Is ';Obama travels and plays golf'; the new ';Bush clearing brush on vacation at his ranch';?

The conservatives on Y!A keep poking at Obama for traveling and playing golf. It reminds me of liberal jabs at Bush for vacationing at his ranch and clearing brush. Funny stuff, ain't it?Is ';Obama travels and plays golf'; the new ';Bush clearing brush on vacation at his ranch';?
The difference being that Obama was actually here doing things, going on sparse occasional golf trips, while Bush was literally gone, doing nothing, for an eight month period. Which is scary.Is ';Obama travels and plays golf'; the new ';Bush clearing brush on vacation at his ranch';?
The difference is Bush was here protecting America unlike 0bama who gets unarmed soldiers murdered on an army base and does nothing
@ Liberal AssKicker :





No, Bush was a weeder.





A lawn weeder.
Bush was a leader. Obama is lost.
Barry loves the camera and he is ready for his close-up Mr. DeMille.

  • Pregnant was on bedrest, cleared to normal activity...does this mean I can travel? (VERY IMPORTANT)?

    I was on bedrest from 16 weeks until 20 weeks due to a suspected abruption (old ultrasound equiptment)...went back at 20 weeks for a better ultrasound and for them to take measurements. And they looked and looked and there was no sign of an abruption or anything.





    So I have been cleared for normal activity.








    I'm going to ask my doctor about it at my next appointment. You see my stepmom wants to throw me a baby shower. (Atleast someone is interested in my baby) Problem is she is 8 hours away. It would most likely be over the Thanksgiving holiday and I need to let her know soon whether to plan it or not, but my next appointment isn't until the 30th of October (I believe). Is 3 weeks really going to be enough notice.





    Should I tell her to go ahead and plan it, would that be a safe bet?





    My doctor was thrilled everything was okay and told me I could go back to all normal activity (and traveling is very normal activity for me)





    I'm 21 weeks pregnant right now by the way.





    I could call my doctor and ask but she would probably want to see me if there is any question on whether or not I could travel. So it would still be the end of october before I had an answer.





    Should I tell her to go ahead and plan it?











    We would be driving by the way. We would be taking our dogs with us, that way they could get one last good trip before the baby comes. (Because it will be a while before they get to travel again). So we will definately be driving.








    I want my baby shower darn it!





    (now the people that are close to me in proximity don't seem to have any iniative to throw one, but my stepmother who is 8 hours away sure does)Pregnant was on bedrest, cleared to normal activity...does this mean I can travel? (VERY IMPORTANT)?
    If you're driving and not flying, I don't see the trouble since you've been given clearance from your doctor. Plan your route so you're making time for plenty of stops to get out and stretch (for you and your dogs).





    It would be wise to err on the side of caution and call your doctor. I don't think she will want to see you over this. If she does tell her you're planning to leave sooner than the appointment and as her to see you for this and keep your other appointment for the regular time.





    I, too, think traveling is normal and very much encouraged for the pregnant lady. Enjoy your travel time while you can. Soon enough, travel will mean loading up the car in a whole new way and your life won't be the same for ages! Go, girl, go!Pregnant was on bedrest, cleared to normal activity...does this mean I can travel? (VERY IMPORTANT)?
    CALL YOUR DOCTOR!! ONLY HE CAN ANSWER THAT FOR YOU!!
    if you want to know now just call your doctor and ask
    Unfortunately you need to get the advice of your doctor. Have you tried to call the office and ask for his nurse? If you haven't, only left message for doc then call back. Tell the front staff you would like to talk to the doctors nurse. Then explain your situation to the nurse.





    Whether you can travel or not for that length of period depends on your health and the babies health. If it was just 2 or 3 hours I would say it was fine but 8 is a lot. I only say this because I have a family member who was 6 months along with normal pregnancy and she went on a 10 hour trip; the outcome was horrible.





    Consider how many opportunities you will have to stop and walk a little; take at least 1 break each hour to get out and walk. Even doing this your ankles are still going to swell really bad. Make sure you have no problems with blood pressure before going. Make sure to plan at least one night of relaxing after getting there before the shower.





    The problem is it is not just an 8 hour trip. It's 8 to get there and 8 to get back. 16 total hours.
    I would say no. When I had my first son, I had an abruption with him. That is what put me on bedrest with him for two months. I also developed pre-e, and when they told me I could get off bedrest and ';resume normal activity'; - well my water broke within 5 days. Don't mean to scare you here, but I want you and your baby to be as healthy as possible for as long as possible.





    With this baby my dr even refused to let me travel at 12 weeks because she said i was pre-viable.





    I really wouldn't recommend it. Your family should come to you for your shower or wait until the baby is there. You need to take care of yourself and the baby!!!!





    add: they said my abruption was healed too. If you feel comfortable risking it, that's your choice, but I haven't gone anywhere because I am too nervous to be away if something were to happen, which I know is possible from my last pregnancy. Good luck
    You should be fine to travel. Just take breaks , if your driving so that you can walk around and strech your body some. Drink plenty of water from now, and until then.. and afterwards.


    You could probably call your doctor and ask what he/she thinks.


    Or even the nurse could probably answer for you.





    Usually, you can plan a baby shower in about 2 weeks, the only hard part about short notice, is the invitations.
    Yes it should be fine. Driving or riding in a car is not going to wear you our or be a lot of activity. If you need medical attention, there are going to be hospitals on the way there and back. I would go and get this lat trip before you are tied down for a little while. And yes you should get your shower! Good luck to ya and grats.

    My need to travel, but still have to be medically cleared. If cleared do you think it will be safe. (pregnant?

    (Couldn't get any answers in the pregnancy section)





    If cleared medically do you think it would be safe to travel?





    Would you do it?





    Or do you think it would be too risky?





    I'm currently on limited activity/bed rest. Not sure which I should be on because the ER doc said bed rest and my doc said limited activity so I am doing an in between mostly bed rest just to play it safe.





    In 2 weeks I have a doctors appointment for a better ultrasound. I am feeling great by the way. No pain no nothing. So if indeed there is nothing wrong with me like my doc thinks and I am cleared to return to normal activity do you think it would be a good idea to travel.





    I'm only asking because I feel like I need to get out to my sister. I posted a question about her and how she is having some problems.


    Here is a link to that question:





    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>


    Anyways The got the ultrasound results back, all they would tell her mom is that they felt the image wasn't a clear indicator of whats going on and they are sending her to a Obgyn specialist. And that is actually in 2 weeks.





    If something is wrong or she needs surgery or anything I would like to be able to be there for her. We have a very weird feeling about this. Hopefully everything checks out.





    In your opinion if I am cleared would it be too risky to travel? Would you do it? Its an 8 hour car ride or a 1 hour plane trip, depending on what the doc says I can do.





    I will be 20 weeks at the next ultrasound.... and if they clear me and something is up with my sis I really feel I should be there for her....she is only 15.





    I'm scared for her.My need to travel, but still have to be medically cleared. If cleared do you think it will be safe. (pregnant?
    I'm a high risk pregnancy [suffered 2 miscarriages in the past and am at high risk of miscarrying/preterm labor this time] I have been on and off bed rest too many times to count. Right now after my 20 week ultrasound last week I was released from bed rest but not allowed to go back to work. I do normal activities, and to be honest I still did occasional things when I needed to I just took everything lighter and took more breaks when running errands.





    I think if you really want to be there for your sister you should go. I would chose the airplane so you don't have the stress of driving and having to break every hour to pee LOL. Plus if anything goes wrong, you could always go to a nearby hospital and get checked out.My need to travel, but still have to be medically cleared. If cleared do you think it will be safe. (pregnant?
    You would be better off staying at home and taking it easy. Your sister does have her mother there to look out for her and they can keep in touch with you by phone.

    Travelling to Canada, can someone help me with some questions about clearing customs?

    This is my first time flying, and well im flying alone. I know i have to clear customs at the airport im arriving at, but i havent found any information on what exactly Im going to have to fill out, and where i get this customs form at, do they give it to me on my flight? at the airport? Is the form complicated? I wont be bringing in any drugs or food or plants lol so im not sure what i'd have to declare on it eitherTravelling to Canada, can someone help me with some questions about clearing customs?
    just relax and enjoy your trip to Canukistan! You will be fine.Travelling to Canada, can someone help me with some questions about clearing customs?
    You will be given a form to fill out on the plane, which you will present to the border patrol before you exit the airport. They will want to know why you are coming, where you are staying and if you have brought anything in to Canada with you. It is not difficult at all!





    http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel/menu-e鈥?/a>





    this is the website for customs, you may find some answers to your questions there.





    Bon Voyage!
    They give you the form on the plane and it is not difficult.


    Make sure you have proper ID.





    You will need (for US citizens):





    1.


    Proof of your U.S. citizenship such as your U.S. passport (For information on obtaining a U.S. passport, check with one of the regional passport agencies located throughout the U.S.) or certified copy of your birth certificate issued by the city, county or state in the U.S. where you were born. If you are a naturalized U.S. citizen and do not have a passport, you should travel with your naturalization certificate. A driver鈥檚 license, voter鈥檚 registration card or Social Security card is NOT valid proof of citizenship.


    2.


    Photo identification, such as a current, valid driver鈥檚 license.
    nothing to worry,, not complicated, just fill up the form which would be given to you by flight attendant during your flight and customs will get it and you don't have to fill up anything if you are not carrying any.

    Hi... i just cleared my naturalization process...i need passport n indian visa fast to travel india...as i ?

    thanksHi... i just cleared my naturalization process...i need passport n indian visa fast to travel india...as i ?
    Your passport is going to take 4-6 weeks. You can pay extra to have it expedited. Go to almost any U.S. Post Office for passport.


    Indian Visa: contact the nearest Indian Consulate. Don't know how long that will take.Hi... i just cleared my naturalization process...i need passport n indian visa fast to travel india...as i ?
    How soon do you have to go?


    You can get the passport application and instructions at the State Dept website. For an extra fee, you can get it in two weeks. If you are leaving within the week and have your ticket already, they can do a same day passport for you, but you will have to go to a passport office (there are only a few in every state)


    For the visa, contact the Indian embassy. Same, they can do a one day for you but you need to go the nearest consulate.
    how soon do you have to go? and what passport do you need? US or India?

    If a plane is travelling at 37000 ft how long would it remain visible to the naked eye on a clear day?

    That depends on how high above the ground your eyes are. You can then calculate the distance to the horizon. Do you have perfect vision?If a plane is travelling at 37000 ft how long would it remain visible to the naked eye on a clear day?
    What is the speed of the plane ? How large is the plane ?





    Do you assume our vision can detects it regardless how small it is ?If a plane is travelling at 37000 ft how long would it remain visible to the naked eye on a clear day?
    As long as you can see.unless no skyscapper comes in your way.
    40,000
    If the plane is travelling straight up , it will take about 5hrs to be visible from starting point.
    At a flash.
    depends on how well you see if you tell that maybe people will tell u
    That depends on your own ability to see doesn't it?

    Is there a way to clear your information from your traveling records?... Immigration officers driving me crazy

    Hey! i made a mistake 2 years ago of buying a one way ticket to usa ( i am canadian) because i was not sure if i wanted to spend christmas over there or not. I wasnt aware at that time that we were not allowed to do that.. Anyways so they stopped me and kept me there for hours questioning me. I go to the states often because i have my boyfriend , and friends there, so everytime i go i get stopped and questioned, they never belive that i will come back to canada even thought i bring proof that i have a life here. But eventually they let me through.. it is just so time consuming and sometimes scary that i have to go through that everytime i travel..





    Question is.... am i going to have to do this for the rest of my life everytime i go to the states?? or is there something that could be done to erase everything?? Let me know! ThanksIs there a way to clear your information from your traveling records?... Immigration officers driving me crazy
    You are probably going to have to do this for the rest of your life...or at least every time you go to the US. Purchasing a one-way ticket made you look like you were planning to stay illegally. You will probably always be under suspicion.





    However, as you WERE innocent, your explanation is apparently accepted each time. I know you feel ';inconvenienced'; but unfortunately we do things unthinkingly that have unintended consequences. This is one of those time. Because there are just so many people who DO intend to overstay -- innocent people like yourself end up paying for their dishonesty. It's a shame, but a fact of life.Is there a way to clear your information from your traveling records?... Immigration officers driving me crazy
    just tell then that you drove back (assuming that is what you did).





    but yes USA is paranoid and yes you may be constantly questioned about this every time you cross over.





    solution - do not cross over.
    Do you have a passport? I know we in the US now need a Passport to go to Canada (it used to just be a birth certificate).
