Cue up the right wing complaining about Obama playing golf on our dime. 3.....2.......1. Blast off.

Everyone deserves some privacy; from the president right down to you and I.

Waaaaa!!! The President got to play golf with Tiger Woods and we didn't get to take pictures.

Waaaaa!!!! You promised us we would be able to see what the President was doing!!!

Waaaaa!!!

The president playing with the world’s most famous golfer -- involved in a 2009 sex scandal -- immediately became a national news story, as opposed to the commander in chief simply having some down-time with friends.

==============

Is this to imply that it wouldn't have become a national news story if Tiger was not involved in a 2009 sex scandal and he was simply the world's most famous golfer? What does the "involved in a 2009 sex scandal" have to do with anything?

Unnecessary comments like that are exactly why your junky arses were left in the dark.

It's President's Day and the president can golf with or without the media present.

President Obama gets media attention every single day of his life now. He is entitled to some private relaxing time.

Particularly on President's Day.

Ed Henry doesn't have to follow the President in Florida.

He can sit in his stuffy Faux sNewzzzzz cubicle in Manhattan and make up some BS like they always do.

The poor media is like a bunch of spoiled brats. The media "I've pupped my pants and the President didn't change me". When the media gets caught with their pants down they have to use a snarky remark like " involved in a 2009 sex scandal". If the media would quit jumping on every Fox outrage the media might not be the laughing stock of the rest of the world.

Dear D.C. Press Corps,

GET OVER IT. I almost thought this was a headline from The Onion.

By the way, where were you in the run up to the Iraq War in 2003? Reporting on golf?

How about you DO YOUR JOB like the rest of us, quit parroting talking points, quit reporting that both sides do it and both sides are to blame, and let the man enjoy his one day off!

Matt

I see Wilson Arden is in his 55461st reincarnation. I thought Tom Hanks lost Wilson at sea.

Cue up the right wing complaining about Obama playing golf on our dime. 3.....2.......1. Blast off.

Oh so true Johntho. Joe and Sick are right on cue!!!

Meanwhile, the real journalists get awards.

I saw this over @ The Obama Diary:

David Corn/Mother Jones wins prestigious George Polk Award for political reporting ($50K FL fundraiser revealing 47% remark)

Speaking of David Corn and the media, tonight @ 9:00 on MSNBC be sure and watch Hubris, which chronicles the lies and deceptions leading up to the Iraq War, hosted and narrated by Rachel Maddow.

So you feel the need to make this point while maintaining an avatar with President Obama cropped to look like Adolf Hitler? Nice.

If you look real close, he has 666 on his forehead too!

My avatar has nothing to do with his race... it has everything to do with his evil.

;-)

===========

One might consider the fact that you put any effort into trying to draw a distinction between the two sad in and of itself. If you want to peddle that the actions of Adolf Hitler had nothing to do with race, you go right ahead and peddle that.

You wanting to see Feisty's 'clown nose' would seem problematic with that rather large oak tree you have in your eye.

Pigotry ... just taking my puppy Jack out for a cyber-walk ... he likes to pee on certain posts.

Good morning, blackcatwhitecat who writes:

Pigotry ... just taking my puppy Jack out for a cyber-walk ... he likes to pee on certain posts.

ok. Why not, there is no much fun out here in the Wild Wild West (WWW), or its modern version the worldwide web (WWW).

Have fun, but keep the leash on, otherwise it can run like WilsonArden in his 55461 mutations.

.

Let's give our blessings to the President...wishing him the best in the second term, in his battle with Tea Party morons out in the wild wild west. He will be guaranteed victory, I am sure.

I think an avatar showing the previous president as Hitler would be far more appropriate and accurate.

Afterall, Prescott Bush did business with him and GWB was the true evil America now loathes.

Sorry folks, have a good day.

Bless their little hearts. The Press core couldn't get near the President and Tiger Woods "PRIVATE" Golf game today. How unfair, how selfish of them, we (the Press Core) have every right to invade the privacy of the President or anyone else we feel like. Who do they think they are not letting us in on their game so we could snap pictures and ask questions and completely destroy their round of golf. How arrogant of them. Give me a break. These "creatures" called newsman are no better than the Potsoraze (sp) who drive all celebrities crazy. Good for our President, the Newsmen be damned.

Good gawd--the petty nitpicking and whining never stops. The media does not have a right to cover every single thing President Obama does. It's about the right to privacy when privacy is sought by President Obama and any other president. I really do not care whether he played a round of golf with Tiger Woods or Arnold Palmer or ???. It is irrelevant, unimportant, and silly plus celebrity golfers have as much right to privacy as does our President.

Allen Omaha, great point; that little dig is irrelevant to the story.

Obama's rating well over 50% George W. about 14% and Hitler, near 0. Yeah, compared to a human sick, how do you feel about the human race?

The president has a right to some privacy.

The President takes a couple of days off and the MSM goes apocalyptic...

Meanwhile on the other side of the street;

90 days into the new year and Congress has worked 15 days as of 2/15/2013, not to mention they are off again this week...

And we don't hear a peep!

SickOfTheBickering

There you go again taking everything so literally. Evil is evil my friend. Between the two of us, only you made the connection between Hitler and race.

Dumb comment of the month. It is impossible to not make the connection.

If the President was playing golf with Happy Gilmore, now THAT would be a story!

Salud

White House Press Corps Association president Ed Henry.....I can say a broad cross section of our members from print, radio, online and TV have today expressed extreme frustration

You folks have your head buried so deep, you don't even know what you're talking about. This was a unified complaint, not a Fox News complaint, not that it should matter.

SickOfTheBickering

Oh Allen,

There you go again taking everything so literally. Evil is evil my friend. Between the two of us, only you made the connection between Hitler and race. I merely saw him as an evil beast harming his fellow man. (BTW... he murdered lots of peoples... not just Jews!)

Also, if I were to modify my avatar so that Obama looked white... wouldn't you take offense to that? I would.

Finally, what are you talking about regarding the clown nose? Do you mean to tell me that is a racist thing? I thought it was just a 'cute' clown nose and I like when she posts it ;-)

(you see racism in EVERYTHING don't you Allen? Sad. Just sad. But, I suppose, typical for a liberal.)

===================

Um, you put (now show me the clown nose, fisty!) in your original post and you're bemoaning her use of race in her original post, so in context, I'm not exactly certain where 'I think her previously posted clown nose is cute and cuddly' is to be extracted from all of that.

Yes, I did...and there were beliefs behind the evil that this man perpetuated. Beliefs that his race was superior than that of others. Not only that his was superior, but that all others needed extermination. For you to claim that any US President, let alone this President has intentions, let alone actions consistent with Adolf Hitler is, to use Feisty's original term, repulsive at best.

No, I see racism where it exist and your twist your finger through your long, curly hair, valley girl voice, I would be offended if he was portrayed as white line, isn't serving it's purpose as covering your use of racism as you complain about others.

What does this tirade have to do with the White House not telling the press pool that Woods was playing golf with the President?

And sicko, my point exactly is you are in a small but unintelligent minority. People actually voted your definition of Americanism down last Nov. Don't get it? It isn't about the "Free Stuff" its about here in America we take care of our own. Now answer this, as an outsider how do you feel about the human race?

The president has a right to some privacy.

Actually Lisa, I would disagree with that. No matter who the President is.

Other than closed Personal time with his family, it's not private.

How many times do we hear that a President is capable of multi-tasking? Are we to believe that the affairs of State have stopped because a President is golfing?

Trappings of the Job and all.

It's amusing, Sick of the Bickering's name implies he's tired of the political fighting here and elsewhere, then he purposely uses an offensive avatar--by the way, it would be equally offensive if Reagan, Bush, Bush, McCain or Romney were depicted as Hitler--to antagonize and stir the bickering, and then proceeds to his daily name-calling of a particular liberal poster who he cannot resist stalking. Personally, I think the first letters of his screen name are what he intended as his real one but he knew that would mean he'd be banned again so Sick-O was the best he could do.

BTW, Sick, your avatar says a great deal about you.

There is a very simple but important principle we will continue to fight for today and in the days ahead: transparency.

There's been no transparency from this administration for over four years now, and the press hasn't complained a bit (and in fact have been complicit in it). Now, all of a sudden, they are upset about it?! On the important issues (Benghazi, etc) they could care less about transparency, but when it's something as big as playing golf with Tiger.... NOW they get upset?! Please... Give us all a break.

Actually Lisa, I would disagree with that. No matter who the President is.

WCA wants to know not only when the President does a #2, he wants to know the quality of the stool. They are the data points that fill those corporate spreadsheets and powerpoint presentations he so studiously maintains.

90 days into the new year and Congress has worked 15 days as of 2/15/2013, not to mention they are off again this week...

Ain't it the truth!

The double/triple hypocritical standard used against President Obama is really tiresome!...Secret golf game with Tiger....Oh Boy!....

No standard was used for Dubya......We The People knew nothing, were told nothing but lies......but that was A-OK.....where was the almighty inquisitive 'right to know' press then?

and then proceeds to his daily name-calling of a particular liberal poster who he cannot resist

I see both of my little ankle humpers are out and about today... lol

Although, one of them is still icing his ass from spanking he took Friday night!

As for the SOB, he has been on my ignore list for over a year. I refuse to waste precious time reading someone whose sole objective is to "bicker" while claiming the contrary.

Already plenty of hypocrites lurking around here without having to feed this troll!

Speaking of David Corn and the media, tonight @ 9:00 on MSNBC be sure and watch Hubris, which chronicles the lies and deceptions leading up to the Iraq War, hosted and narrated by Rachel Maddow.

I hope it includes an interview with Colin Powell relating why he believed the intelligence. I hope it includes interviews with the 29 Democratic Senators (a majority of the caucus) as to why they voted Yea, including most of the current Senate leadership (Reid and Schummer...Durbin voted Nay). I hope they interviewed SoS John Kerry and retiring SoS Hillary Clinton on why they voted Yea. I hope they interviewed prospective SoD Hagel on his Yes vote.

But somehow I doubt it....might ruin their narrative.

#1.41 is just a dumb comment. Every president, including President Obama, has a right to "private" time and private interactions with friends and others outside the purview of the press's cameras.....and it isn't limited to family. It's NO ONES business. The press, all of the press, needs to take a deep breath and stop whining because they were not included--too bad, so sad.

A lefty and a righty secretly playing golf in Florida. Something's afoot. Likely working on a plan to divide up Georgia. Maybe confine the goobers to the north to concentration camps and work the corn crackers to the south like borrowed mules. The economy's looking better. Wall Street will be delighted.

Does anyone really care where he is and what he is doing? Play golf, make a speech, create a photo op, all does the same thing,,,, nothing.

SickOfTheBickering funny avatar indeed since Hitler and his followers believed he had god on his side as well......LOL....the Shrub/Hitler would be a more fitting avatar for you......I'm no Libby as you call them but I do call a spade a spade when I see one.....j/s....have a good day now sick:)

How about some transparency from the Media?

Alan, NJ

Speaking of David Corn and the media, tonight @ 9:00 on MSNBC be sure and watch Hubris, which chronicles the lies and deceptions leading up to the Iraq War, hosted and narrated by Rachel Maddow.

I hope it includes an interview with Colin Powell

yea since Powell already admitted he was lied to and made to look like a fool by the Shrub....LOL!!!

@Lisa.... yeah, I agree that the president need private time... Just look at what Clinton did with Monica...

yea since Powell already admitted he was lied to and made to look like a fool by the Shrub....LOL!!!

Yep, he really backtracked on this one. BTW, why is this a LOL comment?

But, Powell said, "the intelligence system did not work well."

"There were some people in the intelligence community who knew at the time that some of those sources were not good, and shouldn't be relied upon, and they didn't speak up," Powell said.

"That devastated me," he said.

Powell in the TV interview also disputed the Bush administration's linking of Saddam's regime with terrorists.

He said he had never seen a connection between Baghdad and the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington in 2001. "I can't think otherwise, because I'd never seen evidence to suggest there was one," he said.

Still, Powell said that while he has always been a "reluctant warrior" he supported Bush on going to war the month after his U.N. speech. "When the president decided that it was not tolerable for this regime to remain in violation of all those U.N. resolutions I am right there with him with the use of force," Powell said.

Feisty, yep, amazing how when called out, they disappear. I answered one on FT Friday and it shuffled off to Buffalo.

Tiger Woods is the one who asked that the press be held back. There's no way he wanted his picture taken with that other guy.

WCA, I don't recall anyone pulling your string...

Perhaps the President was getting a private lesson from Woods, and he wanted to keep it private.

I find it funny how anyone can call Obama evil when he is trying to stop the evil started by the past administration. I find it funny that anyone can call Obama evil when it is he that is trying to help the less fortunate in this country where the Republicans are trying to make their lives even more miserable. In case anyone hasn't noticed the Republicans planned cuts include everything but defense spending and in an uproar because Obama appointed a man by the name of Hagel that will find cuts that can be made oin the defense budget.

Now to get back on topic, it appears that the right wing media would also like to watch Obama go to the rest room so they could criticize him for that too. Probably something in the line of he sits the wrong way or he should be reading the Bible while doing his business. Forget the fact that this was to be a time for Obama to enjoy a few hours of R & R without the press asking ignorant questions like "how did you do on the course today?". The reporters don't want to do their job, they just want the news handed to them and cry like babies when it isn't.

Actually I believe the real problem is that the reporters wanted to attack Woods for a story and never got the chance. Something like "How does it feel to be playing golf with the man that raised your taxes?" among many other ignorant questions.

SickOfTheBickering

It's really too darn bad that you find my avatar 'repulsive'.

I really don't find it repulsive...I find it as showing a lack of intelligence from failing to understand history and the difference between different personalities. To compare Hitler to any of our elected presidents whether it be Obama or G W Bush just shows a lack of intelligence. We have too many checks and balances in our system of government to make ignorant comparisons like that.

@ magyar27

Yeah it's too bad they never did that 10 years ago when all the lying was going on.

If the only "lack of transparency" they can find to bitch about is not being able to obnoxiously intrude on his down time, which has nothing to do with running the country and is no one else's business...then they've proved that this really is the most transparent administration in history.

What a bunch of idiots...thinking "transparency" means they get to go on all his social outings too. Do they also expect to have dinner with his family and tuck his kids in at night? Morons.

So with Syria going on, Israel and Palestine never ending, filibustering appointees desperately needed because of the above and more Americans being killed by Americans than Al Qaeda could ever kill themselves, this golf game is what the press is angry over? What a bunch of morons.

So the president goes off to play golf with Tiger. Yesterday the teatards were all whining about it and today the press is whining about it. The only comment I have is ----

• Oh well!!!

You may not like it... but it is my right to speak it... any way I see fit... at least until Obama has that right (along with so many others) removed.

Of course, and it is everyone's right to express their opinions about what you have to say as well as insist that you back up what you have to say.

Which rights has Obama removed so far?

Personally, I don't find your avatar so much repulsive as childish and stupid, and I fully support your right to be that way if you so choose. Go ahead, make yourself look like a kid. Knock yourself out.

I can't believe what I am hearing. Did somebody just complain about something Obama did? Amazing!!

And you guys though he was perfect.

Well, good morning America. Did you wake up and smell the coffee? This guy is not perfect, never was, never will be. He is not the Savior either.

I can't wait to hear all the complaining when the money runs out and you guys saying, where did all the money go? The country is heading for disaster and you guys are complaining about not seeing him for two days.

Good grief.

The country is heading for disaster and you guys are complaining about not seeing him for two days.

You're quite late to be pointing out an impending disaster. That was the case around 2007-2008, a disaster that we have since averted. Now we simply have to continue to clean up the mess, one of the largest in American history. Improperly handled, we could face more trouble, but nothing like the collapse that happened back then.

Notice I'm not pointing at any particular political affiliation - these are just the facts. Draw your own conclusions.

Let Obama have his Presidents' Day. I hope there is no moral contagion from the commercial moneymaker.

Bring back our national holiday Washington's Birthday in honor of someone who was much more than a President.

Should be two different holidays.

Wow, Fisty. Mullato Mama and all you others Fox lovers, (yes, you wouldn't constantly bring Fox into these conversations if you didn't secretly love them) Fox wasn't even mentioned, yet you feel the need to stick with your employer's talking points. Don't you feel even a little bit used, being paid to constantly come to these forums for the sole purpose of slamming a rival news company? Why even bother? If Fox is as irrelevant as you want people to believe, no one is paying attention to them, anyway. Well, you're half right. Only the ultra-libtards pretend not to pay attention, but like you, they still go there for real news. The news here, and the reason King Hussein tried to hide it, is that the King is socializing with the ultra-rich. The very people that he tears down and tries with every breath to get libtard losers to hate. Maybe he's telling Tiger that it's just politics - anything for the vote. nothing personal. Or maybe he's trying to get Tiger to hook him up with some of his porn star friends while Moochelle is in Aspen socializing with other ultra-rich. All hail King Hussein. gimme my obamaphone. Obaa-baa-ma. Stoopid libtard sheep.

Well said GBM.

Well, we know Faux Ed is just an oversize baby bird.

The first boob playing golf is historic?

Why is everything "historic" with this guy...

Pathetic just pathetic!!

Obama's secret round with Tiger Woods prompts press complaint

This is about par, no pun intended, for the media. Complain about not getting a photo opp but never think of complaining about the lack of cooperation over the Benghazi coverup. Why is anyone surprised?

As Fiesty so adroitly pointed out, if these news "hounds" (probably more accurate to refer to them by some other word related to dogs), want to do their job:

90 days into the new year and Congress has worked 15 days as of 2/15/2013, not to mention they are off again this week...

While Obama has taken 61 days of vacation after 31 months in office; at this point in their presidencies, GW Bush had 180 days at his ranch alone, and Reagan had taken 112 vacation days (by contrast, Bill Clinton: 28 days). But you boys and girls over at Dumb Fux Noise just keep spinning that yarn - you've knitted quite a tapestry so far.

Jody, Sweetheart, sorry I don't sit around all day with baited breath as you and the rest of your gang do waiting to see if you reply to my posts. Especially because you come up with gems like this:

WCA, the answer is simple: the democratic politicians just aren't as dumb as republican ones.

How very intellectual of you.

Nothing of merit to say, as usual.

God, you folks are easy.

Back in October of 2010, SickOfTheBickering.........said:

Quote.......The NAACP is inherently a racist organization. The organization's name explains the fact in that it is for the advancement of 'COLORED' people.

Imagine the OUTRAGE that would be voiced if our nation had an organization named the NAAWP (Nation Association for the Advancement of White People). Wouldn't you all be upset by that?

You will NEVER see the NAACP come to the defense of a white person but they are johnny-on-the-spot when an AA needs them. I wonder if any other 'COLORED' people in our nation resent the attention that the NAACP gives the AA's. Latinos, Native Americans, Asians... are they not considered 'COLORED' people? If so they sure don't seem to receive the attention of the NAACP that AA's receive......EndQuote

The NAACP, like the "underground railroad", came into being to combat the injustices faced (almost exclusively) by "colored people". Thus, it is understandable (to most) that both organizations spend/spent most of their energies helping those MOST in need (colored people).

Still, as injustices began to be applied to other groups, the NAACP responded. An example of this has been NAACP support for LGBT rights. (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAACP#NAACP_and_LGBT_rights)

You could have singled out any number of organizations for your criticism. But, you chose one that has SUCCESSFULLY sought, as it founding principle, to fight racism against "colored people". Furthermore, you wrongly ASSUME that organization has not fought for the rights of those other than "colored people".

You most certainly have a racist philosophy. But, you lack the courage of your convictions. You choose to wrap your racism in sophistry and deny it when called to account. So, really the NAACP has had a profound effect upon you. They have instilled a fear (of social censure) in you that prevents you from voicing the overt racism you, no doubt, harbor.

So, keep publishing your cautiously coded words. We mostly recognize them as yet another admission of your frustrated impotence and that yours is a disgraced, discredited, and defeated philosophy.

the press and media today are a bunch of paparazzi school girls, gossip, star worship and nothing to say worth a damn.

"The president playing with the world’s most famous golfer -- involved in a 2009 sex scandal..."

Why is the sex scandal mentioned. Obama campaigned with a former President involved in a sex scandal, so he's already set a precedent of hanging with that type.

Well, is that supposed to mean he should be filmed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and take a camera crew into the shower or the restroom with him?

Is that supposed to mean the President of the United States is not entitled to any privacy whatsoever, and should NEVER be WITHOUT the camera crew taping his every move?

Geez Republicans are such extremists! I wouldn't invite one to have breakfast for fear that they'd think I meant they could come to breakfast at my house "everyday" instead of just once.

Too extreme!

The President has every right to his privacy, these reporters would make a big thing out of him playing golf with the great Tiger Woods, I could hear Ed Henry of Fox News, "The President playing golf with a womanizer Tiger Woods".

Didn't the President dis, Ed Henry once before for his phoney reporting,

"...The president playing with the world’s most famous golfer -- involved in a 2009 sex scandal -- immediately became a national news story, as opposed to the commander in chief simply having some down-time with friends..."

Geez, I wonder why it doesn't hit the news that President Obama is sitting down negotiating with an "alcoholic" whenever the President sits down with John Boehner?

It's really too darn bad that you find my avatar 'repulsive'.

Last year during the campaign I saw many avatars on this site that I thought were repulsive. You all thought they were cute. To you, the profane language and obnoxious images were just fine.

Now the shoe is on the other foot. How does it feel?

Perhaps you should think about the things you do and the consequences they have, BEFORE you do them. Remember, what goes around comes around.

:O)

(cute little clown)

========

You seem to be throwing out some rather broad brush strokes here. A) I've never had an avatar, so your broad stroke is already off the mark B) Not certain the quantification of your 'you all' reference to determine who thought what was offensive and not offensive C) your logic is to bemoan the activity of some last year by turning around and doing the same thing as your basis for what 'maturity in action' is supposed to look like...nice and D) and you finish off with a verbal wagging of your finger accusing me of things I have not done when in reality what you said is everything you should have stated while looking directly in the mirror.

You're batting a 1000% today...

Well, is that supposed to mean he should be filmed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year

The President takes a couple of days off and the MSM goes apocalyptic...

A COUPLE??? He just got back from Hawaii. Be fair now... the liberal media reported how often Bush was taking vacations and I'm sure you were all over that.

Meanwhile on the other side of the street;

90 days into the new year and Congress has worked 15 days as of 2/15/2013, not to mention they are off again this week...

And we don't hear a peep!

That's very telling on what news sources you read. Only liberal media ignores these things. I've been hearing about it constantly for weeks (and no, I don't watch Fox News at all - I do read their page daily along with MSNBC to see both sides of the story so I don't sound like an angry one sided bigot spouting what I was told to think by mainstream media and blindly hating everyone else though).

It's the same 2 weeks on, 1 week off schedule they had last year (seems you weren't informed of this even though it's news over a year old - so here's the official link). http://www.senate.gov/pagelayout/legislative/one_item_and_teasers/2013_schedule.htm

It's really too darn bad that you find my avatar 'repulsive'.

Get over yourself. If you want to compare hate responses to avatars, let me know.

Allen - Omaha - I rather think Sick's avatar is perfect for him - evil and Hitler - totally sick!

To make such a story abuot the President playing golf with Tiger Woods shows what a slow news day it is. Every President has had their vacation days and President Obama isn't at half the point Bush was during the same time.

And, for those talking about the "evil" Tiger Woods and how bad it is for the President to be playing with him. I thought all of you guys were Christians? Don't any of you believe in forgiveness? Do you not believe in "judge not lest ye be judged?" Oh, that's right, you're Christians when it suits your purpose - actually you're not at all!

Republicans are just nuts. First they want every detail of President Obama's life, including college grades and passport applications.

At the same time, they argued that we didn't even need the tax returns of the republicans nominee for president while they complain about the non transparency of the democrats.

It is just more of the same damned if you do and damned if you don't strategy the righties have been pushing since President Obama was elected the first time. That is exactly why no one with any brains pays any attention at all to the republicans propaganda wing know as faux.

The same people who lied us to war in Iraq are still lying to us today but only the right wing wackos believe them anymore.

"The Far Right A holes will find anything to whine about."

Is that ever the truth!! A week ago Saturday when that storm hit New England, they were whining about the “liberal” weather channel. Then whine when they lose. They whine when they win. They find something to whine about 24/7/365.

WCA, I don't recall anyone pulling your string...

Mickey, thanks for reminding our little friend it's time to change his tampon!

Wasn't just Henry, it was the others in the white house press pool also. No other reporter will put their name to something like this. Although i'm not a big supporter of his policies i don't think the press should be there 24/7.

I wonder if Tiger told him the reason he left California was high taxes. (he said this during the Mickleson story)

Wow. A president plays some golf. That is no big deal, and he didn't choose to play with Tiger because he cheated on his wife...that is just silly. He chose him probably because he is a great golfer. I didn't complain when the former presidents hung out at Camp David or anywhere else, and frankly he vacations a lot less than most anyway. No, there is no requirement that a president is followed 24/7 365 days for 4 or 8 years totally constantly. Really, let's be honest here. Some didn't like Mr. Bush and some don't like Mr. Obama. So of course you will criticize how much each does whatever. But it really IS no big deal if Mr. Bush cleared brush or played golf with someone famous or whatever else he did for vacation, as long as it was legal. He had no obligation to allow press to watch every single branch he cleared so press could turn it into some kind of mistake or make up stories about it, and Mr. Obama has no obligation for press to watch him play golf so they can make up stories about why he played with this guy or that one, either. If you believe that presidents don't have the right to say no press is allowed at a family dinner, dinner with a colleague, golf game, horse-riding trip, or brush-clearing event then you probably don't understand what "transparency" means in the context of presidential lives. It doesn't relate to whom anyone plays golf with or rides horses with as long as it isn't illegal. We have became a nation of people who feel that we all have a right to know every.single.conversation every politician has with everyone, and while I agree that transparency is great on matters that matter, who can honestly say that it matters what they talk about or if he shows him a better way to putt? Really...it doesn't. Who cares?

I truly don't understand the need some people have to call each other names, and that goes for all sides. Do you think that a post with, "righties" or "libtards" in it makes your points any clearer or makes you sound any smarter? It doesn't, and it makes many people disregard what you say for obvious bias and nastiness. Why call names? If you disagree say so respectfully without names or making stereotypical generalizations, and then perhaps people might take your posts seriously.
"Typical of a" righty or lefty or whatever...how about just make your points respectfully and have a real discussion instead of calling names? I didn't care if Mr. Bush rode horses and I don't care if Mr. Obama plays golf, and I don't have a need to see each time the horse pooped or Mr. Obama missed a shot. Really...it isn't any of our business and who cares?

Who's Tiger Woods ????????????????

There's only one person that I tell when I go out to play golf! My wife! And most of the time I ask....

So the President of the United States successfully "dodged" the Papparazzi, big deal.

The full press doesn't have access to regular skeet shoots either.

Tiger Woods doesn't live in California, he lives in Florida.

Tiger owned a piece of income property which was a tiny house on the beach down in Orange County that he held for the appropriate amount of time, and then his brokers put up for sale.

He may not have even known he ever owned it.

As for California taxes; people who have the kind of money Tiger Woods has (and there are a lot of them), don't have to worry about California taxes.

That is the Joey version of transparency. Poor thing thinks open government means filming Obama 24/7 in hopes of getting a shot of his johnson. Here's a little ole link to help explain to Joe what transparency means:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/TransparencyandOpenGovernment

Gee, Joe FOX NEWS has a problem with this president? WOW!!! Slow news day, huh? Hell, this circle jerk of a news channel was probably more anxious to see Tiger Woods than the president. Or, more likely, sniffing around trying to link the president with an IHOP waitress! This was the channel that once referred to the First Lady (a Harvard-educated lawyer who, at one point in their legal careers, was the president's BOSS), as the Obama baby mama! Fox needs to learn that, when you try too hard to be hip and edgy, you usually succeed at neither.

And now, back to Fox Studios, for today's newsbreaker; TED NUGENT!!

Don't blame the President for this one.

Tiger is such a celebrity, had it been known he was playing with the president it would have been a nightmare for the secret service to keep fans away.

Of course, it might have been embarrassing for reporters, too, to be able to report that more people wanted Tiger's autograph than they did president Obama's.

The Press was barred for one simple reason, bad publicity on Obama's part by simply playing golf with someone whose character has become somewhat tarnished in recent years.

Also, with the economy in shambles, it's a little embarrassing for the American people to be reminded, once again, that Obama is still enjoying a good time while most of the country is struggling to survive.

bad publicity on Obama's part by simply playing golf with someone whose character has become somewhat tarnished in recent years.

@kkwilson - you do realize the golf game would have been disclosed once the game was complete. Your conspiracy theory that the press was left out to avoid bad publicity doesn't hold water. But hey, continue to run with your Tiger-gate idea. If is fun watching conservatives run with scissors on a bed of hot coals.

Who was pounding who I bet Tiger was on top you see Obama flew to Chicago by himself on his b day and his so called wife went in the other direction Obama just likes to spend his extra time with guys.

Who was pounding who I bet Tiger was on top you see Obama flew to Chicago by himself on his b day and his so called wife went in the other direction Obama just likes to spend his extra time with guys.

So that's what goes on behind those gated, walled-in conservative country clubs. Who knew!!

Dont know about that dont have time to do the golf thing running two companys dont have that much extra time on my hands.

This is the biggest non-issue "issue" I have ever heard. Ed Henry needs to grow the @!$%# up, no surprise he works for Fox News now. Always trying to make something out of nothing...

Since Fox isn't even considered "News" they can shove it. :)

Man! that is one classy woman!

And your avatar altered to make Obama look like Hitler just screams respect, right?

At least we know you're a hypocrite. You may carry on with your double standard life.

It's like I've been saying for years, the American media is nothing but tabloid news.

What is Sean Hannity going to talk about now !!!

It's Presidents Day, not Press Day.

The greatest threat for truth and honesty in news is Fox Kool-Aid news !!!

It's Presidents Day, not Press Day.

LOL very clever!

Did the press pool know that the President was having a few days off with out his family for fun in the sun. Give me a break. He has the right to a life without 10 - 15 cameras pointed at him at all times.

I hpe that the White House Press pool is not going to get like FOX news. Lets make the news because there doesn't seem to be anything happening today.

The testament to the no-drama Obama administration....That is too funny

"What is Sean Hannity going to talk about now !!!"

Don’t worry – he will find something to lie, bitch, whine, cry, complain, moan and groan about. That’s the only thing he’s good at.

Press corp, I understand Obama will be taking his daily crap this afternoon. Please get your cameras ready for this event that you are so interested in and don't want to be left out of.

Carl,
His Family is nowhere to be found,He apparently needs yet another 10 day Vay-Cay away from the Family...Maybe Mz O should be worried...hanging out with Tiger the adultery award winner,Isn't O always complaining about how littlè time he gets to spend with his family ?So his priorities are screwed up,that's not News !! I don't give a crap about seeing his every move...Who Cares !

Was Clinton in the group? If so, I am sure they would have pulled off quite a foursome with Jane Doe. Yet again, Obama showing that he takes the women vote for granted. Play golf with the one golfer who clearly has no respect for women.....

The optics are horrible.

Whomever thinks the President while acting as The President and on public payroll and on public retreat is a 'private person' wants to transform the public position of The President of The United States, into something much more palatable to people who have rulers.

What a tickle!

You got it covered either way huh Lie Teller? If a woman is invited to play golf with the President then Clinton is invited and it's some "Jane Doe"; and if no women are invited then the President "takes the women['s] vote for granted".

Typical phoney outrage coming from the wrongheaded RWNJs.

Truth and lilian - Oh I think someone should follow you two around and see the people you hang out with every day. I guarantee at least one of each of your friends has fooled around while married (and you probably knew it while they were doing it); I guarantee in each of your Church's there are couples playing around - maybe even the minister; I guarantee in each of your families not everyone is "holier than thou."

You're both HYPOCRITS and my guess is at least one of you is fooling around on their signficant other!

What is Sean Hannity going to talk about now !!!

Same thing as always...nothing!!!!

So how is it Mr. Obama's issue if Tiger cheated on his wife? That is between Tiger and his wife...who cares? I don't think playing golf with someone divorced for awhile after he got caught cheating means Mr. Obama is putting a stamp of approval on that cheating...that makes no sense. Mr. Bush hung out with people who did some pretty unsavory things sometimes and he wasn't perfect either. So what? Focus, people.

I am just making an honest observation. Maybe he should have played golf with Mickelson instead....

Truth - well clearly you AREN'T being truthful. Your post 2.11 was NOT just an honest observation. Not even close!

Seeking,

I said it was an "observation". Seriously. Obama playing golf with Tiger who clearly treats women as nothing more than objects??? All I am saying is that the optics are horrible. I find it humourous that somehow the Dems paint themselves as the party that represents women.

Heck, Tiger may not even be a Dem. But for Obama to play golf with him and not put two and two together in terms of how this looks simply boggles the mind. Let me put it to you this way: If you are a playing golf with somebody that was forced to do business with Gloria Allred in order to settle a sexual harrassment lawsuit, then you are probably missing something in regard to perception.

Tiger is a great golfer. Tiger is not a good person and has treated women horrible. He is Obama's friend. I have no problem with Obama playing golf with him. I just think the irony of it all is funny (though not quite as funny as the serial sexual harrasser Clinton pretending he respects women).

That, my friend, is the truth.

Truth - the President chose to play with someone who could help him improve his game - nothing more. Bush chose to let Saudis - who were 19 of the 9/11 terrorist - leave the country after 9/11 when no one else could. Let's talk about perception shall we? He chose to give special privileges to the leaders of the country that 19 of the terrorists came from - do we see a problem there?

I find it funny that your "truth" is nothing more than another way for you to throw stones at a very good President because you just can't admit the Republican party is filled with idiots!

Seeking,

I did not say anything about Bush. He is done and is looooooong gone from politcal life.

Funny how you skirt the subject about our current POTUS. I guess Obama could not find golf tips from anybody else in the world but another narcissistic, woman harrassing/using, rich individual.

Leave the Bush/Cheney/Rice crap at home. They are done. This is all on Baracks watch now and clearly you are having a tough time see his act up close. Let's be honest, the drone assassination program has to make you uncomfortable---at the very least.

Obama circa 2008: "I will close Gitmo in my first year of office. Advanced interrigation techniques make the rest of the world mad at us."

Obama circa 2013: "I'd like a couple of waffles for breakfast with a side of fruit. Also, can you bring me the assassination list for review? I'd like to determine who I plan on ordering an assassination on today. Good thing we have Gitmo open".

You lefties are funny. Bush is out and history will judge him. Obama is in and history is ALREADY judging him to be a fraud. Just wait until the full brunt of Obamacare is brought to the forefront. WE are going to see more Dems running for cover than you can shake a stick at. Let's just say, many people told you so. A cluster is in the making.....

Sorry. But you will see that I am right and speak the unvarnished truth.

the media house , white house, house of reps, and my ex-house are full of crap...the only thing i can do is just ensure that i continue to flush my mind, have a lot of fibre, keep body in shape and meditate and most importantly laugh :) hahaha ... peace :)

Because President Obama and Tiger Woods played golf, both are well known, both in the news. Must be that size two hat slipping over your ears G.E.. Most everyone else in the world gets it.

The article is about reporters complaining... is it not? When there are more IMPORTANT things going on that need to be addressed Johntho. Are you awake yet?

Well you know if the mainstream media doesn't get their daily fix from the Empty Suit....they just go friggin daffy!!!

Like taking a sip of water????

What is more important on 2/18/13 then the President and the worlds most well known golfer, doing a round. . The article isn't about reporters and you know it. Its about the presidents weekend. Since they wasn't privy they wrote what they knew.

Is this like conspiracy theory or what? Ponders that a moment as I get my Mission Impossible gear ready. How about everyday life isn't that more important ? Not everyone, as in We The People, have President's Day off. Do they? The folks in Washington and all those that converge around them are not in touch with We The People. Meteors are crashing into the Earth, dolphins are gathering in large sizes, earthquakes of significant magnitude are still rumbling, a whole host of issues within the US is going on, but let's talk about golf and who didn't get invited right along with who filed a complaint because their feelings got hurt.

Greatly,

Congress is taking 9 days off and our President takes 3 days off because nothing is happening in DC … there is no other new national political news stories today … so far.

Dennis... I want that kind of time off! *laughs*

I just hope 'n Pray our first lady wasn't sharpening up her golf swing skills on an Escalade ...

Because the official press have lived up to their end of the bargain and refused to report any stories that put the Obama Administration into question in any shape or form and now the official press are being sidelined entirely.

lilian101 - you're nothing but a cheap Republican liar. Do you feel better when you post such stupidity? You look the fool you clearly are!

SeekingSanity lilian101 - you're nothing but a cheap Republican liar. Do you feel better when you post such stupidity? You look the fool you clearly are!

Interesting how far the left will go to slander anyone who isn't a Democratic bobble head. They expose themselves as dedicated; 'The Veiw' watchers to ignorantly attack free thinking individuals. Being 'Liberal' is no longer the epitome of intellectualism that could once constructively debate opposing points of view. People like you SeekingSanity, prove it can now be classified as Rampaging Liberalism ... sad.

Good I couldn't give a @!$%#e if Tiger and the prez o go golfing...at least we know 16 yr old Americans can be safe from drone attacks for a few hours....wait for it .......

And what did this round of golf cost the taxpayer? AF1 round-trip to Florida, motorcade to & from the course..... ZERO to do with duties of the office.... wonder what Tiger needed to speak with Barry about? Or maybe... he's giving Barry some advice about women?

Johntho...you stated Bush at a 14% approval...well his average was 49.4 averaging higher than Obama who is at 49.0... Bush still holds the record for the highest approval rating at any one time of any president...he was at 90%... and as for overall...it was Kennedy 70%, Eisenhower 65% then Bush Sr. 61%

so quit spewing nonsense and stick to facts to make what you say credible..which nothing you say is

Sorry - this isn't about Cheney and Gingrich.

And an absolute bigoted idiot writes about it. Simply put, its you.

I don't know if any of them will be visiting Willard Romney (AKA) the "Empty Suit."

That a way John...when all else fails.....Name call....right on cue.

Good to see you're in lock step with the Empty Suit....those 4 lives meant nothing to you and your ilk.......

and empty suit is? You fall into that category yourself. "Another pimp visits with the chief pimp Empty Suit.........", let me add another to your list of accomplishments, pond scum, or scum bag, both are appropriate for people that are trying to make politics out of a tragedy.

The only tragedy resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave........You should really get some help for all that anger you have trapped inside of you there Buttercup.........

And I have no desire to make politics out of Benghazi.....We'd just like the Empty Suit to tell us where he was.....and who decided to stick with the "movie" story..........Seems like simple questions to answer.......

Hm-m-m-m let me see here. Benghazi or the rationale for the Irag war? WMD's? Hm-m-m-m Benghazi or the war on el Quida threatening us with nuclear weapons in Iraq? It's a tough one.

So much fake outrage!!! Call an whambalance.

Empty suit or empty head WB, in your case it might be empty head. Anger issues, you bet, you scum that make politics out of this tragedy are about as low as any American is allowed to be, that pisses me off. You claim it isn't about politics, where were you when Bush dropped the ball on the trade center? Where were you when the embassies were bombed on Bush's watch? You are just another birther, just a bunch of hate filled bigots. Benghazi is the new birther movement.

wb52:: Who got 4 Americans killed? Do you know FOR A FACT what really happened? I guess you overlook the 4,000 Americans that George W Bush (aka Shrub) killed? Or do you prefer to overlook his two UNFUNDED wars because it was your savior who got us into them. Or the thousands who came home with physical or emotional damages from his wars. I'm sure you don't know about them-- but I do because I'm a friend to a number of them. Not just from reading about them either.

Nope....it's not a new birther movement......it was murder and the Empty Suit has blood on his hands.........Your commander in chief is the one that went low when his staff turned a deaf ear to repeated requests.....This isn't going to go away...and you can get pissed all you want.....you should be pissed at the failures of this administration........Who gave the order to continue the movie story????

Simple question with no answer..........It's not about politics....It's about if our leaders (sic) are liars.....I don't really care what you call me because name calling is all you really have.......It's obvious you don't have a leader in the white house.......

First.....Bush is not my savior....there is but one....Second it was voted in congress to proceed of which your Empty Suit was part of.....Third......I don't know of many of them....but I know of one....he was a member of the family.....He fought and died for this country in a needless war...yeah I wasn't in favor of either of those two wars either....But he felt it was his duty.......What uniform have you worn???

If you haven't and until you do STFU about war.........You don't know what you're talking about.....

I'm going to have to ask the question once again. Which was worse conduct for the POTUS: initiating the war on Iraq based on WMD, a presence of al Quida and Sadam's nuclear progam OR a State Department Secretary erroneously stating, in the early chaos, that the attack on Benghazi was prompted my a unholy movie........quick.........which was worse.....time's running out,...... Iraq or Benghazi???

wb, yes to continue the war was voted on by our elected Congress. They based there decision on the information as it was presented by the WH: WMD, remember the quote during the congressional debate, "If we wait for the smoking gun, it may turn out to be a mushroom cloud"; it was voted on under that kind of hysteria and hype coming from the WH. Did you believe that Iraq was enriching uranium yellow cake that Sadam was getting from Nigeria? Did you believe that Sadam had a huge arsenal of WMD? Did you believe that Sadam was harboring al Quida operatives and was giving vast sums of financial support directly to al Quida? Did you believe that Iraq had something to do with the 9/11 attack? Well I guess if you believed any of that hype AT THE TIME of the vote on the war, I couldn't blame you for voting in favor of continuing a war effort. The information provided to Congress by the WH was completely, utterly and embarrassingly WRONG; unfortunately I have to give all those sheep a kinda pass. There simply is NO comparison between the mid east wars and Bengahzi. If anyone is truley angry at the Bengahzi situation and not at all concerned with how we got into the Iraq war, then I know that person is soley taking a particular political stand.

And by they way, let's not ever shut up our citizens simply because they were never in the military....what the hell are we fighting for? And yes, I was wearing a uniform from '69 to '72, so I guess you WILL let me talk, huh!

Damyou: The Iraq Resolution or the Iraq War Resolution (formally the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002,^[1] Pub.L. 107–243, 116 Stat. 1498, enacted October 16, 2002, H.J.Res. 114) is a joint resolution passed by the United States Congress in October 2002 as Public Law No: 107-243, authorizing military action against Iraq.

Go and look up the Congression Records for the individual votes.

Welcome home brother..........And you know what...I'm willing to concede the all the WMD arguments etc. Yes it was flawed intell. My main baily wick is the cover-up that came after. And all indications even today about this incident indicates that a cover up took/is taking place. Why will no one answer the one simple question.....Who pushed the movie story and why did it continue for two weeks???

Bush wasn't right then....This guy isn't right now......You were lied to 69-72 just like I was. It wasn't right then either.

I just have a hard time standing with a guy that is continuing a charade and refuses to come clean....This man in my opinion and everyone has one....is a supreme twister of the truth and is not to be trusted with the welfare of this country.

I respect your opinion to see he him as you wish. No amount of arguing here will ever change my or your opinion about this man. But I see a lot here that I don't like.

I stand by each of our rights to agree to disagree........

Um, Damyou, about the ACA and preexisting conditions:

The Affordable Care Act eliminates preexisting condition restrictions by 2014 on all employer-based health plans, as well as newer individual health insurance policies.

That's 2014, less than one year away. Unfortunately the WH had to make SOME concessions to get it passed. BUT: in the meantime, a temporary federal high-risk pool program has been set up in every state. This temporary federal pool is known as the Preexisting Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP) and provides coverage to U.S. citizens and legal residents with preexisting conditions who have been uninsured for at least six months. Benefit plans offered by the PCIP provide coverage without a preexisting condition exclusion

Any other questions?

wb: I agree to disagree brother. But if the people don't see that the same act of lies and hyped persuasion from our highest elected officials that was perpetrated in '64 (That MoF'n Gulf of Tonkin resolution) and what the Bush WH did is the same darn act. I'm tellin' ya, it was like an f'n bad dream coming back.................and most people didn't see it... or worse, denied any similarity. It was the same "official" act of lies and deceit. Sorry, I don't like using polemical, charged words, but I'm concerned that a Gulf of Tonkin fabrication can fool us again................man, it's scary. HOT DAMN..........just another f'n day of policing the front and......I AM awake, Sir!

Who cares??? Two losers, neither with any morals, playing golf.

wb52 - where was your outrage during the Bush Administration when more than 20 US citizens were killed in embassy and consulate attacks?

Tel - the loser and person devoid of morals here is you!

Damyou. Honestly, I'm not sure what you mean by "they" are not taking applications. The actual insurance is through private insurers. The PCIP part of the ACA has not been changed, as far as I know. Also, the states decide what the definition of pre-existing is as far as what conditions are excluded and how far back and how far forward the preexisting condition is considered. According to the current Patient Protection and Afordable Health Care Act ,the Preexisting Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP) will cover most individual preexisting conditions if there comes an issue with a particular private insurer. And the Jan 1 2014 date is currently the date whereupon private insurers can not deny any preexisting condition. Seriously, if there has been some kind of Congressional vote to the contrary, please let me know where I can get that information.

And, BTW, I don't think that everything is just roses...far from it. I am not a particular supporter of Obama either. But I try to understand what's going on around me; and I try to stick to actual facts when considering my own situation....especially when it comes to health and taxes. So let me know who you were talking about when you says "they" aren't taking people, and get me pointed in the right direction concerning this congression vote on the preexisting changes to the PpACA.

Johntho...you stated Bush at a 14% approval...well his average was 49.4 averaging higher than Obama who is at 49.0... Bush still holds the record for the highest approval rating at any one time of any president...he was at 90%... and as for overall...it was Kennedy 70%, Eisenhower 65% then Bush Sr. 61%

so quit spewing nonsense and stick to facts to make what you say credible..which nothing you say is

pgsbox24 - OMG you truly ARE delusional. Bush 90% approval was for a very BRIEF period after 9/11 - then it sank as he lied and lied and lied! And, Obama is higher than Bush's average and always will be. Grow up! 90% approval for a few days means nothing. And, he sinks lower and lower every day as what he did prior to 9/11 comes out more and more. That's why he's basically been in hiding since he left office!

Nothing you post is credible when the TOTAL facts are known!

Seeing the comment count (661 ATM) sent a shiver down my spine! I hope my comment isn't the you know what number. Then I'll be more than a little creeped out.

Of course they were all over Bush even after he stopped playing golf.

Really? I don't think so.

You mean like you tea people republicans have been all over President Obama for playing golf for the last four years. You've showed you and the tea people republicans are true hypocrites.

Of course they were all over Bush even after he stopped playing golf.

Actually, W. Bush lied. He never stopped playing Golf. Remember the video that proved so.

Bush stopped playing to honor the military fighting in the phoney baloney war he cooked up. But that only lasted a week or two, then he was back at the game.

Fritz... BS.

Fritz, the GOP whines when President Obama takes a day off, plays a round of golf, goes on vacation with his family, or dares watch a ball game so spare us your phony "victim" nonsense about if it were a republican president....because that is just a crock of bull.

Don't care if Barry takes a day off... it does concern when he WASTE MILLIONS of my tax dollars to jet-set across the country to "play a round" while the wife & kids jet off to snow ski.

Let's see... a 747, motorcade, security.... yeah that's gonna cost us.... all for a game of GOLF.....

No Emperor complex here.....

?!?! You should give those back!

The news item is the MASSIVE WASTE of tax dollars while PRETENDING to give a rat's rear about America

Indeed!

John Lemaster, well said.

The media will talk about anything other than real issues, the public has deemed real issues as too boring.

Remember when Milton Friedman used to have a show on network TV talking about economics? That was when people were actually interested in being educated.

When its Faux Newz, it's the Obama Defamation Machine.

And I'd like to see a list of complainers. Faux has a history of taking umbrage and saying everyone is offended when the reality is Faux are the ONLY ones offended. Well, maybe Brietbart and other hard right organizations too.

Wow Fox was not mentioned Only the White House Press Association President was....But all the leftys are up in arms about Fox News....They must really scare them...So they must be watching daily,and maybe that's a good thing,they are actually being educated by some truth...Maybe we should all start watching Fox like they do,It must be good if the left hates them so bad,The truth will set you free LOL!!!!

He ditched the press for a reason..... why?

Barry LIVES for the limelight......

So true. You know those republicans that give away our tax payer money get enough work breaks, in working just part time!!!

That's why congress takes a weeks vacation after only being on the job about 1 month.

job -- what about the 252 democrats in congress? are they also only working part-time?

Ricardo, they didn't even work a month--Congress has worked 15 days since it reconvened after the new year.

billybob, the House is controlled by the GOP which established the work schedule--two weeks (about 3 days each), then a week off and that doesn't count the extra time off for holidays. The Senate has a better record. Don't forget, the GOP Senators waste time while in session playing filibuster and delay games. Personally, doesn't matter who is in charge, they should be required to work 5 day weeks and the only vacations should be those for holidays and the late summer recess.

jody -- so again we have all republicans are garbage and democrats saintly -- did i get that correct?

Morris and Cheney were not playing with Tiger.

Cheney would be out shooting somebody in the face.

Jaywright,
That's an insult to Dicks and Dickheads everywhere ! Lol

Ster - yes comparing anyone to Cheney is definitely an insult!

Wow.

And you so-called liberals like to call Republicans racists.

Just f-ing wow.

"Oh, two black men playing a game that only "WHITE MEN" should be playing? LMAO about that. The GOP still has their noses out of joint because a 'uppity' man resides in the White House. According to the GOP, that means the POTUS is suppose to be white."

Clueless............

By the way....who's calling him uppity....looks like only you......

One of the most racist postings I have seen. Congratulations Sally.

I sure hope the rest of the normal posters come to her rescue and explain how being a racist is OK if you like Obama.'

Oh, two black men playing a game that only "WHITE MEN" should be playing?

I sure hope neither one was toting a package of Skittles. Considering Florida's right to kill black guys standing on green grass laws, the results could have been devastating.

By the way....who's calling him uppity.

Behind closed doors many republicans/ tea people refer to the President as such. Go to a tea party meeting and you hear worst.

Republicans calling Democrats "rascist".

Priceless.

Salud

There you go, Job1 provides the "Truth".

In secret tea party meetings, they (Anyone who does not agree with the presdient's agenda)calls the President "Uppity" and worst!

By the way, the meetings I have gone to have not included racial slurs. The minorities in the meeting would not appove and the "Uppity White Men" don't use that kind of language to begin with.

Thomas, it is written in black and white. Sally posted racist comments. I have not. So by your example, yes, Democrats are racist and Republicans are not.

But a liberal publicly posting racist remarks gets a pass.

In secret tea party meetings, they (Anyone who does not agree with the presdient's agenda)calls the President "Uppity" and worst!

Go to a meeting and speak with tea party members one on one or in small groups, and you will get their true feelings. There is plenty of tape and video to prove so.

How many have you actually been to?

Yeah that's what I figured.........

Job1.

I have been to meetings, spoken to tea party activist in small groups, one-on-one and many of the people that I talk to casually (Friends, family and work acquaintances) have never used racial slurs in my presence.

I actually hear the term "Whitey" and "Cracker" a lot more than I do the N word, unless of course you include black people using the N word.

I'm sure you can find a video of someone using a racial slur and demand that they are tea party members or Republicans. I can find a video of a person having sex with a donkey and claim that both the person and the donkey are Democrats, but neither of these scenarios uphold your stance that Republicans or tea party members are racist. If they do, then all Democrats are perverts. I don't think either statement is true. There are racists in both parties (With plenty of video to back that up), but they are not the norm and your generalization that Republicans are racist is untrue. Does Sally accurately represent your thoughts?

Well Job1 spoke up. How about the rest of you: Cat, Pig, Johntho, Walker, Amy, Jody, Pat, Backhouse...

Doesn't anyone else want to fess up to respecting what Sally had to say and defending it? Her statements are all negative GOP. Isn't that what you guys stand for, regardless of the message?

Just because it's in you nature to cheat on your partner/mate, doesn't mean that all others do the same.

Just like a lib....make an accusation without a shred proof.........Typical

The pot calling the tea kettle black. Did you read the post from billybob? DUHHHHHHHHHH

job -- no need to get your panties in a knot -- i started by saying my guess -- that's all it is, nothing more. if you do not agree that is fine but your penchant for denigrating those with whom you disagree is a rather childish characteristic.

Oh well, we have to set the bar low for the Obama haters.

there you go again -- why sling the standard liberal response of "obama hater" ? i don't hate the guy but i do believe he has been an ineffective president due to a significant lack of the necessary leadership skills.

Ah, er, em, I THINK that the post from job was in responce to wb52's post. wb52 refers to some "proof" cited in your original post. Like you say, it is your opinion - clearly stated in your post, so there should be no reply inferring that there was ever any accusation with proof.

HEY Mr Transparency. GIVE us your COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS. You are as transparent as bovine droppings.

"my guess is that barry wanted some advice on how to handle women."

My guess is you’re a complete moron.

truthseeker - why should he? No other President has shown theirs nor have other Presidents been harassed for them. Get a life and try to at least pretend to be relevant!

HEY Mr Transparency. GIVE us your COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS. You are as transparent as bovine droppings.

truthseeker - and you are lower than bovine droppings. Moron!

You mean like the tea people republican GOP has taken the last four years off and plan to take the next four years off.

They don't allow crap covered boots on golf courses.

Next thing you know, they'll be filing a complaint about not being able to follow him into the bathroom.

GROW UP....We don't need to know EVERYTHING. Playing golf and getting a bit of personal time .... what a novel idea.

Al,
Cue the Leftard Commie sheep :
Bah, O's my savior Bahhh
Bahh, O can do no wrong Bahh

Sheepie it's shearing time and your emperor has no clothes
childish isn't it Al in Visalia CA....in the State of no return...

Maybe you can understand why his supporters are skeptical of the media, Ron.

What important things did he miss? What?

Republicans and Congress are away for 10 days, obstructing as usual before they left, and Your Mad because the president played a game of golf?? your kidding right? ?

Naaa , Never mind, Just a troll I see,wanting to "Rant" . For no reason apparently and Fox must be on in the background as this was posted may I presume?

Now this is one of the reasons I will never vote Republican again. Republicans in Congress have moved so far away from the Real issues that I no longer recognize them. And stuff like this crap.. Wow, Really? Who sits around thinking up all this Bizarre Nonsense that I see everywhere? I am ashamed to admit I used to be Independent and vote Republican or Democrat, depending on who was running. 12 year Nose Dive!

" Meh" who care about my 1 measly vote.
