Trump will be the first one to tell you that the wealthy take fewer vacations. When you earn incredible sums of money each day, a day off "costs" (lost business, opportunities, not being front and center). These are the points "lost" regarding Obama's vacations. Does anyone think Obama is workign on these vacations, thinking about ideas and plans for the future? I doubt it.
The guy is literally tone deaf. He goes on these campaigns with $35,000 per person fundraisers, then takes off for vacation..flies back to Chicago as the debt deal was in full crisis mode, etc, etc...The guy continues to come across as nothing more than an actor standing in front of the camera reading his lines.
Has Odumba ever given a speach where he looks the American people in the eye rather than get his lines from a teleprompter? This is o/t, but why in the World is the 2nd place winner of the Straw Poll-Ron Paul-not getting ANY airtime by ANY network? Ron Paul imo is what America is begging for, but none of the entertainment-based news stations (all of them, sadly...) give him the time of day. I guess a Ron Paul Presidency would be filled with common sense tactics for getting this "malfunctioning corporation called America" back on track, and that's not entertainment I guess... Now Odumba? That's pure entertainment people want to tune in to so they can see his next blunder, which sells airtime. It really makes sense for the news networks to keep the common sense stuff out by promoting candidates they KNOW will entertain through blunders/controversy. Or in Odumba's case, a blunder everytime he opens his mouth, and the controversy that follows which each talking head can go on and on about as the Country burns...
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/08/17/eveningnews/main20093801.shtml So far, President Obama has taken 61 vacation days after 31 months in office. At this point in their presidencies, George W. Bush had spent 180 days at his ranch where his staff often joined him for meetings. And Ronald Reagan had taken 112 vacation days at his ranch.
Where is Obama's "ranch"? Where's Obama's home? Why doesn't he go on vacation to his home, like Bush and Regan? Bush was chopping weeds or cutting logs or something on his vacations at home, Regan was riding horses or something, what the heck does Obama do? Many people can work quite well from "home" so I really wouldn't call taking a vacation at home on the ranch a vacation. A rental on MV is a vacation.
