Vacation Days

Yeah. That might matter if Obama was running against Bush. But he's not.

[nevergaveitathought]

the first liar who decides what a vacation day is has the advantage....

leaves the person who lost to defend himself

instead of some subjective decision as to what constitutes a vacation day, why not just add up objective things like fundraiser days and golf days and flitting about the battleground states days and other things that are objective

an out of washington dc day isnt necessarily telling

[Guest123018-4]

I wonder what the cost of each vacation day was in comparison.
Throw in the cost of Moochells too and Mrs. Bush..

While what you say is 'factually' true, Odumbo did run against Bush in 2008. Since that netted him the election in 2008, he is trying it again in 2012. There is a great number of ignorant fools out there who voted for Odumbo in 2008 and who will vote for Odumbo again in 2012 who did not realize Bush wasn't running in 2008 and do not realize Bush isn't running in 2012.

this is true.

During 43's first 3 years I took about 300 vacation days because business was so good I could afford to stay camped at Pebble Beach enjoying wine, golf, and expensive tail. The last 3 years I have taken 20 days total (leaving in the morning for a week so that will make it 27), business sucks. #1 reason our customers give when we ask why they are not buying: We don't know what this President and Congress will do so we are sitting on our hands until we have a clear signal. Uncertainty is killing the private sector.

It is still Bush's fault. You know that, don't you? President Bush is responsible for more things happening in the Obama Administration than President Obama is. President Bush needs to let go of the office so Obama can get started. Geez, it's been three and a half years now.

What a crock o' shit.

Where do you see a crock of shit? I see this daily. Small and medium sized business always are watching the political tea leaves because policies will effect them more than the Fortune 500s.

You have to be blind as a bat, you must not be a small business owner, because being one myself, and working for another, I see this every freaking day, many small and medium sized businesses are VERY nervous about what is going on, and just waiting to see what happens this november. We (they) are NOT hiring, just riding out the storm, and hoping to survive. Small business is the back bone of this country, and you Doove don't have a clue, about the business world....

Well maybe Obama should start two wars and give everyone a tax break, oh and ramp up lending where your dog could get a no doc loan for 500k to buy the house of his dreams.

We can pretty easily tell who on here has never owned a business.

[Guest123018-4]

My guess is doof and randy4hisdaddyslove are not business owners.
My best years ever were during Bush's term The writing began showing on the wall when the dems took control of congress. It has not been anywhere near as good since.

Yea , people that say they are holding off on hiring because of taxes. If your business is good and expanding, you hire and pay the God Damn taxes!
