Maui Fire

Katrina hits New Orleans. Bush flies over to see the damage and doesn't land on the ground to visit with people.
Media: Bush is racist. Bush will never recover from this politically.

Ohio train derailment: Bidon goes to beach house. Provides No comment
Hawaii fire: Biden goes to beach house. Provides No comment
Media: who cares?

Summarizing many people's perceptions of Bush's performance after Katrina, entertainer Kanye West said, "George Bush doesn't care about black people," who were disproportionately the victims of the hurricane. Bush later called this "one of the most disgusting moments of my presidency." Bush added: "He called me a racist. ... I resent it. It's not true."

But Katrina remains a blot on Bush's presidency even today.

You can google Bush doesn't care about black people and see a story about it from every news site in the US.

google Biden No Comment and nothing but a few right wing sites come up.

google Biden Hawaii fires and the articles are about Republicans hoping to turn it into an issue. #republicanspounce

it must be so nice to have the media on your side.

Speaking of going to the beach. Uncle Joey recently set an all-time presidential record. 

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-sets-all-time-presidential-record/ar-AA1eVvh6

As of August 7, 2023, President Joe Biden just took his 367th
day of vacation in just 2.5 years, which sets a record compared to any other president in recent history.

Biden has been on vacation for roughly 40% of his time in office. He is outpacing every single one of his modern predecessors.

    Congrats Joe!!!!

I feel like I should contribute to a topic that I initiated but the truth is I much prefer seeing what you guys have to say. Better to remain silent and be thought a fool...

Maybe if I stand between you and Del I can go unnoticed.

C'mon man!
Ice cream!!!!

Give the guy a break. When I am 80 I will want my ice cream too. It's not like he actually does anything when he is "working" - all of that is getting done in the background. I mean the dude shits himself on a regular basis. He can't be expect to actually work ya know. So give him his ice cream.

Talking of dog turds....
3 years ago....
Gas was 2$ a gallon
Eggs were 1$ a dozen
Mortgaage rates were 3%
Inflation was <1%
Lots of employment
No world war

What happened @SmiTroll?
Being the guru, please explain....

We also had a guy in office who didn't understand the concept of "if you don't have anything nice to say..."

I'm not saying he did a bad job running the country and helping the economy.

However, IMHO I think the president should know when to keep his mouth shut.
