YAPI – Yet Another Phony ‘Issue’
By Wink
The GOP talking-points machine is always well-oiled. Every Republican gets a regular memo, and dutifully spits out the same sh**, to magnify the ‘seriousness’ of some alleged problem.
I call these YAPI – Yet Another Phony Issue.
And what is today’s YAPI, you may ask? Vacation. Too much vacation.
Barack Obama has been in office for 31 months. He has taken 61 vacation days. This equals 23.6 vacation days per year, and is more than Bill Clinton took in the same amount of time in office. Yep, more than Bill Clinton.
Maybe this is why Sarah Palin (among others) has decided to make an issue out of it. Anybody who is worse than Bill Clinton must be a pretty awful president.
Hey, the economy is in bad shape, and people are out of work. There is no way Obama should be taking vacation now…
I am sure when she ‘writes’ her next book she will also rip into …
- Ronald Reagan, who took 112 vacation days in his first 31 months (43.4 per year).
- George W. Bush, who took 180 vacation days in his first 31 months (69.7 per year).
“W” took 10 weeks of vacation per year! His term should be called the ‘Vacant Presidency.’
It was okay that he was gone so frequently though, because there were no pressing issues during W’s first 31 months, if you leave out that ‘9-11’ thing,
And Sarah has plenty of room to criticize others for their lack of dedication, since she resigned as governor of Alaska after two years of a four-year term.

YAPI ‘issue’ number two, now flying back and forth around the conserve-o-sphere: The Bus!
President Obama is now travelling around the country in a $1 million bus.
Two important details about the bus:
- President Obama did not order the bus, the U.S. Secret Service did. They are very happy with the level of security it provides.
- There are actually two buses. The other bus is for the Republican presidential candidate, whenever that issue is settled. I am sure the GOP candidate will decline the use of this extravagant waste of taxpayer money.

This is all just more YAPI from Rush & Fox and all the others. Remember ‘Michele Obama is trying to indoctrinate our kids’ by suggesting they grow and eat more vegetables!! Horrors!
Keep flinging it GOP. Your poll-testers have shown you that this junk will chip-chip-chip away at the credibility of anyone you wish to destroy.
You care not whether the issue is true or relevant.
