was a lot less, and Bush had an office in Crawford where he could hold "The Western White House" meaning that he was still working even though he was considered on vacation. The problem is Obama takes lavish vacations at great expense to the taxpayers during tough economic times, and of course no work is actually done (which is probably better for the country). And Bush played 24 rounds of golf in 8 years. Obama surpasses that every year.

    Bottom line: Obama's vacations are expensive, very expensive. He needs to show a little restraint during these tough times.

    As I pointed out which you ran away from as usual you too make spelling errors.

    I fully and freely admit I do because I'm here to debate not win a spelling contest.

    And I believe you have all night. Its rare to see someone burning up with this much hate on a board.


    Now, I ask you again why do you attack someone for deflection when you did the exact same thing at the beginning of this thread?

    I haven't attacked anyone for deflection. Really not sure what you're talking about.

    However, if you can provide links proving otherwise ...

    Never twice in the same post. Never.

    Good: you've got no chance against me.

    Not hate: I just don't understand why you are attacking me. I think you've mistaken me for someone else. I love everyone.

    Nope: that's not me. You're mistaking me for someone else.

    Rubbish.

    The chart accurately reflects the fact that Bush took far more vacation time than Obama has at the same point in their respective presidencies.

    You can spin this fact to your hearts content, but there's nothing 'revisionist' about facts.

    They either are, or they aren't.

    LOL I'm sure you have but I'm not going to waste my time looking for it when I already proved you too make spelling errors. :)

    Yes wear that cape and tights proudly little buddy. The best speller is oh so valued in a debate forum :D

    LOL Spending 2 pages attacking my spelling? If that's love you've got a long way to go.

    As I said, we all make spelling mistakes. You are no different. The difference between us is I can admit it freely. You on the other hand will not but of course that's expected.

    Now next time stick to the debate at hand and leave the cape and tights at home.

    Oh and Boat People is 2 words not one :)

    Not picking on you, but the whole "blame it on Bush" crowd. It is so old. No matter what is the topic, there always posts upon posts of either "it's Bush's fault" or "Bush was just as bad."

    The first is just wrong and the second is idiocy. How does Bush being whatever anyone is saying about him make Owebama any better? Does any of that change the fact Owebama has failed in virtually every category?

    Is there so little of substance the left can point to to counter the arguments that all that remains are these two lame, trite, and erroneous comments?

    One has to assume since that seems to be the steady diet.


    attack away lefties......let's see if there is one thing you can point to that shows Owebama has the country as his top priority.

    I'm betting we get name calling, vitriol and, good God, spell checking.


    Sigh

    Bush took a 27 day Christmas vacation in 2001. He took a 25 day Christmas vacation for Christmas in 2002.

    I'm going to ignore the whole "Bush worked on vacation while Obama just plays" as the pure insipid partisan rubbish that it is.

    The Repubs better not go on vacation until they pass that middle class tax cut or they'll be hell to pay.

    That's not my quote.

    Notice the quotation mark in front of Boatpeople not illegal?

    That means it was written by someone else, not me.

    Moreover, the link I provided shows exactly where the quote came from: it was a newspaper headline.

    We are all arogant and lazy.

    he is righteous and all knowing.

    I love it how people tell others to do one thing, and then dol the opposite.

    What happened to us all suffering?

    As I have always said, socialism isn't for the socialist, its for the people.

    He tells us not to goto vegas, to save our money, not to take trips, to turn down the heat temp in our homes, than he does the opposite.

    He says how great public schools are, takes away the DC voucher program, than sends his kids to private school.

    Why do you think that is?

    The right-wing would be the ones owing an answer to that question. Their stupid laissez-faire notions have never NOT led to a trainwreck, and yet they still push this garbage. Get out of the freaking way and let people who know what they are doing guide us down the track.

    By "office" in Crawford, you mean the millions of dollars worth of security and communications equipment that was installed at the Bush's political prop of a ranch at taxpayer expense. By working, you mean meeting from time to time with visitors and being briefed at least daily by staff.

    Whether in Martha's Vineyard or Hawaii, Obama is working in exactly the same sense that Bush ever was. He meets with visitors and is briefed at least daily by staff. And just as the Bushes did, President and Mrs Obama pay out of pocket for their vacations. The places they stay, the food they eat, the clothes they wear, the travel that gets them there. All of this is paid for just as you or I would pay for it. Taxpayers pay for the security and communications capabilities for the Obamas to the same degree and on exactly the same basis as they did for the Bushes. This is prescribed under law. Neither the Obamas nor the Bushes had the option of turning it down, though each might have wanted to from time to time.

    Those are the acts of the matter. Your attempt at recreating the fable of The Ant and the Grasshopper is a miserable failure.

    Start by understanding the basics. Bush will ALWAYS be responsible for the things he did and didn't do and for the multiple calamities that followed upon too nearly all of his disastrous decision-making. He does not escape blame for all this merely through the passage of time. He will be just as much a miserable failure of a President in 2050 as he is today, and also in 2100. If you are tired of hearing Bush blamed for things already, you have a very great deal yet to put up with.

    Bush went to his home state of Texas...

    Obama goes to his home state of Hawaii......


    Yes, Hawaii is nicer than Texas. But other than that, what's the difference?
