Obama Time
I was just reading an article about how President Obama is always running late to meetings and events.
This is contrasted to President Bush who was always on time. Here is the link: Link

I’m fairly punctual I try to be to work about 5 to 10 minutes before my shift.
on time or early.
late
Way too early, usually.
Late or early, on time doesn’t matter… If your doing the best for the country.. Who cares about Bush’s being on time… He was a screw up… Who messed up our economy… I’m just gonna end with that cause I don’t wanna start a rant… But president Obama is going to have a rough time, he has to fix what our last president left a mess.. It’s not an easy job, could you fix it, ask yourself that question.. I think Obama is good..
Late except lately I’ve been right on time every morning for picking up my friend. Having a set schedule and half an hour extra time built into my morning has helped me a lot:)
Slacker!
Oh me? I just don’t give a f***.
early or on time
i’m typically with your dad
I have two kids both under 3…No,I am never one time.
@diamonddave75 - I agree,I mean crap the guy just started. Plus he also has two young girls. I am sure he trys to get some time in with them too. So far I think he is doing good. But I don’t agree with the bail out…but thats another story.
I’ve got health problems. So there.
Obama does seem compelled to smile in every camera at every chance he gets. That eats up time, man.
I’m typically late. It’s a bad quality, I agree. It generally happens because I’m so perfectionistic about details before I go some where. .
I’m usually on time.
Most of the time, I am on time. I like to get there early if possible. But I still need work with making my sessions on time.
typically late about 5 minutes
I’m always on time… except to my saturday class, but the instructor said, ” If you don’t come in hungover, you’re doing something wrong.”
Rarely, rarely on time… hmmm… Could I be President? hehehe
I enjoy carping at late folks. If I were late myself, I would lose this moral high horse.
Usually, I make it a priority to be on time.
Always on time, and most of the time early. I hate being late for anything.
im always late! no matter what haha
Hey man, to defend Obama, he’s from Hawaii. On time in Hawaiian Time means regular on time + 15 minutes.
depends on how important the event is, though I usually try to be about 1 minute early. haha.
dating, yes. hahaha
but on time in school and whatever it is.
hes late because he’s got a lot of important things to do, like fixing our country!
And he will!
OBAMAOBAMAOBAMA!
YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN!
Unbeknownst to his Republican foes, President Obama has the power to bend time and space.
Either that or Rahm Emmanual is an ass for overbooking his boss.
I try to be on time.
Im Persian…Im always late. That’s just the way it goes.
I’m a little bit of both but I’m usually late. So yea, fine, I’m late.
i’m always late for shit. all the time. lol i run on filipino time thank you very much.
and bush never did anything, so of course he could at least show up on time.
while obama? he has to do and plan all the shit bush left behind undone/unfinished!
he’s using all the time he can.
i don’t think it matters… lol.
O-BA-MA!
If I was the President – I’d take my time. Haha.
I’m usually ten minutes early though. A lesson I learned from my Grandpa.
I am never late for anything, being late shows a lack of respect and personal responsibility….. what do you expect from a illegal alien
On time
usually on time, i think
I’m always on time.
I tend to run just a little later than I intended, especially in the morning.
i always try to be on time
except if overmacht happen
I am early and ready.
I’m usually running late.
I try to be early or a little bit early. Of course sometimes, there are always circumstances that make you a little bit late. Oh, well.
I’m almost always late. It’s stressful, and I’m not sure how I manage it. <33
I’m almost always on time or early. When I’m late it’s usually due to circumstances beyond my control.
Late. Often I’ll start off early then end up being late because i was killing time.
I’m almost always on time.
I’m typically early, actually. Which can be awkward at times.
@lotta_valdez - lol! yess that must be the reason!
i’m always late.. since i was a kid.. i always miss my school bus.. always miss the national athem that plays in the morning… i always miss the beginning of first period.. and now.. i’m always late to work (like today.. i was 20 mins late).. ha..ha..ha..
I strive to leave my self time to change a flat tire then still be on time. Problem is you don’t always want to be to early. It makes you look desparate in some situations. Soooo….even though I’m always really early I usually have some paperwork to do in my vehicle so I don’t look so early.
I’m always 10 minutes early.
Early always, but I guess a President can afford to be late
On time for school and late for meeting with friends. Ooops.
laaaaaaaaaaate or just barely on time.
unless it’s school. and then, i’m only early so i can get a good parking spot.
yeah, i’m usually late.
but black people are always late.
I’m always on time. A little early even.
Obama is actually doing constructive work for our nation…
I am generally early or on time… But our new president hasn’t even had time to settle in yet so we probably should cut him some slack…….at least for a while……. Actually thinking of him running around like a crazy person trying to find his shoes and stuff while juggling “daddy please” requests from the kids makes him feel a bit more like a real person to me…….~Echo
Early.
I’m always early. I’m neurotic about being on time and people being late. It drives me crazy. And it’s rude.
Early.
Obama shows his black side, huh
-adieu, stace
I was taught that being on time was respectful, my husband on the other hand comes from a family who is always running late…it’s been interesting trying to morph those two things…
I am always wayyyyyy toooo early. -.-
I always feel this need to be everywhere a little bit early, or on time. I hate being late for things and I hate when I’m with people that just take their own sweet time. Haha, it actually makes me anxious when a friend and I are trying to make it to a movie and they take their time and say “ohh we’ll only miss the previews, who cares…” ahaha, But I love watching the previews!!
Early. I was taught that if you’re early, you’re on time, but if you’re on time, you’re late. Therefore, always be early!
i try to be on time or a little eary for most things
LOL, I am usually early to things. Sometimes I can run late though since I am a girl I always can be fashionably late.
I’m always really early.
late. all the time. haha!
on time
even if I try to be late, I’m still one of the first people there.
I figured he’d be on time, it seems like he has his stuff together.
So he went to an elementary schools classroom to meet the kids, making him late for the press. I probably could have done both and not been late. But then again he’s the President.
=]
latee, but occasionally I’m ready beforehand
Typically early or on time. If I’m going to be late I call ahead.
I am ALWAYS early… My mommy says it’s because I was born early.
gotta be late and make an entrance .
Always EARLY.
Late.
I’m one of those people who say ”Okay I’ll be there later” instead of an actual time because I know that I will inevitably get distracted and come late.
he’s not late, brah, he’s on island time eh!
early.
people who are late tend to be selfish.
If you’re there 10 mins earlier ure on time… if u get there AT the time it starts, you’re already late….
I’m always on time… if not earlier
I try to be early, or just late enough that people think I’m going to be late but I actually end up being just in time. Did that make sense?
On time. If I’m late, it’s cause of my pops. >:O
I’m on time if you pay me. If not, “time” is a fluid concept.
I guess he’s quite relaxed.
Annoyingly early..hard to imagine how much time I’ve wasted in this regard, but I never have to sweat almost being late!
late
Early. On time at my worst.
On time or early.
Eh, depends on who I am representing. Obama represents the American people so that is kind of offensive. But then again how many meetings could he have been late for so early into his term, it’s kind of an unfair observation.
I try (and fail) to be on time to most things.
I’m on time… but rarely early, heh.
particularly late. it’s hard to be on time when you have to wait for two more people to get in the car.
This actually makes me pretty mad. To me, being punctual and on time is the #1 way to show respect for your job and that you actually care. Wake up five minutes earlier or set an alarm on that Blackberry or something! Being president doesn’t give you the excuse to run late.
I am NEVER late to anything. When I say Im going to be there at a certain time… Believe me. I WILL!
I have become like this because everyone I know is always late and it annoys me like you wouldnt believe.
I am almost always right on the dot.
Oh man, people need to give the guy a break
Normally I’m on time… Sometimes way earlier then I should be
Bush was always on time, but it would have been better had he never showed up.
Always….always, always late.
Even when I wake up early for something, always late.
Unavoidable.
Very early.
I’m always late unless I’m getting paid to be on time or unless it’s something I actually give a damn about.
@lotta_valdez - Every president stalls in some way. Last one used up time making up words to fit into sentences in the (all to frequent) event he didn’t know the proper English term for whatever he was trying to say.
Anyway.. @ Everybody: ;___; LEEEEAVE BARACK ALOOOOONE.
>> It just kinda irritates me how the media is looking for him to fuck-up so quickly. On top of that, they most unfuckupable person ever to try catching in a mess.
Anyway.. I’m ..strategically punctual; I’m on time when I have to be, as punctual as neccesary other times.
It works out when you’re a person who has to be in 2-3 places at once, like I’ve..kinda always been, at every phase of my life.
it depends on the occasion. im always 5 minutes early to class… always a minute late if im meeting someone, because i feel really uncomfortable waiting for people so this way they’re the ones that wait (only a little bit!)
Bush had to make up for all that vacation time somehow. He might as well be punctual.
Er… anyway, I’m almost always on time. Usually a little early if I can help it.
Depending on the distance, unexpected occurrences (like having to swerve out of the way to prevent hitting a deer that appeared out of nowhere), and traffic, I’m usually on time.
Obama is black (for those who forgot). I have never known a black person to be on time to anything. Black people and Latino’s especially.
Something about the culture just doesn’t allow for them to be on time.
As a knight who says ni, I’m always on time. It is the least i can do for my brothers and sisters in Ni hood.
Early or on time. Never late!
I’m always on time.
I am obsessive about being on time for anything. If I am late you can bet it wasn’t my fault!
maxx
dam obama better be on time to meetings from now on
i dont like late ppl especially being late as a president wat r youuuuuuuuu kidding me?
the most important person at the meetings is the president yo he cant be late
(i dont talk like this, but somehow i got into the mood and speak like a G lol j/k)
late late late. almost always
Late.
I think they should fire Obama for his habitual tardiness.
That’s not fair. He’s always black too.
Punctuality (?sp) is a virtue. One that needs to be cultivated in youth. I’m impressed there are so many early, or on time posts here!! Good Job!!
When it comes to work I’m on time or probably early.
When I make plans with other people something always happens to delay me so I’m late.
Early, unless my mom is involved; she always makes us late.
@figachewy – Actually, he was the junior Senator from Illinois. On time there is defined as when the corrupt fuck shows up.
on time/ early.
I HATE being late
on asian time. lol.
Early.
Depends on where I’m going. If I need to get to somewhere important I’ll be there on time and maybe even early. Other than that, I’m usually a little bit late depending how urgent I need to be there.
Maybe Obama is late cuz he’s acutally WORKING…
I’m just sayin’
=Matt=
Punctuality is symptomatic of an ordered mentality. Conversely…!
on time for classes… but late for everything else… such as doctor appointments, dentist, optomitrists… etc… but i do try my best to be on time as much as possible!!!! >.<”
