Helpful Tip for Obamaniacs: Turn Off Google’s ‘Auto Complete’ Feature Before Searching For Info About Your Hero

By Doug Powers  •  August 14, 2010 01:35 PM

**Written by Doug Powers

By way of Moonbattery, it’s time once again for “Fun with Google’s ‘auto-complete’ feature.”

If you’re a fan of the president, you might want to just turn it off:

That really happens. Go try it yourself. I hear Chris Matthews uses it as his version of “thinking about baseball” when he wants to stave off a premature Obamagasm.

Google lets Joe Biden off a little lighter, but not much:

If you still count yourself among the rapidly diminishing number of Hope & Change Kool Aid drinkers, you might find the Rainbows, Gumdrops & Unicorns withdrawal somewhat uncomfortable — so here’s a little cyber Methadone to help quell the shakes and take you back to the good old days:

    The problem here is a joke should be funny. This guy is certainly warped, wierd, frightening, misguided, malevolent, maniacal, devious, dangerous, deranged, dopey, arrogant, egotistical and egg-headed – for a start – but he is not funny.

    how gear she was and all that rubbish.

    turn the sound down on her and say rude things.

    Hey, my Irish clan has been fighting the good fight up in this neck of the woods since the 1840s.

    Both my grandfathers were union men (NYPD and the NY Daily News) but they both vocally despised FDR for what he was doing to their Country.

    Only one adult in my family voted for JFK at the time, and she later admitted her mistake of falling for the whole “Camelot” thing.

    LMAO.

    As of July 17th, President Obama has spent all or part of 65 days on vacation. At this point in his tenure, George W. Bush had logged 120 days.

    Bush narrowly beats out Reagan: Bush had spent all or part of 879 days at his Crawford, Texas ranch or at Camp David, surpassing Reagan’s mark of 866.

    Wow. According to your statistics, Presidents Reagan and G.W. Bush spent 29% and 30% of their tenures on vacation? Don’t those percentages seem a little high to you?

    Also,

    As of July 17th, President Obama has spent all or part of 65 days on vacation. At this point in his tenure, George W. Bush had logged 120 days.

    And with these numbers, it would appear that Obama has been getting slammed for utilizing only 12% of his partial term for downtime, while G.W. Bush got away with using 22% as vacation time over the same period of time. Again, doesn’t G.W.’s numbers equating to nearly double Obama’s seem a bit of a statistical anomaly to you?

    I’m certainly not an expert on this matter, but I raise one question. Of the following days that you cite for Reagan (866 days) and for G.W. Bush, (879) how many of these were actual “vacation” days, comparable to Obama’s “65″ through July 17, 2010?

    I ask this because it is general knowledge that both Reagan and G.W. Bush had working offices on their ranches in California and in Texas respectively, even conducting visits from foreign leaders at these off-site locations.

    Please recheck your stats. It might actually end up being disingenuous to claim every day at these ranch locations as “vacation time” as it would be to tack on every golfing or basketball weekend, that Obama has taken so far, to his actual vacation time.

    Regarding the claims of George W. Bush taking tons of vacation … that is left wing, Bush Derangement Syndrome nonsense!

    Bush did much of his work from his home in Texas. He met with dignaries there, who stayed with him at his ranch, etc., but he DID NOT take tons of vacation as Bush haters and psychopaths claim.

    As a matter of consideration, wouldn’t you want Obama, Bush, Pelosi, Reid, Rangle, Schumer, et al to take LOTS of vacation so they aren’t busy screwing up the lives of US citizens with their busy body, “I must pass another Bill, limiting freedom, taxing people more, etc.” nonsense?

    Congress should be a part time job, with most of the time off, without pay. The Congressperson can earn money as a congressperson as their “side” job.

    The President should be around to make decisions, but he should stay out of people’s lives as much as possible.

    The Supreme Court should NOT be a life time appointment.

    Let’s see how things work then.

    But life time appointments need to stop.

    Not at all. It’s always interesting to find a new subject about which you consider yourself competent to comment and/or debate. We’re all the way up to Yanni, Wiggles (whatever that is – sounds like a kiddie TV show, which would be well within your intellectual capacity), “What I (well, you) Learned in First Year Law School”, and now, finally the importance of the letter “a” when inventing insults about our charming hostess.
