As opposed to the last president, who took more vacation days than any other president in the history of the United States?

Okay

Not that they aren't important. I realize that pirating is technically "unfair" for those with copyrights on the material and that I'm a douche, I just think it isn't even worth thinking about with the oil spill and economy and such.


1. i'm pretty sure the president can multi-task and has plenty of things he deals with everyday.

2. the economy doesn't effect the movie / music biz?

3. unfortunately this is probably about 15 years too late. the higher ups sat back and watched this happen not doing anything about it for years thinking it would go away.

I don't get in to politics by any means, but I haven't seen much evidence to support this statement.

Some people are too stupid to recognize that these guys delegate responsibility to others in their administration.

Unless they think Jindal spends all day, every day focused on the I-49 improvements he recently pledged. Shouldn't he be focused on the oil spill instead?

Why does everything default back to Bush? It's not like we think he was the shining example of a President that the opposition is wetting themselves in anticapation for.

Not according to my US Weekly magazines. The amount of money Hollywood people have and spend on completely frivolous crap is outrageous and none of them are close to being financially strained.

i know what you mean, but these people think everything else should stand still because of the oil in the gulf?

i'm in support of the oil industry and i certainly don't like obama before anyone tries to say that.

i just don't see why people think it's justified to steal music / movies / software. i'm not saying i blame anyone for doing it, but anyone who says its not wrong is just ignorant. as i said before this is about 15 years too late.

i'm not talking about the movie stars and production companies. there are many more middle men, etc involved than that, especially in music.

Thank you. Heaven forbid an entire branch of the US Government can't focus on more than 2 things at a time.

How did George Bush ever manage?...

Because an administration enforcing the law is the same thing as Halliburton being awarded no-bid contracts.

Gotcha.

i'm pretty shocked by the thread, i thought ppl would be bitching they won't be able to get free music / movies. instead they just bashed obama.
