I find it surprising that anybody believes campaign promises.
9/11 was actually in 2001, not 2002. We're currently at the point of 8/25/2002 in the Bush years. If he did all of that vacationing pre-9/11, then he was never even in the white house until 19 days after 9/11.GORDON wrote:Pre-9/11.
He even stopped playing golf in 2003 because he didn't feel it was the correct image for a President to be playing golf while Americans were at war.
And it was a little unexpected to me that this vacation discussion is happening because I said he doesn't have the stomach for all the criticism.
In a new authorized biography, French First Lady Carla Bruni claims U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama told her that life in the White House is “hell.”
“Don’t ask! It’s hell. I can’t stand it!” Bruni says Michelle Obama told her after being asked about life as the wife of the president during a Sarkozy family visit to the White House in March.
The account, first reported by London’s Daily Mail, appears in a new book “Carla And The Ambitious,” written by French journalists Michael Darmon and Yves Derai in cooperation with Ms. Bruni.
I'll bet it is hell and having security in every room. Wonder if there are tapes of every president banging his wife. Oh Ronnie oh Ronie, Oh God Ronnieeeeee. Scary. Must be hell.TheCatt wrote:I can't decide between:

Andrea Tantaros has penned a scorching editorial for the New York Daily News deeming First Lady Michelle Obama a "modern-day Marie Antoinette" for her vacation in Spain with her daughter.
"The First Lady is spending the next few days in a five-star hotel on the chic Costa del Sol in southern Spain with 40 of her 'closest friends,'" Tantaros writes, pointing to a CNN report that Michelle Obama and her group are expected to occupy 60 to 70 rooms. "Not exactly what one would call cutting back in troubled times."
"Every time we're digging our cars out -- what global warming?" he said. "(Global climate disruption is) more of a sort of generic blanket term, I guess, that can apply in all weather conditions."
Look, as president, I swore to uphold the Constitution, and part of that Constitution is a free press. We’ve got a tradition in this country of a press that oftentimes is opinionated. The golden age of an objective press was a pretty narrow span of time in our history. Before that, you had folks like Hearst who used their newspapers very intentionally to promote their viewpoints. I think Fox is part of that tradition — it is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view. It’s a point of view that I disagree with. It’s a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world. But as an economic enterprise, it’s been wildly successful. And I suspect that if you ask Mr. Murdoch what his number-one concern is, it’s that Fox is very successful.
