Dirty Diapers Vitter questions Obama going on "vacation"
I don't think President Obama should leave Louisiana to go on vacation until this failed federal response is clearly turned around."

Vitter was referring to the president's plan to visit Chicago with his family over Memorial Day weekend.

Oh good lord, where the hell was your guy Bush while your state drowned?????????

And compared to spent 1/3 of his presidency on vacation Bush, Obama looks like a workaholic!

1. And I question why he's still in office
Anyone with dignity would have resigned about having their laundry aired out.

2. That's rather petty
It does not sound like a "vacation."

3. That's a huge wingnut talking point right now
They're all saying Obama is abandoning a ceremony at Arlington Cemetery to go on vacation. I'm amazed at how this nonsense appears in every wingnut venue all at once. They have an efficient propaganda delivery system, I'll say that much for them.

How the hell is it a vacation?

4. Given how Louisiana voted in 2008, he should be grateful they are getting any help at all

5. And the fact they don't want the federal government's help
Wasn't that a state that was going to turn down the stimulus?

6. This is why they have a governor. Let him handle some of this. A
three-day weekend to visit family and friends is not a vacation in my book.

9. You're right, Vitter. Instead, Obama should have cake with McCain, like dimson did.

10. And where exactly was *ush when we were watching Katrina, AND
it's aftermath?

I KNEW this f*cking meme would happen -- has anyone bothered to see what the president is going to do when he goes to Chicago? Has ANYONE bothered to tell Vitter?

http://www.mysuncoast.com/Global/story.asp?S=12562643

On Monday, President Barack Obama and his family will participate in a Memorial Day ceremony at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood Illinois.

But you know these f*ckers will make an issue of that as well.

11. And not for nothing -- but regarding Memorial day --
These are the same people who bitch and moan about washington insiders- he will be participating in full Military Honors for the day.

OUTSIDE of Washington. This is a NEW military cemetery if I understand -- something he helped to establish because there WAS NONE in that area for our veterans.

So I would like for David Vitter to tell me -- Why does he think that Arlington Vets are more important than those laid to rest elsewhere?
