[QUOTE]NEW YORK — [b]Concerning the fun parts of his job, Barack Obama resembles the Energizer Bunny. If there are crowds to wow, entertainers to schmooze or donors to pitch, Obama is Johnny on the spot.
Too bad Obama's sparks stop flying when it comes time for the serious, heavy lifting of the presidency.[/b]
According to the institute's data culled from the official White House calendar and Politico.com's news coverage of that schedule, Obama chose to skip his daily briefings and, instead, simply read his briefing book.
Obama skipped his briefings between last Sept. 4 and 11, the entire week before the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, suffered an Islamic terror attack that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, technical officer Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods.
[b]Even worse, as Thiessen reports, Obama postponed and eventually skipped his briefing on the day after these planned and deliberate assassinations. This liberated Obama for a truly indispensable responsibility that day. As American embassies burned brightly throughout the Islamic world, Obama jetted off on Air Force One for a campaign fundraiser in America's least solemn city — Las Vegas.[/b][/QUOTE]
I fucking despise biased reporting. It really gets under my skin. Political views should not interfere with the telling of news. All I needed to know from this article was that Obama skipped some briefings, not that you view him as a bad president.
and yet they say nothing about bush's post 9/11 vacations.

This website is actually hilariously entertaining.
Only because I'm reading it as satire.

i think thats the point
or I hope
Man, if you were a president and you took a nap, only to wake up that the entire country is in ruins then you have to say that the rest of the people were fucking idiots for letting this happen.
lazy

Right-wing ideologies rely on populism and "mass thought" and rule of the crowd as primary forms of spread.
Any radical side of political though will do this; but the far-center right and any further right will usually use populism more so than far-center left.
[QUOTE=gudman;37871115]Hey guys, I'm suddenly grew interested in political situation in US of A, can somone tell me how in the actual heck Obama is a communist and why so many people believe he is? What did he do to be considered as such?[/QUOTE]
He had the nerve to be a democrat and president at the same time.

Only in American politics is the Center considered far away.
Obama does something
Obviously a bad president.
Obama breathes
When will he stop stealing America's air?
It's funny how often Republicans are willing to throw Obama under the bus for taking a week break every once in a while but completely ignore the fact that an entire 1/3 of Bush's term was spent on vacation (nearly 500 days at his ranch in Texas alone. Another 487 spent elsewhere.)
And what about Congress? Exactly how many days of recess has the 112th Congress taken?
Perhaps he reads his briefings because, unlike Bush, he can actually read and doesn't need underlings to read things to him.
