I think we can see those issues at play in both Romney and Obama, and while it's common, it does make you wonder what is truly driving them.

So tell us, is the rumor true? Did your father really have 34,785 posts on an escort review board?

Well, Amy is no longer the daughter of the worst president ever. Malia and her sister now have that honor.

I have what, 11,000+ and you have nearly 4,000 posts. How does that make you the judge of me? Are we speaking in a matter of degrees? If my posting makes me a "loser" or whatever you are implying, does that mean you are only slightly less of a "loser" because you have fewer posts? If that's the case, you are still a loser.

If that is what you think of people who post on here, then you should quit posting. Your attitude to those who do post here reflects the attitude you have toward yourself. You must think you are a loser, if you insist that I am one. The problem is, you are right in reference to yourself.

I've said it before. I do this for fun. It's obvious that you are here because you can find nowhere else that you can feel superior or good about yourself, so you come here and deride those who do post here. That's really sad, because this is a fun place. You can't have fun here, because it is so important to you to feel superior, or content, or whatever. And you can only do that by thinking you are a better person than others who post here. Guess what. You're not. Yup. Really sad.

You really are a pitiful, pathetic little man, Doove. It must really suck to be you.

Quite the liberal, that Chelsea.

It would be interesting to see if she runs for office. I have no idea what her policies would be.

But with the chosen one, you hear nothing on the major media.

Want to know where Obama's 13 year-old daughter went with 12 friends? On "spring break" in Oaxaca Mexico , on your dime. She took two jets, 12 friends and 25 secret service men. A thirteen year-old?
Why haven't you heard about it?
The Obama Administration has had the Secret Service scouring the web ordering that any website mentioning this be taken down because letting the travel plans out could have endangered the president's daughter's security.

Nonsense, the "royal couple" just want to hide the way they are ripping off the U.S. taxpayer. Only a few Canadian Web-sites still have it up. (both below)
This trip cost more than most Americans make in their entire lifetimes

It, the point of the post, isn't about the kid. It is about the imperiousness of Obama and his disregard of the seemly and of the public's trust.

it was ok for Romney to have fundraisers all over europe and have the secret service and a government following go with him at taxpayers expense ... he didnt ask the public before he went either

Well said, UB9B6! LMAO @ Angel Knight! Just let the President's wife and children go places with no security! No terrorist would ever think of reading the society pages or watching FAUX "News" making political fun of those vacations to see where they are.

Here's the article you linked that goes into Laura Bush's vacations:

For 15 years, Laura Bush and four female friends have escaped together for a week every summer. They arrived at Mammoth Lakes on July 8, 2001 and a day later came to Tuolumne Meadows Lodge with an entourage of some 25 people, including Secret Service agents, a White House communications team, various aides and several park officials. The group took up about 15 of the 70 cabins at the site.

July 27, 2003 Laura Bush and all her friends arrived at Lake Crescent Lodge in Washington State for a week long vacation in the Olympic National Forest. "I have a group of friends that I grew up with in Midland, Texas, and we hike every summer at a national park," said Mrs. Bush. Yes, she and her friends arrived on Air Force II with lots of Secret Service Agents.

July 23, 2006 Denali National Park & Preserve in Alaska

First Lady Laura Bush arrived in the park by train on July 23rd for a one-week vacation at a private inholder lodge in the Kantishna area. Members of the park staff assisted Secret Service and White House personnel with communications, security and logistics. A small number of rangers from other parks in the region were detailed to Denali to maintain normal operations so that a portion of the parks law enforcement staff could be assigned full-time to augment and assist the Secret Service details. During the week. Mrs. Bush and a small group of friends enjoyed daily hiking excursions throughout the park. On Friday, July 28th, she and her companions traveled to park headquarters to tour the Murie Science and Learning Center, a collaborative venture by Denali, seven other national parks, and several park partners. She later attended a luncheon hosted at the center and greeted park staff and the regional director. [Submitted by Richard Moore, North District Ranger]
This is the second time in the last couple-three months that LaWa has taken advantage of a western national park for a little "getaway with close friends" whose number, names, relationships, and particularly gender is somehow never mentioned.

In June 2008, First Lady Laura Bush visited Mount Desert Island, Maine with a small group of friends for a brief vacation. She did not plan any public appearances before she arrived, but she was out in the public eye during her visit and met with Acadia National Park superintendent Sheridan Steele.

Laura Bush and her daughters, Barbara and Jenna, traveled to Africa in 2007, where they went on safari. Yet her trip was regarded as an "official" visit and included several public events.

Or, to be more accurate, i have 3000+ posts and you have nearly 12,000.

No, it means i'm a whole lot less of a loser than you. Over 3X less of a loser, to be exact. And that's just quantitatively. Qualitatively, i'm not even that close.

If that's the case, you are still a loser.

On the rare day where i have 20 or 25 posts, yeah, i feel like a bit of a loser. Just how many days are there where you have 20 or 25 posts?

You must think you are a loser, if you insist that I am one. The problem is, you are right in reference to yourself.

See above comment.

I've said it before. I do this for fun.

Uh huh. Don't we all.

It's obvious that you are here because you can find nowhere else that you can feel superior or good about yourself,

I have a job. You seem to, well, not. So...

so you come here and deride those who do post here.

I don't deride people who post here. I deride people who post stupid things here.

That's really sad, because this is a fun place. You can't have fun here, because it is so important to you to feel superior,

You really think my feeling superior isn't fun?

You really are a pitiful, pathetic little man, Doove. It must really suck to be you.

If i had any respect for you, that might actually hurt. But circumstances being what they are

Well said. While no President has been perfect, have we forgotten how the Obamas went on vacation to Martha's Vineyard and Mrs. O and the girls couldn't wait for Mr. O and took an earlier flight at extra costs to the taxpayers?

The much-maligned vacation became a PR nightmare, after it emerged this morning that he and his wife took separate government jets to Martha’s Vineyard just hours apart.
The extra transport to get the the First Lady to the island for only a few more hours of vacation time will have cost taxpayers thousands in additional expenses.
The costs related to Mrs Obama’s solo trip mainly include the flight on the specially designed military aircraft she took instead of Air Force One, as well as any extra staff and Secret Service that had to be enlisted to go with her.
She would also have had her own motorcade from the airport to her vacation residence.

You might have thought GW's twin daughters were "butt ugly" but I didn't! We do agree that their Dad (GW) was "the worst President of modern times."

[CuteOldGuy]

I think Jackie was referring to Carter as the worst President of all time. I think it is nearly a three way tie among Carter, GW Bush and Obama, but I think Carter is the best of that lot.

And why does it matter what Amy Carter looks like? That was unnecessary. Although I doubt she reads this board.

So, 15 or so years ago the internet/information age changes everything in how we're all able to obtain information......and in 12 of those years we've had the 2 worst Presidents in history?

You'll say it's coincidence. I'll say that 15 years ago, you got access to a sausage factory, and are dumb enough to believe that sausage only started being made that way when you got to see it.

And why does it matter what Amy Carter looks like? That was unnecessary. Although I doubt she reads this board.

Maybe Jackie was just having fun.
