Conservative Groups attack Obama's Vacation in TV Ad
Edited on Fri Aug-21-09 01:34 PM by HopeOverFear
Conservatives for Patient's Rights, a group founded earlier this year by former health insurance executive Rick Scott, says it will spend close to $150,000 next week to air a 30-second television spot in the Boston media market coinciding with Obama's vacation in the area.

Among the stations the group plans to air the ad on is NESN, the network that will broadcast the four-game series next week between Obama's Chicago White Sox and the Boston Red Sox. <...>

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs brushed aside the ad at Friday's daily briefing.

"I don't think the American people begrudge the president taking some time with his family that's well earned and well deserved for a few days to see and spend time with them," said Gibbs.

9. and don't forget ... The Republicans set the record for least number of days
in session in the 2005-2006 years ...

and then, they issued an attack ad on Obama for having spent so little time in the Senate ...

7. Most epic fail, indeed. Andrea Mitchell said Chimpy took 27 days at the ranch in his first Aug. on
the job. Must have been a big overgrowth of brush down there.

10. And during that vacation Bush ignored the August 6, 2001 PDB.
So what if bin Laden wanted to hijack airplanes and attack the United States? Bush couldn't worry about that. He was on vacation.
