"20 hours?!?"

Our kids have spent that much time "pondering" it!

Bizarro world.

That’s what I thought too, Kristinn - 20 hours is NOTHING compared to the time he’s dedicated to golf!

And has been mentioned constantly, it took him forever to pick out a dog!

Gibbs: Obama Has Spent "Close to 20 Direct Hours" on Afghan War,

Wonder how long he would last as the CEO of a Fortune 500 company using these "management" skills and busting their budgets?

Waiting on administration input, lawmakers delay vote on biosecurity bill

Snippets:

The Homeland Security and Government Affairs put off for at least a week the mark-up of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Prevention and Preparedness Act of 2009 to allow the Obama administration additional time to comment on the bill, said panel Chairman Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.).

Collins estimated the bill would affect some 400 U.S. research facilities and the nearly 15,000 individuals authorized to handle deadly pathogens.

Committee member Carl Levin (D-Mich.) said yesterday it would be a "mistake" to take up the bill because several agencies -- including the Homeland Security and Defense departments and the National Security Council -- had not weighed in on the proposals.

"The bill is moving very quickly even though the issue [of laboratory security] has been around a long time," he said, adding the bill was introduced just last month.

"We need help over here. There aren't enough troops."

Beyond horrible. God bless Spc. Stanker and his family.

is the little trip to Dover included in these 22 hours?

You do realize you're being very generous? After rereading it says close to...I'm guessing it was about 16 to 19. Rounding is a wonderful thing. I hate when I'm petty.

Remember the Taxi Episode where Jim accidentally burnt down the Apartment where Danny Devito’s character lived.

Jim's Dad, a rich lawyer, said he would pay for the damages.

Jim is on the phone with his Father, and he asks Devito how much his stuff was worth. Devito walks back and forth, thinking up numbers and saying to himself, no that's too much and no that's not enough. He's getting real agitated the more he thinks about it.

When pressed by Jim, Devito comes up with a number around 20 grand. Jim tells his Father and hangs up. When Devito asks him what his Father said, Jim says his Father was relieved, because he thought Devito would ask for $100,000.
Then Devito collapses. It was very funny.

I can imagine Gibbs and Obama doing the same thing when they came up with the 22 hours. 50 hours? No, too much. 15 hours? No, not enough. 22 hours? Sounds believable.

That’s probably a low estimate, only about 4 min. per crapper visit? And the Secret Service is forced to watch every second. Obozo probably had them bronze his first WH movement, and sent it to Chrissie Matthews.

WOW. Thank you, kristinn, for threads like this.

Your efforts are so very appreciated. If most Americans heard this sh*t, they’d be FURIOUS.

Let’s put in perspective. It is not 20 hours in two months, it is 20 hours in nine months. Or about 1.25% of his time as president.

Ah, but since he was warned we are in danger of LOSING THE WAR (the one he said during the campaign was so important) without sufficient additional troops, he's really bumped it up in priority.

I mean, he's spent like FIVE PERCENT of his time over the past two months on this crucial issue.

Of course, that's assuming he works 40 hours a week. If it's only 20 hours a week that Obama actually works, then it would be an even higher percent of his time.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Save in which way? To your hard drive? To a flash drive?

Whenever I'm looking for a particular video, I just type in some basic keywords into the search box and then hunt.

I think his commitment, particularly after going to a place like Dover, is to understand the full cost of the war.

The full cost will include his Presidency because he is failing. He is failing at the most critical job requirement that he was elected to do. He is failing to lead. Every day he delays in making the critical leadership decision adds immensely to the cost of this war.

Obame is proving to be a loser rather than a leader.
