House Votes to defund NPR - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

In a largely party-line vote, the Republican-led House of Representatives voted Thursday afternoon to prohibit federal funding for National Public Radio and prohibit public radio stations from using federal funds to pay dues to NPR and other public radio distributors or purchase their programming.

The vote was 228 to 192, with one member voting present. Every Democrat opposed the bill, along with seven Republicans.

I have never found NPR to be that bias. And certainly not to the extent of lets say MSNBC or Faux fair and balance opinion.

So its OK with you tht they cal an "Emergancy hearing" just to go after something as minor as NPR? I Don't think much of your priorities. Obama or any other POTUS can spend 20 minutes duing brakets on espn, that just show how Petty the hard right is. Obama playing golf on a vacation WTF.... That ***** might fly when your with your neo con buddies having a beer at the Student Prince but not with me. At one point "W' spent more time on vaction then he did in the Oval office.... Did you whine about that? I doubt it.

Obama has played more golf and gone on more vacations than Bush ever did. Please.

Foreign policy belongs to the executive branch.

Your getting as bad as 13 when it comes to making things up as you go along.

George W. Bush's vacation time (grand total)

487 days at Camp David
490 days at Crawford Ranch
43 days at Kennebunkport Compound

Total: 1020 days, more than 1/3rd of his presidency. Bush set the record for most vacation time taken by president.

Carter took 79 days in 4 years.
Clinton took 152 days in 8 years.

Reagan took 335 days in 8 years.
Bush Sr. took 543 days in 4 years!

So much for the mythological Republican hard worth ethic.

Crawford was not a vacation spot. It was his home. He worked from there. Same for Camp David. Or are you forgetting that is where the great Iraq conspiracy was cooked up after 9/11?

Bush also attended church at Camp David. Pretty irresponsible, right?

I don't know how old you are but it was awell know fact that w spent ridiculous amounts of time on vacation, its indisputable. As for the blog i could have chosen anyone they all say the same thing.

487 Days At Camp David For Bush - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

Yes, that's 487 days. And Camp David is not even where the president has spent the most time when not at the White House: Knoller reports that Mr. Bush has made 77 visits to his ranch in Crawford during his presidency, and spent all or part of 490 days there.

Bush Spent 487 Days At Camp David, 490 Days At Texas Ranch During

And enough with the spin about the "Shrub" working as POTUS at the "Ranch" what a joke.
