What message is that sending the country. Oh its bad for you all but not for me
The man took one weekend off. It wasn't a vacation - it was what the vast majority of us get every week.

Look up how many DAYS Bush went on vacation. Go ahead. Ok now do you see why we can't take you seriously? Obama takes weekends, not vacations. Bush straight up stopped being the president as he was on vacation more than any other president. Obama went home for the weekend. I hope you see where you went wrong now.

What exactly is your beef here? Or are you just one of the conservatives that love to split hairs?
No, I'm an Independent but I like to P*ss off both sides.

I'm down with indys. I'd be one if you stood a shot of having any affect on the government, but instead I choose the lesser of two evils.

Funny thing I do know who wrote the bill but I also understand that Obama gave them the parameters and outlined 200 billion dollars worth of spending. He then went with the crap bill that Pelosi wrote and sold it to the American people as his own. Not sure your point "dude."

Moderator cut: Inappropriate Obama took of two weekends in the FIRST month.

I bet he'll surpass the Bush vacation days in one term.

And Bush worked 9 to 5 and took off 4 weekends in his first month. Nobody was counting Bush's weekends off. We counted vacations.

Haha I take it you didn't take a look at Bush's days off. He has the most in the history of presidents.

Obama worked 27 days in his first month... and accomplished more than Bush did in 8 years.
