Gravitymaster 0 #7 April 12, 2012 As usual, you are mkscharacterizing the criticism of Obama. He hasn't been criticized for playing Golf, only that his timing is pretty bad. Like when budget negotiations are being held, he decides to leave town to play Golf and let the politicians hash it out instead of staying and providing some leadership. When Romney is elected and he takes off and rides horses when he should be in DC showing leadership, then criticism of him would be in order. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just trying to figure out how much neat stuff one is allowed to work for and own, before it reaches a level where it's considered evil. Apparently antique cars and airplanes are okay, but race horses are over the top. So the dividing line between good and evil personal property ownership is somewhere between those things.

Did Boehner take off at a time when his leadership was needed? The criticism isn't about taking time off. It's about WHEN they decide to take off. Let me repeat that for you.

Let me repeat that for you. It's about WHEN they decide to take off. Please let me know if I need to be clearer. since I haven't seen leadership from either party in 2 years, the answer is yes. If you want to be a strict constitutionalist, the President shouldn't be part of it anyway. His role is to approve or veto what Congress decides. His participation should be direct with the Democratic leadership in the House where spending originates. If you prefer the modern Imperial Presidency model, then he can send orders to Congress just as well from the links as he can from the White House.
