There was an article on ESPN yesterday about President Obama receiving a golf lesson from Tiger Woods' former swing coach. The comments section was flooded with people attacking him for being too lazy and never working. (I personally think it's their racism showing). When intelligent people corrected them and told them he's spent about a fourth of the percentage of vacation time as Bush, they were called liars. The conservatives claim Bush "worked" during his vacation.

Bush Drugs

Kitty Kelley is under fierce attack from Karl Rove via NBC's Today Show for claiming Sharon Bush told her W used cocaine at Camp David while Poppy was Pres. But despite Sharon's denial, Kitty isn't giving an inch. "The following are undisputable facts: -- Mrs. Bush confirmed that she was aware of cocaine use by George W. Bush at Camp David when his father was President -- Mrs. Bush confirmed that such usage occurred on more than one occasion -- Mrs. Bush knew that Ms. Kelley planned on using this information in her book and was read the exact quotes that would be utilized -- Mrs. Bush continued to have a good relationship with Kitty Kelley -- long after the meeting in April at which she confirmed the cocaine report -- Mrs. Bush called Ms. Kelley in May, 2004 after which there was a friendly correspondence. "
