1. Libtards who pay no federal income tax couldn't care less how much of other people's money the prez and his spendthrift wife spend. 2. Bush took a lot of time off, but didn't he spend most of it at his ranch... not running up extravagant bills?
Right. Bush was usually either at Camp David or the Ranch. I don't think all the trips were considered vacations as much as a change of scenery. I think he even met with Putin and others at the Ranch.
Nah, Obama will go to down as America's first Black President, largely because Bush the Younger was ..... THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER
U do know I am going to spam this forum when Obama wins his second term, right. And barring some GOP miracle, it is Obama in a cakewalk
If you think Bush took to many vacations and now you are comparing Obama to Bush for the same problem then you agree that Obama is taking to many vacations. Why not just agree with the OP. For some reason you wanted to bring up the subject of Presidential vacation time through history.
LOL. Kunt2 and other liberals try to equate working from another location to the lavish vacations Barack and MeChelle take. Mr. Bush did spend time on ¡°vacation.¡± But Obama and Michelle closing down Bar Harbor, Maine to dine in upscale restaurants with a ¡°Latin flair¡± is quite different from G.W. fishing on his family¡¯s estate in Kennebunkport prior to hosting a ¡°Lobster Summit¡± for Vladimir Putin. According to CBS reporter Mark Knoller, a vacationing President Bush would go into town for an annual cheeseburger. On the other hand, every chance he gets, Barack relaxes seaside, sipping sunset cocktails and eating lobster while the Secret Service keep peons at bay. Maybe scorekeepers could refresh America¡¯s memory and cite the instance when Mr. and Mrs. Bush nearly brought the Big Apple to a halt while they leisurely took in dinner and a show. Intermittently, George W. did head home to conduct business from the ¡°Western White House¡± in Crawford, Texas. For fun, Mr. Bush would be seen with a ¡°power saw in his hand going after brush and dead trees.¡± President Obama has got to know that no one would condemn a decision to head home to his Tony Rezko-acquired property on South Greenwood Avenue in Chicago, instead of his $4,000 a night ¡°Winter White House¡± in Hawaii. Moreover, is there a liberal apologist honest enough to calculate the difference between Bush floating around in his father¡¯s row boat in Maine and the untold millions Obama spent, mixing business with pleasure, on a 250-person, GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt-enhanced traveling entourage that reserved 500 rooms in the Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai? During his tenure, Bush was regularly criticized for making 77 visits to Prairie Chapel Ranch. What detractors rarely mention is the former president voluntarily doing double-duty by entertaining 19 world leaders in his home. For those keeping track, that averages to be 2.375 working vacations a year. When not gathering cedar wood, Bush spent many a vacation day serving ¡°Southern-inspired¡± meals to dignitaries like China¡¯s former leader Ji¨¡ng Z¨¦m¨ªn. Some other notables feted at Mr. Bush¡¯s heartland ranch were: Tony Blair; Putin and his pectorals; King Abdullah; Australian and Italian Prime Ministers John Howard and Silvio ¡°Bunga Bunga¡± Berlusconi; Vicente Fox; Hosni Mubarak; Juan Carlos and Queen Sof¨ªa of Spain; German Chancellor Andrea Merkel; and Israel¡¯s Ariel Sharon. What is never mentioned is that the Obamas get a reprieve every time they¡¯re visited at the White House by Motown stars, ex-Beatles, ¡°Desperate Housewives¡±/Border security advisors, and Super Bowl party guests like the ex-Mrs. Marc Anthony, JLo. Moreover, the Obamas regularly blow off steam with at-home Latina cultural events and on Wagyu beef, cocktail parties, and Conga lines. Mr. and Mrs. Obama also shuffle together official business with throwing back pints of Guinness and Diwali dancing. Makes one wonder how liberals, who define Bush entertaining world leaders in Crawford as a vacation, can consider Obama touring Rio with Michelle, Sasha and Malia official business. http://biggovernment.com/jdeangelis/2011/08/22/a-windshield-rancher-and-the-nouveau-riche/
I saw on the news just the other night that your messiah has campaigned more any other president in history at this point. And the sheeple chanted: "Hope and Change...hope and change...."
