No Goth you said he was using his position as President to be a tourist. Are you now just changing it to he traveled a lot in his first year?

I said nothing about Bush. I just corrected your assertions.

But your correction isn't correct.

Actually, it was, and your link proves it.

Here's your Arc, Goth:

He's using the position of POTUS to be a tourist.

When Challenged:

In Obama's first year, he traveled more than any other POTUS.

When challenged you linked a site (I am PROUD you learned to cite sources like that, BTW) that said, as Phyllis has twice pointed out, that he indeed took MORE Overseas trips than Bush (Not of ANY president, just the last one) but that Bush had traveled more when you include domestic (and especially) recreational travel.

None of which explains why you call him a tourist- In fact it sort of makes the case that Bush was a "tourist" but even I wouldn't say that.

So again, are you saying he made trips to Afghanistan and Iraq for pleasure? Is that the point you are trying to defend?

And Bush traveled with a personal masseuse who was paid over $1,000,000 a year. And he only ate Hummingbird Tongues and monkey ears, both of which had to be flown in fresh daily on a special jet.

You know, nothing will push the Dems to coalesce behind Obama than stupid and irrelevant attacks like this.

You want to help energize the Dems, give them a reason to fight someone other than Dems.

Do you guys think Goth really believes all the stupid stuff he types?

Who knows? Here's what I find baffling: there are countless threads, including this one, criticizing Obama. In fact, I can't remember the last time I saw anything actually laudatory.

So why would goth (or that tedious puppet who was obsessed with Joy Behar, oddly) post utter nonsense that's instantly proven to be just that--nonsense?

I guess it's that the things we criticize him for, such as his lack of action on gay rights--don't bother the goths of this world.

But at least pick something legit. As Joe points out, we could then actually discuss something relevant.

What's wrong with the president traveling to other countries anyway?

That was my question. Apparently 7 times is okay; 10 makes you a "tourist."
