1. At my job, I get 40 hours a year |
|
sick time and vacation time combined. And I'm definitely not the so-called leader of the free world.
Maybe I need to apply for president.

2. This should be an ad in Ohio and Pa. and WI. |
|
Some people don't even have jobs, let alone a job with actual vaction days- usually 10 per year.

3. Faux had a hilarious rebuttal |
|
Which basically boiled down to, "Well, if you don't count all the time Lil George spent at Camp David, his time off is actually a lot less." Golly, but it was a scream!

4. Did the Clinton and Reagan numbers above include Camp David days? |
|
I can't believe a real issue like this sinks so fast here.

7. CBS was comparing the numbers to the figures released for Bush |
|
so one would guess but only CBS, who did the article, knows for sure.

6. But, haven't you heard, they were "working vacations"? |
|
I know most employees in this country don't get to do their work from the ninth hole or a fishing boat, and I seriously doubt any executives would even get away with that.
I've seen studies which show people get much more work done when they go into an office, which is one reason why telecommuting never took off.

11. He's got a lot of pals |
|
Seems as if this is the New American Work Ethic. The last few folks I worked for had small businesses. They never wanted to come into work, and bellyached about having to "be responsible" for their own livelihood. Then they expected me to run their businesses for them for $6.50 an hour. I made twice that ten years ago, working for people who showed up and gave a damn about their businesses.
Everybody wants to be freakin' Donald Trump.
Trickle Down Arrogance and Laziness?

12. The Pooch Pumper in Chief wants to keep his pud job! |
|
Hell, who could blame the Canine Intercourser for that? Porking the Pooch is an art form for GOPers anyway and always has been! Notice the close relationship with Barney! I tell you, that shit ain't natural, unless you are a card carrying GOPer NeoKKKon Shirker! I am putting filters on my puter so my pup don't have to look at that BUSHIT!

I thought it was more than that - and, hasn't he also spent over 400 days at fundraisers?
