Flashback: Axelrod called Bush ‘out of touch’ for playing golf in bad economy

Daily Caller "Video from 1994 has surfaced of David Axelrod, President Obama’s chief campaign strategist, calling former President George H.W. Bush “out of touch” for “tastelessly” playing golf while trying to convince voters that the economy is improving.

“Bush tastelessly did it, often from the ninth hole, and from the cigar boat and other places,” Axelrod said.

"Added the adviser: “The impression you got was that he was out of touch.” "

Obama Plays Golf for the 100th Time of his Presidency  "Obama’s golfing takes about five hours, including the motorcades back and forth from the fairways. If one thinks of this as taking up  much of the day – include getting ready to go and cooling off afterward – its fair to say that Obama has spent more than three months of his presidency golfing."


Thomas Lifson: Nation marks a grim milestone   "There is nothing at all wrong with golf, but it is an expensive and very time-consuming recreation. George W. Bush stopped playing it while in office out of respect for the sacrifices of our military. No such consideration seems to exist for President Obama."  (And the left ridiculed President Bush for it.)

"At least he is not suspending enforcement of any laws while on the links.

Happy Father's Day

This ain't Hell, but you can see it from here: Life of Duty: Fathers’ Day; "Joseph Collins – a man of unyielding courage and strength – has proudly served his country in more ways than one. Today, Joseph is playing perhaps the most important role of his life, the role of being a father. In this video, Joseph expounds upon the love he has for his son, as well as the influence his own father had on his life and career."


"Better Dad" by Kerby Anderson "You probably wouldn’t expect a United States ambassador to write a book about being a better dad. But in this case, Ambassador Gregory Slayton was an ideal person to write his book, Be a Better Dad Today."  Kerby links to this site: Fellowship of Fathers


'What Have I Done?' A Father's Remorse  "But to some fathers, the day is spent in anguish. It’s a day spent, not with their children, but with their memories of the children they helped abort.

"Among these men are former Aerosmith rock star Steven Tyler, now a judge on “American Idol.”  When Tyler was in his twenties, he and his 16-year-old girlfriend, Julia Holcomb, learned they were having a baby."....

From Breakpoint:  'Courageous': A Higher Standard for Films and Fathers  "At this, the turning point of the film, Mitchell offers his fellow officers and fathers an opportunity to leave behind adequacy for excellence. He presents what he calls “The Resolution,” a commitment to become a father who lives by twelve biblical standards and holds others accountable to them. Hayes doesn’t hesitate to sign on, and together with Mitchell, inspires his two fellows with an eagerness to be the hero at home each of them has always been on the job."

Alan Caruba: Deliberately Destroying America

Warning Signs















"It has taken three and a half years into Barack Obama’s presidency for most Americans to realize that he has been deliberately destroying America by driving up the nation’s debt and deficit, reducing privately held wealth, forcing millions onto the public dole, undermining its moral structure, and weakening the nation’s reputation internationally.. 
"His latest lie is that “the private sector is doing just fine”, but the numbers tell the whole story and one can find them on an excellent blog, Economic Collapse, that offers seventy examples:"....


"We are now five months from an election to remove Obama from power and electing conservative lawmakers to office. It’s a start in restoring America to its former prosperity." 


Yes, this administration must not be just voted out of office by a thin margin, but by a landslide so it will be clear that Obama's policies are absolutely rejected by this nation. 
Pray that the election is not a repeat of the 2000 Bush-Gore contest, because Obama's base is capable of -and willing- to use violence. The man must in no sense of the word to be a martyr and a rallying point, but to be retired ignominiously. 
Pray for a fair, clean election so Obama can go back to Chicago where he can spend his years blaming America's problems on his successor. TD
