normiss 801 #252 November 16, 2012 I'd be curious what the hell is so pressing in Myanmar that he left the country in the middle of the CIA director fiasco, the Benghazi hearings, AND the fiscal cliff. Way to lead the team there buddy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ianmdrennan 2 #254 November 16, 2012 You're pretty butt hurt about this golfing thing, eh? My math is atrocious so if it's incorrect please bear with my ineptitude in that arena: 52 weeks in a year, 2 days in a weekend over 4 years. 52*2*4 = 416 days of "weekend time" Total Golf games played: 104 (according to the article). 25% of his 'weekend time' spent playing golf over 2 years. Not bad actually. I'd argue that while I work well over 50 hr weeks most of the year, I still work less than the President (who's always on call). I spend a lot more than 25% of my weekend time skydiving. IanPerformance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gravitymaster 0 #256 November 16, 2012 I'm pretty upset that he has only attended approx 38% of his daily briefings. Of course I understand to the liberal mind, that's OK. Just as adultry is OK for a President but not OK for the head of the CIA or Generals. This demonstrates how sorry and pathetic the Democrats have sunk.

Just as adultry is OK for a President but not OK for the head of the CIA or Generals. This demonstrates how sorry and pathetic the Democrats have sunk. In the very article you linked it's stated that reading the briefings (which he does) is as effective as attending the meeting. I don't pretend to understand the reason he misses them though. Quote Of course I understand to the liberal mind, that's OK. Just as adultry is OK for a President but not OK for the head of the CIA or Generals. This demonstrates how sorry and pathetic the Democrats have sunk. Desperate attempt there. Here's the thing, and I've said this before: The Republican party has a golden opportunity (again, as they did in this election) to focus on the real issues and win over the moderate voters (and yes, I'm one of them). I'm really happy to see people like Jindal (sp?) and Maria (cant remember her last name) from the R party distancing themselves from the nonsense the party is focusing on, and the denial of reality, as to why the GOP lost an election that no one should opposing the incumbent have been able to lose. However, mouthpieces like Ron and yourself (and many others) don't do the party any favors. Especially when it's party officials spouting the drivel like the above (among many many other ridiculous statements). All it does is drive moderates away. As long as that happens, the GOP can't win. It needs moderates/independents and it needs minorities. Until it's members, and leadership, can get over the sort of drivel posted above, I just don't see how they can attract us as voters.

Now own 2 houses, my family doesn't want for anything (thankfully), have nice toys, etc. Nice -- good for you! Landscaping is the work I grew up with. My father (an immigrant like you) has been running a landscaping business for years, and he still runs it (he refuses to retire). Landscaping is some damn hard work, and I was doing it during summers from before I was a teen, into my college years before taking up office work after college. I hated it then, but it taught me to work hard -- it makes office work seem like a walk in the park. I thank my father for that now.
