Guess they've decided they've made enough money.

President Obama's competitive, boastful nature and condescending advice rubs even loyal Democrats the wrong way, a new profile alleges.
The New York Times' Jodi Kantor airs complaints from "loyal" Obama associates -- not as a buried lede but explicitly in her introduction:
He has mentioned more than once in recent weeks that he cooks “a really mean chili.” He has impressive musical pitch, he told an Iowa audience. He is “a surprisingly good pool player,” he informed an interviewer — not to mention (though he does) a doodler of unusual skill.
The article reports Obama's associates characterize this bluster and political zeal as "cockiness." Further, Washington Democrats say he is all too eager to offer unsolicited advice -- on handshakes, writing, and parenting, among other topics.
For those activities at which he feels inadequate, Obama reportedly dedicates considerable time to practice, no matter how trivial the pastime:
He has played golf 104 times since becoming president, according to Mark Knoller of CBS News, who monitors his outings, and he asks superior players for tips that have helped lower his scores. He decompresses with card games on Air Force One, but players who do not concentrate risk a reprimand (“You’re not playing, you’re just gambling,” he once told Arun Chaudhary, his former videographer).
His idea of birthday relaxation is competing in an Olympic-style athletic tournament with friends, keeping close score. The 2009 version ended with a bowling event. Guess who won, despite his history of embarrassingly low scores? The president, it turned out, had been practicing in the White House alley.

9/11 didn’t help the balance sheet for President Bush.
Guess they've decided they've made enough money.
How is it possible someone could make enough money?
Considering that Kerry or Gore wouldn’t done nothing, except for whining about happened, doing nothing, asking to be friends and why they did what they did, I think Bush did the right decision.
I meant to type “would’ve.”
I haven’t had much sleep the last couple of days.
That poster gets first prize for apostrophe abuse.
He has a c**k?
It was an off TOTUS comment that didn't get much media. That's why you didn't know of it.
Of course, anyone in their right mind never makes enough money. We may settle for it, but always enjoy more of it.
WOW! Excellent!
Conveniently, Paul Ryan is not one of his policy directors.
I was struck by them. The kids were very young in a lot of them, I don’t think he had run for office yet. They really did look like “home” movies, not photo ops.
Here it is - the videos start after the Olympics stuff.
I think this was the most important part of the convention.
