Wait! Golf Cart One could go to Tallahassee instead of having the team go to DC! Benefits for The Duffer in Chief...another ride in that neat air plane...there are 3 great golf courses in Tally for him to play and he can pardon Jameis Winston. On the side he can do a little fundraising for Charlie Christ and maybe Ann Bowden will make him some of her famous banana pudding.

Time off from the daily grind maybe, but it really is a sepreate category of goofing off. Obama has taken 14 vacations for a total of 92 days. We won't count Camp David days as Camp David is a remote White House. The Texas Ranch was also set up as a remote White House. So we won't count those days. Bush spent 26 days at the family retreat in Kennebunkport. We'll count those. He also spent 18 whole days on Obama-style vacation. So: Bush - 44 Obama - 92 We don't know how much we get billed for the 9 million dollar pads the Obamas treat themselves to vs the Ranch and Kennebunkport of Bush so cost would be conjecture. Does it matter ? As long as he is seen going straight from a national nightmare to the golf course his job rating goes further into the cellar. No Democrats will want the loser's help campaigning at mid-terms and his last two years could be two years of vacation. He'll be able to golf, scribble with his pen and play Angry Birds with his phone.

Lazing around the White House? Are you shitting me? You forgot to mention the watermelon and fried chicken! Swampy, you should wear your sheet when you post so we can't tell it's you.

I think Swamp is secretly rooting for the British...
"On Aug. 24, 1814, during the War of 1812, British forces invaded Washington D.C., setting fire to the White House, as well as other public buildings."

If you people haven't figured it out by now, I'm not into "politically correct" BS. Lazy is lazy. Lazing is lazing. You are projecting your own prejudice and reading bull crap into a simple word. You always look for some nefarious meaning in everything I say.
