But did they specify donations in the form of play dough?

You know that he gave more than play dough, right? You would think on a discussion about stupid ducking criticisms you would attempt to not make them yourself. But here we are.

Wow, it's a mystery how someone who just registered an account has such a wide knowledge of Fly's work.

Are you a previously banned poster or just a spineless poster using a gimmick account?

I thought the sarcasm was evident enough, but I'll use [sarcasm] tags next time.

My bad, well done on the sarcasm. It is almost a perfect representation of the bad response to Obama's bad vacation/golf criticism.

There is such a thing as boosting morale though, which is what visiting the disaster area in person does for victims.

For example: Quote from one of the victims.

"Yet (person's name) who lost her home in the flood and was also at the church to pick up food with her family, beamed as she showed off an autograph on a Trump hat from an earlier rally in Baton Rouge."

"He took time out of his busy schedule to come here' (name) said. I don't care if he gives a nickel, he showed he cared by coming."

yeah there was another victim who rang in to share how incredibly, incredibly caring and generous Trump was. He also mentioned something about Trump having slept with thousands of attractive women, and having big, strong hands. And being incredibly wealthy.

That's not a very nice thing to say about a disaster victim who just lost her home.

He even gave the thumbs up to someone off camera to let them know he's had enough with the strenuous labor involved.

Care to wager on the result? You'll give me odds now that Trump is clearly in the lead?

Yes, it very much was. To the exact extent that "Obama be golfin'" is.

Hillary said she would let the banks fail.

You are being intentionally obtuse to score gotcha points rather than meaningfully engage in a debate.

I definitely wasnt trying to score "gotcha" points against you since I have no idea who you are or what your views or positions are. You made a post that was definitely wrong, and Shuffle then defended your definitely wrong post.

If you are trying to say you misspoke and gave the wrong impression, phrases like "sorry my bad" and "I misspoke and gave the wrong impression" serve better than "intentionally obtuse"

I agree it was. But didn't he take more vacation days by far than any recent President? I think it was a lot more about how many more vacation days he took than other Presidents.

The reality of the situation is basically the exact opposite. Banks are more risk averse than they have ever been, all three indices are making all time highs while major banks are 80%+ off their peaks etc. With unemployment at 5% and positive GDP growth, financial institutions are pretty much the only ones suffering consequences from the financial crisis still.
