HOLY CARP!!!

It's Thursday, and it's only 4 pm in my time zone. Why an "happy hour" now? There is much to celebrate -- 1. Prop. 8 ruled unconstitutional, happy day for every one who cherishes equality under the law 2. US Senate passed the $26.1B jobs, Medicaid, and state aid bill -- 290,000 jobs saved 3. "Static kill" stopped the BP oil leak in the gulf for good; nature and clean-up effort took care of 75%+ of leaked oil. Heck of a job, 4. The US Senate confirmed Elena Kagan as a US Supreme Court justice. So, drink up, and feel free to add to the list!

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

I see it's BYOK. And here I was going to bring you a pitcher. On the other hand, perhaps you've had too much already.

LD, you're just not getting the spirit of 'Happy Hour'. |

Does M&M share your notion of "happy hour" in this instance?

Well Mr. Obama did do a swell job cleaning up 75% of the oil. I'm pretty sure that Mr. Bush couldn't have done that, and Ms. Palin certainly couldn't, we are lucky to have him. |

My God, if he keeps this up he's going to vacation almost as much as Bush II and Reagan! (Not that I'm complaining - when Reagan took a nap, we all relaxed, since the threat of him accidentally hitting the wrong big red button receded somewhat) |

That's funny. I seem to recall Bush cutting his vacation short for Katrina clean up. |

He could probably afford to based on how many he took... http://www.factcheck.org/2010/01/president-obamas-vacation-days/ (Personally, I think that Presidents taking good long vacations is a good idea. Only a moron wants to work 52 weeks a year, and vacations help clear the mind) |

Yeah, because Obama's 10+ foreign trips abroad doesn't count. So Bush's multiple trips to Crawford and Camp David, where he was completely surrounded by his advisors and had immediate access to the same personnel and information that he would have at The White House, is much worse than the over two work weeks worth of time Obama has spent on the links with only a cell phone. Actually that's not completely fair, as that time only takes into account the actual time O spent on the course, and doesn't include travel and prep time. |

I think you might be showing just the teensiest hint of bias. I'm no fan of Obama any more than I was of Bush, but accusing either of them of laziness is completely missing the point. And speaking from my own experience, foreign trips as part of a job have about as much with being on holiday as McDonalds has with a NY striploin. |

From what I've read, mother nature didn't take any vacations and has thus far done a much better job on the oil spill that Mr. Obama. I think she's running on the Libertarian ticket next election. |
