And yes, my criticism of this goes back to Bush and before and before...<br /><br />And it makes it even worse than the President is sticking the country with the bill for this purely partisan activity. <a href="http://www.9news.com/story/news/local/politics/2014/07/08/barack-obama-colorado-fundraising-visit-cost/12374279/" rel="nofollow">here</a> is one of countless news sources on this, and this shows him dishonestly tampering with the trip itinerary so he can screw the country even more with this trip.<br /><br />Yes, Bush did this too.

Except there are multiple sources who have made the same point.<br /><br /> I continue in the attempt to get to the truth. But must say it isn't looking too promising, especially when one looks at his golfing activities, fundraising fervor, as well as his reliance on Valerie Jarret, Axelrod, and Plouffe as his primary advisers.Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-67601706154789369332014-08-03T13:05:32.153-04:002014-08-03T13:05:32.153-04:00I'm surprised you fell for what was incorrectl...I'm surprised you fell for what was incorrectly reported. A friend of mine, Sheria Reid had this up on her blog, and it explains how Ms. Wasserman was taken out of context and how eagerly those on the right believed the dishonest reporting by Daily Caller:<br /><br />"Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz doesn't make any sort of admission about Obama's work ethic. She isn't even talking about Obama's work ethic. MSNBC interviewed Schultz about the Republican led effort to sue the President for abusing his power in the scope of and number of executive orders he has issued. Schultz made the following statement in defense of the President: “I’m going to go to the House floor and actually debate why we shouldn’t be voting for the first time in American history to sue the president of the United States for doing his job, and doing his job actually less often and at a rate that is lower than any other president since Grover Cleveland.” Cleveland is the last president to issue fewer executive orders than Obama.<br /><br />SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT EXECUTIVE ORDERS<br /><br />The Daily Caller has chosen to interpret Schultz' words as admitting that "President Obama does his job less often than any commander-in-chief since Grover Cleveland."<br /><br />Clearly Schultz is addressing the topic of the MSNBC interview--President Obama's use of executive orders and the GOP's decision to sue him for doing so. However, I just know that there is a whole slew of people with grits for brains who are gleefully sharing this story with friends and family of how President Obama is the most trifling, do-nothing President this country has ever had because even the DNC chair admitted it was so. I'm starting to think that there are some people who should not be allowed to participate in the free exchange of ideas that the Internet encourages." --Sheria ReidShaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-67666325079692917722014-07-31T22:57:02.359-04:002014-07-31T22:57:02.359-04:00Cleveland was one of the most principled and coura...Cleveland was one of the most principled and courageous Presidents in U.S. history and so I personally take grave exception to Ms. Wasserman Schultz's moronic analogy.Will "take no prisoners" Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02315659209094683602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-17762821111221386902014-07-31T19:51:11.229-04:002014-07-31T19:51:11.229-04:00When one points out the facts of this exceptionall...When one points out the facts of this exceptionally indolent and lazy man, who shows passion for few causes other than really nasty ones (like his attempt to abolish the secret ballot for union elections), his knee-jerk defenders invariably bring up Bush.<br /><br />Which has nothing to do with solving problems today.<br /><br />"Obama also spends a lot of time raising money for fellow Democrats."<br /><br />I have no doubt that this political activity is mostly funded by the taxpayers.<br /><br />Anyway, look at any poll of the problems facing the nation, and you will never find "not enough executive golf" and "a shortage of campaign funds" to be on the list. Very misplaced priorities.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.com
