One of the umpteen reasons I love GWB

[Abbey Marie]

(And loathe Obama)

Christmas GWB vs. Obama style:


It’s hard not to compare presidents and the habits that each one brought with them to the White House. Both men served during a time of war on terror, and both George W. Bush and Barack H. Obama served two terms in office. When it came to Christmas, how the two U.S. presidents spent their Christmas holiday was completely different.
Western Journalism (http://www.westernjournalism.com/obama-is-about-to-enjoy-a-christmas-vacation-guess-how-much-it-will-cost-taxpayers/) recently reported that the Obama’s travel to Hawaii just before Christmas and have done so since before Obama was elected as president. The cost associated with traveling to Hawaii is phenomenal, especially when one considers the human costs involved. The president’s family, staff, security detail, photographer, and Air Force One crew accompany the trip, most of whom must be housed, fed, and transported to and from airports, golf courses, and restaurants. Judicial Watch attempts to keep records of the Christmas in Hawaii costs and their reports can be read by clicking here (http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-obama-familys-2014-christmas-vacation-in-hawaii-cost-taxpayers-3672798-in-transportation-expenses/).
Bush also celebrated Christmas away from Washington, but one interesting practice differentiated the two presidents in their Christmas-time habits. President Bush spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at Camp David and would only leave Washington the day after Christmas. The reason why some may find surprising. In an article titled, “At Christmastime, George W. Bush was Santa, Obama is Scrooge,” Washington Times reporter Joseph Curl (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/dec/25/joseph-curl-christmastime-george-w-bush-was-santa-/) explained the reason behind it. Every year, President Bush gifted his entourage the ability for all of them, everyone associated with the president, to be with their families in Washington for Christmas.

Bush intended an insular Presidency, with foreign policy put on a back-burner. Cue 9/11 .. and Bush 'turning on a dime'. Having understood his intended direction didn't fit his responsibilities, he met the reality he was faced with, and in the most conceivably meritorious way. He took the decisions called for. He followed through in the best interests of the people he was elected to serve.

Enemies were confronted, and dealt with. Obama's stance has been to run away from them.

Run away or --aid them!!!!
His fake war on ISIS, ALLOWED ISIS to grow take more territory and gain far greater wealth/power, before other nations stepped in to really hit them!! While obama placed THE COMMANAND CONTROL HEADQUARTERS OF ISIS
IN RAQQA , OFF LIMITS FOR U. S. AIR-STRIKES FOR TWO YEARS!!!!

WHILE SUPPOSEDLY FIGHTING WE GAVE IMMUNITY TO ITS COMMAND AND CONTROL CENTER WHICH WE COULD HAVE OBLITERATED!!

TO PUT THIS IN PERSPECTIVE--IMAGINE IF WE COULD HAVE DESTROYED HITLER'S COMMAND AND CONTROL CENTER IN BERLIN AND REFUSED TO DO SO FOR TWO YEARS DURING WW2!!!!

FOLKS, THAT ACTION BY OBAMA POINTS TO PURE TREASON!!!! A DAMN FACT!!!
I DARE ANYBODY TO POINT OUT HOW IT DOES NOT!!

GWB was concerned with all of the USA and rest of the world, and stayed close to the Command
Center. Times of crisis, he remained close by.

Obama deserts the Command Center on the taxpayer'e dime with his entourage in tow.
His loyalty is just to himself, and is selfish and very snobbish toward the better good.

That article did sum it up very well, Abbey.

W cared about his people, staff, and families.

Obama only cares about himself - a piss poor 'leader'.

A reasonable summary, and thanks .. but I believe Tyr's own does a lot more to capture just how outrageously Obama has acted. Obama's gone out of his way to take decisions that end up profiting ISIS. Seems to me that this is no less than treasonous.

I'd also like to see FJ's comment. Perhaps he'll explain to us that Obama really needed to consider the 'human rights' of his terrorist, ahem, 'enemies' .. ?

That is bullshit and I have explained it before. You just choose
to not read what is FACT!

Bin Laden was offered up by the Saudi government on a silver platter.
Bill Clinton declined it.

GWB consolidated INTEL and LE agencies AFTER 9/11.
That is no prior presidents fault, except Clinton refusing the offer.
Prior to that, there was very little sharing of information.
Each agency was it's own little kingdom. I know because
I had to often query them for information on a particular
case.

Again, you do not know what you are talking about.

Don't waste your breath, Elessar.

She doesn't get any attention at home and acts out here to get it.

Yeah? And YOUR President has done WHAT? Everyone thinks he's Muslim but I think he's French. He's got that white surrender flag hanging from his pocket and can whip it out faster than Matt Dillon.

You know how many lives YOUR PANSY-ASS has cost? Count up every single one since he pulled our troops out of Iraq. Probably don't have enough bandwidth to hold THAT pic.

BTW ... your bottom pic is a fake.

[Elessar]

You may be right.

I just do not like the inaccuracy posted by the the ignorant.
FACT beats supposition hand over fist.

I would not insult the French that way!:laugh:

GWB was real. He showed his love, and his prayers, and wasn't ashamed to do so. To this day he does a lot of things for soldiers, and others, just because he likes to and wants to. Even if some want to say that his policies were for the birds, I think he was and is a good and decent man.

Obama comes off as cold and distant. 100-1 odds he doesn't follow a similar path once out of office.

Shit....

He is totally worthless, plain and simple.
One term Senator who only served his office for
147 days of his term,being away from his post otherwise,
voting "present" 87% of the time there.

Like Hillary, a wasted choice of an elected 'leader'.

John McCain was far better. He reaches across the
aisle to work things out, and always has.

The above two are arrogant and selfish.

Not gonna name anyone here that cannot reply back.

Yet I know a few here that are worthy of discorn.

Fuck that...

Ignorance cannot be healed with some people.

I know far more about that issue than anyone here.

She's blowing smoke up here own liberal ass on this case,
and refuses to be educated.

[reason10]

I didn't agree with everything GWB did, but he was a class act. He never shamed the office of president, not like the KENYAN SHOESHINE BOY.

So True....


....What is it about the Left...that always..ALWAYS...Blames America First? Is it Indoctrination that started in their early years...and they are to stupid / Lazy to find out the Truth with just a little research?

It's a close call. France HAS surrendered to France before. :laugh:

Good question. I've wondered for years what makes some people think as they do, to include myself. I'm extremely logical and analytical and short on emotion. My mother's a bleeding heart liberal. Go figure how THAT one worked out. So of course, I am going to be logical and analytical. :)

My best guess is it's hard-wired. Leftwingers think with (misguided) emotion and dumbass idealism. They ALWAYS hate the winner. When Israel was the underdog they were all over helping Israel. After Israel kicked everyone's asses, they turned on them. The same with the US. They hate any and everything that's on top. It's backwards-assed thinking and I have no idea where it comes from.

The irony is, the left have become the fascists they accuse everyone else of being. Telling everyone what they're supposed to think, how to act and what to do. It's smoke and mirrors. They call us Nazis when Nazis were socialists to the extreme.

A colleagues son recently completed his 3 year tour as SS on GWB's Dallas detail. Pretty much had nothing but good to say even though in his profession bad mouthing the Boss would not be expected. Rode a lot of miles on bicycle with W. on the 70 miles of trails & roads when they went to the ranch. Went to a lot of sporting events also and W. always made sure that the "guys" got to spend a few minutes with the athletes. A lot of drudge duty too.

I heard he treats his detail very well. And the troops too
