The recent tu quoque of conservatives apoplectic about Obama on the golf course [I call it a tu quoque because of how the left constantly complained about Bush’s vacations at the ranch] brought about this exchange between @superbus (a libertarian video games writer from CT) and myself:

@superbus:

Hey GOP: By your logic, if the country was doing well enough for Obama to golf, you’d have no chance at election in ’12. Pick your poison.

Me [@warbiany]:

@superbus Yep. It’s tough to play the “Nero fiddled while Rome burned” card, when you consider Nero’s stated policies to be gasoline.

Given that nobody on the right thinks Obama’s doing the right thing, why would they want him doing anything at all of consequence?
