Well, Jim, one of us is a well-known internet humorist. And the other is me.

I'm sure you're doing your best, but unless you can actually come up with something worthwhile here, I'm done.

Have a nice day.

My reply:

...um, yeah....

I can only work with what you give me.

Well, it's tough to argue with logic like that. Well said.

Jim Treacher-

When you quote the statement, "Obama doesn't lecture people, because those I don't like say he does," who exactly are you quoting.

Because what I said was it's a right-wing talking point and then I showed some right-wingers using it.

May you meant to quote yourself saying something like, It must be lecturing because people like say it's lecturing.

(Did you see what I did, there?)

I thought perhaps I'd clicked the wrong button or something, but apparently the Moderate Voice is moderating my voice. Interesting.

“Obama doesn't lecture people, because those I don't like say he does.” But that's not peevish!

JimTreacher--

In fact, President Bush did part of a State of the union address to speechify about Americans' addiction to foreign oil. Not that he did anything to slow it down, which maybe makes him a hypocrite about burning up some oil on all those vacations.

Also, Obama being a lecturer is one of the popular right-wing talking points, isn't it?

As for your "Oh noes, I just got called out by the only person on the Internet with a worse name than mine." comment, I'm guessing that's not anger, that's peevishness.

Okay, George: Bush should've interspersed his many vacations with finger-wagging lectures on sacrifice and saving the environment and so forth. Better?

Jim Treacher doesn't make much sense, but at least he knows the talking points.

Angry senseless hypocrisy indeed.

kathykattenburg doesn't make much sense, but at least she's angry.

So it's better for Obama to be a rank hypocrite than for Bush to take vacations without telling everybody else they shouldn't. Got it.

CStanley--

If the relative number of days in office invalidates my comparison, why doesn't it also invalidate Jazz's comparison?

Honestly, everyone knows George Bush took a lot of vacations, right? But when Obama takes a weekend off, that is to say a Saturday and Sunday off like people normally do, suddenly a bunch of so-called conservatives freak out about it.
