Why do right wingers hate it when Obama goes on vacation?

[MagnumUK]

This is the sort of crap I see all the time from right wingers whenever Obama goes on a vacation:

"How about that Obozo! The Unfuuny Clown pissin' away more public monies. This bum makes the old "drunken sailor" analogy comment passe and out of touch with demonRATic reality."

wtf shouldn't the president take time out every now and then? It's a tough job.

2. Why do Right Wingers hate it when Obama does________ (fill in the blank)

They just hate.

[jberryhill]

3. They hate it more when he works

It doesn't matter what he does.

[Anansi1171]

4. Right wing Americans generally despise blacks. nt

[Brigid]

5. They always go nuts when he is seen smiling or laughing for any reason,

Vacation or not. That's just the way they are.

[Orsino]

6. The haters hate anything he does or doesn't do. n/t

[eShirl]

7. They'd really hate if he vacationed as much as Bush junior did.

[karadax]

13. The President should swing around a chainsaw on a ranch

I heard that gives you right winger street cred. Oh and paint. They love to paint.

[okaawhatever]

8. Because one of the dog whistle racist things is that black people are lazy. Complaining about

Obama being on vacation is reinforcing their racist stereotype. Since George W had taken over 300 vacation more vacation days at this point in his Presidency, clearly it's not based on fact.
You should have seen all the negative press about his trip to Africa. It was practically criminal.

9. Bush was on permanent vacation.

It’s an old tradition in American politics -- taking potshots at the president for his vacation choices.

As the Obamas took off for Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, critics attacked their vacation as too lavish. But one of the Obamas’ defenders was the Rev. Al Sharpton, who hosts a show on MSNBC.

Sharpton said Obama "has taken 92 days of vacation since he was sworn in. How many did President (George W.) Bush take by the same point in his presidency? Three hundred and sixty seven. Yes, more than a full year of vacation."

Was Sharpton right? Our fact-check looked at data compiled by CBS News reporter Mark Knoller, the acknowledged authority on how presidents spend their days in office. We also noted different patterns in how Bush and Obama vactioned. We rated Sharpton’s statement Mostly True.

10. It's incredibly hypocritical, considering how many vacations the last President took

But what are you going to do - once you have determined that someone is a jerk, everything they do can be construed as to further evidence that they are a jerk.

11. It's instinctual. They're used to the last president who went on vacation and bad things happened.

On vacation:



Also, on vacation:

[KurtNYC]

12. It is Goldilocks syndrome -- to them Obama is paradoxically both "a dictator" and "too weak"

Obama "does too much" and "goes on vacation too often."

But if he had blonde hair and an R after his name it would all be "just right."

[uppityperson]

15. perfect, succinct, excellent, +1

[nyquil_man]

14. Remove the question mark and the phrases "why do," "it when," and "goes on vacation,"

and you will have answered your own question.

[Drew Richards]

16. Because even when he is on vacation he gets more done than Republicans...and they hate him for it...

[MagnumUK]

17. I can't believe the hypocrisy of the Right

the particular wingnut who started the thread I refer to is a hard core Obama hater. He calls him Obozo and refers to Democrats as DemonRATS. Even had the nerve to compare DU to a 'cesspool'. But of course if you try to link their hatred of Obama to his race, they call you racist for going on about his skin colour.

[JI7]

19. they think he should be shining their shoes

[Brigid]

33. And we have our thread winner.

It's literally true.

20. Better question: Why do RW'ers hate it when Obama __________? NT

[Johonny]

21. because they did read our complaints about Bush and they now apply them to Obama

The RW applies the left's Bush criticisms an projects them on Obama and has so for a long time. This creates the illusion of symmetry between political parties in some voter's minds. They don't care that Obama takes vacations but they know many voter's worried about W's frequent absences so they hammer on Obama every time he takes one. From the deficit to the NSA they've been applying this tactic since day 1 of Obama's presidency.

[mylye2222]

22. No matter what Obama does, they HATE because they hate everyone who is not a member of their Klan.

[GoCubsGo]

24. Exactly right.

He doesn't have an "R" after his name. The fact that he's black just compounds the hate. It's the same reason they hate the federal government only when a Democrat is president, but have no problem sucking off the government teat when one of theirs is running things.

23. They didn't seem to mind when W spent over 30% of his time in office at that stupid ranch.

[Mariana]

28. Why are people so fucking gullible?

It was so obvious that stupid ranch was nothing but a prop to convince the rural folks that he was one of them. And then, the split second he left office, he sold the place and moved into the city.

[mylye2222]

31. This was not a ranch!!!! This was an SUV depot!

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

29. don't visit those sites

they are not going to offer any real cogent ideas anyhow. They exist only to bash a) Obama b) The Democratic Party c) Democrats in general............. Welcome to DU!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

30. Only lazy black people go on vacation? Or some shit like that. nt

[Sunlei]

32. republicans don't want the morons, who make up 90% of their votes, to notice how good Pres. O, is!

It's the old razzle dazzle, DOG WHISTLE- the little republicans routine. Or as the Big republicans called their OWN base voters-squidges and hobbits.

[SummerSnow]

34. They even hate it when he takes a poopie
