More hypocrisy!

How is making statements from the golf course in a different taste than making them from anywhere. I've heard many people claim that they do more business at the golf course than anywhere else.

Of course, you still haven't responded to the hypocrisy of the biased media.

whats to respond? Biased media on both sides, you haven't made any kind of point.

You are joking in thinking that for some reason, Bush on his ranch is more connected with the job than Obama at resorts? give me a break Larry, stop being ridiculous.

Neither one of them is even remotely "in touch by limited means" wherever they go. Anywhere any president goes they are completely connected, don't buy into some asinine nonsense that Obama could be less connected by being on Martha's Vinyard, vs Bush at his ranch.

Thats just downright stupid. The age of a President getting completely away was gone with the Telegraph.

Okay, I must have missed all the meetings that B.O. had at Martha's vineyards with Putin and others. My mistake.

dont be purposely obtuse Larry. You know very well that no president is away from the action, wherever he goes, and whatever party.

Do you even know where Martha's Vineyard is? Clearly not, we aren't talking some remote island here. Cut down on the nonsense.

Hell, he could DRIVE back to DC in less than 10 hours. Probably a 1-2 hour flight, if that.

Is it media bias when the story comes from a CBS correspondent? The guy keeps track of presidential trivia.

He's going to DRIVE from Martha's vineyard and you say that I don't know where Martha's vineyard is located? What sort of a vehicle will he drive from there to the mainland?

Now it's time for YOU to get away from nonsense! Do you REALLY think that they cannot have more facilities in a fixed location like GW's ranch, than they can have in a location that has to be set up temporarilty. Now WHO is being naive here?

BTW, I've been to over 40 states, to most places in North America and all over Western Europe. How many places have you been? Do you even know where in Texas GW's ranch is?

Its called a car ferry genius.

Marthas vineyard is a ferry ride from the mainland, and my 10 hour estimate INCLUDES ferry time. Take off the blinders and verify on google maps.

Next you will tell us that "Camp David" doesn't have appropriate facilities for connectivity, and ill ask you to stop being an absolute fool, if its possible.

As ive said repeatedly, NO president of ANY party is more or less out of touch at ANY time.

In a long line of idiotic and endless silly posts on OD, claiming that Obama would be "out of touch" on marthas vineyard is up there, especially compared to whatever you believe goes on at the Bush ranch. Im betting identical connectivity, both are temporary locations. Marthas Vineyard has been a vacation spot of presidents forever, its probably the same house rented by Kennedy at some point.

I find your perplexing incapability to understand this point silly. This whole argument is ridiculous. And yes, ive been to all 50 states, and im 30 years younger to you.

Never been through Crawford texas though.

And I find YOUR incapability to understand what I wrote to be quite perplexing!

I did NOT say that the communication was compromised in temporary locations. I talked about the Ranch providing a vacation spot where VISITORS, to make it clear for YOU, that means LIVE PEOPLE AS GUESTS, such as Putin and different meetings that were held at the Ranch.

Get the wax out of your ears and the crust out of your eyes!

Reading comprehension again Larry. Time to work on that.

ok.

So a mansion on martha's Vineyard is now NOT a vacation spot where visitors can come and be guests? For petes sake, listen to yourself.

My point is that they are the same, and I can't believe we're arguing about this. Its idiotic at best, but I can't stop being drawn into the Larrygument.

Okay, so do you have a guest list for Martha's vineyard? I though not!

Please describe the portion that is a rant. Even if it WERE a rant, there was nothing AGAINST the President. There was implied criticism of Axelrod and the press, but please point out any criticism of the President that is in the post.

Have a great day!

There was a day when the OP had a responsibility to post a thread whereby he was interested in actual discussion of a topic. If the OP took a biased position, the determination was immediate that trolling and/or ranting was present and the troll got an infraction for the post.

This is a perfect example of trolling and/or ranting. You have no interest in any discussion on the topic and simply wish to bash the President. Although that goes on all the time in various posts, the OP has (or should have) a greater responsibility to post a thread that he is interested in discussing.

You have no interest in any discussion because your mind is welded shut. Therefore, you're no more than a troll. Everyone on the forum knows you are a troll.

Unfortunately, with the new moderation, they now allow you to continue with your trolling without any limitations. It demeans the forum and the result will be less participation from those with some real intelligence who actually wish to discuss a topic and not listen to the rants of a troll.

I suspect that you are a bad golfer Brian... Am I correct?

Good summation as always Brian. It is getting kind of tiresome. My opinion is that if ALL someone wants to do is talk about polical stuff then they need to find an all political forum. I never have looked but I'm sure they are out there
