We all know how that turned out.

In brief, they must be told their sex lives will be limited because they won't be able to send that next text message that will lead to unbridled sex. It's always about sex.

(20,018 posts)Only verifiable facts should be reported as facts.
Lying about any facts in a news-cast should be a felony with mandatory jail time (including for anyone who authorized the lie).
Opinions don't really need to be reported at all. We can talk to each other and form our own opinions.
If we don't solve this problem, nothing else we do will ever matter.

(95,337 posts)Bush just got in the way of Cheney actually running the country. Probably the same thing for Reagan.
mazzarro
(3,450 posts)And it must have started somewhere, so it most likely was something he learned or started while he was working for the Reagan administration with Bush Sr. being the one pulling Reagan's strings.

(18 posts)As much as this picture tells the real truth, when a sitting President is on vacation, it's not like they are unreachable in case of a crisis or even not thinking about the problems facing the country or the world. There are other people in the government taking care of the day to day things (or at least I hope so).
Even in my little insignificant job, I think about work when I am on vacation.
LittleGirl

(1 post)Its remarkable how the red and the blue obelisks varies very well knowing that all four are loaded with something most people call "lies". And, if I misspelled a word please don't reply. I'm a poor speller but I try to catchum!.

(19,379 posts)Care to elaborate on the "lies" contained in those statistics? Seems like fairly accurate accounting of those President's vacation days, but perhaps you have access to information that will illuminate us to the real numbers.
Here is a new meme for you to make. Contrast the number vacation days taken by congress vs obama during his term....
